Wow. You guys don't think things through much, do you?

The guy was so desperate for a paycheck he used a buzzer. Yeah, he should be checked for drugs. Doubt he was that desperate for food and housing.

Yeah, no possibility the guy was looking for money to support his drug habit. That's absurd

The guy was given a 5-year suspension. Nothing wrong with making sure he's absolutely clean coming back to the backside.

You guys defending against that makes perfect sense

Should Pat Valenzuela have been given a Rorshach test by the State of Louisiana because of how dumb he had been over the years? The punishment fit the crime and the entity that banned him will be watching over him for years to come.

Yes, I think that guys who have been ruled off for five years need to have drug testing added to their probation if they try and come back to the track.

The only thing bizarre and weird about that is you guys falling over yourselves saying no way

Amazing that some of us think the punishment fit the crime. How do you feel about Florida drug testing welfare applicants?

A track has every right to ensure those on their backstretch are drug free. Especially those that have been ruled off for five years.
