I know that you don't let thing like facts and details get in the way but I guess you forgot that they treated the horse entirely within the regulations sent to them by the people in Dubai, regulations that were changed because of this incident. So Bradley follows what he believes to be the rules, was completely open about the procedure done to the horse and when it was done (which was and remains legal), and yet you still want to act as though he is some kind of drug cheat?

The biggest problem with all these medication issues is that people defend those which dont have positives as though they are clean despite a preponderance of evidence suggesting that they are operating well beyond their actual capabilities and throw guys like Bradley who are almost certainly not cheating but because of a screwed up system they have a bad test, under the bus.
