Sure. And I think the majority of everyday drug positives are just that.

But in this particular case we are talking repeated violations of TCO2 levels that are set high enough so that there is no way, naturally, for 99.7% of the horses in the population to obtain that level.

Very true. There is a better chane of hitting powerball three weeks in a row than getting 4 naturally occuring TCO2 positives.

On the same hand I also hate the fact that some guys are considered "clean" because they are seemingly nice guys or are pleasant with the press. The level of security in terms of horses being treated with illegal, performancing meds is a joke. There is almost no deterrent or detection happening. The amount of money spent in this area is about 5% of what it should be.

I think we can pretty much all agree Stevens was fairly clean.
