Biancone Returns to New York

[Danzig]

considering how many times biancone has had issues, and how many jurisdictions don't welcome him, i don't agree that he should be able to train away. how many times does someone get to do their time only to come back and do it all again-til they get caught again?

as for the logic that others do drugs, so why get on biancone...when you catch them, you ban them. the more you catch and kick out, the less you have doing the same. hell, are the cops supposed to quit arresting people because there are others breaking the law?

The rules are the rules, law is the law. He was out of the game for 1 year. He lost a lot of money and top horses. The one's I can remember off the top of my head.... Lady Of Venice, Slews Tiznow, and Ball Four. There are many many more. He did the time for his crime, and I embrace him being back.

i'm well aware of the horses he had, and the length of the suspension. my contention is that the length of his suspension wasn't long enough, and that there should be more serious consequences for rules violations such as having cobra venom.
the vet got several years, four or five-biancone should have gotten the same, or even longer, considering his history. he's a repeat offender.a year is a joke, especially considering what they were caught with. and give me a break about 'maybe they weren't using it'. anyone thinking someone is going to own and possess something like that, but not really use it is beyond naive.


the racing boards really need to have more stringent rules and tougher punishments when someone is a multiple offender. perhaps we should also extend our reciprocity from north america to world wide, then clowns like biancone wouldn't be able to train here.

he was gone a year, did anyone notice anything lacking due to his absence?

So how do you feel about Asmussen,Dutrow,Pletcher,and the rest of the crew?All of them also have multiple violations in their past,and so they should be gone also,right?Why single out Biancone?

i'm not singling biancone. i've never made a secret of my disdain for the assman, and am certainly no fan of dutrows. i've been an avid supporter of strict rules with real punishment for these violators. the sport doesn't need them.

also, i'll remind you that the thread is about biancone, which is why i wrote about biancone. has nothing to do with singling him out-he's certainly not a victim at all.

I dont have a list of positives or anything, and I know this thread is about PB, but I think the other trainers mentioned are a bit worst then him.

varying degrees of bad is still bad. biancone deserves derision, not sympathy. yet owners still send him their stock-that ought to tell you just how much they care about their horses.

I thought a year was a bit excessive, but who am I? Its not just the year, its the horses and the MONEY HE LOST. I dont know how you can aruge it was not enough, they found the venom in his barn, no one can prove he administered it to any of his horses.

again, why would he possess it if he wasn't using it? hey, maybe the jock up on cocaine charges should use that kind of defense...seriously, what the hell would you possess an illegal substance for, and take that kind of risk for, without using it? you really, really think he wasn't actually using it?! hilarious. besides, he knows the rules, and chose to break them. i couldn't care less if it cost him millions-he made that choice.

Apparently, you don't care about the other horseman who LOST MONEY when he was engaging in his less than reputable practices.

They can't prove he adminstered to the horses because they don't have a test for it. Why do you think he had it in the first place? You're not that naive, are you?

If someone can get a picture of that I'll have a new avatar.
