Yeah, I did. Tracks have a great degree of privacy. They can make virtually any conditions they'd like when allowing someone who has been ruled off back onto their property.

So are you saying that the government would be wrong to test people recieving some sort of financial aid?
I would think that they would be able to make up whatever conditions they wanted as well.

How "drug free" do you think the collective American backstretch is to single out this one dude for testing? You don't actually think they have some sort of freshly laundered white linen image to uphold, do you?

I just looked up "obfuscation" in the dictionary, and strangely enough, found a picture of Riot right next to the definition.

Really? What part of, "I think people trying to come back to the track after being ruled off for five years, no matter the reason, should undergo drug testing" is too hard for you to understand?

This dude is getting "singled out" by me because he's just been off five years and wants back. Anybody off that long, for any reason - Biancone, etc - can go through the same thing in my opinion.

The activity today in this thread has convinced me that terrorists are justified in beheading certain people.
