Matz competed for years at the very top international-Olympic levels under drug restrictions far more stringent and variant via jurisdiction than of what he's competing under via TB horse racing today. He knows about drugs. He's an extraordinarily capable and knowledgable horseman, and I'd respect his opinion (whatever it is) as coming from a very knowledgable and experienced place.

I'd guarantee that Matz puts the horses before any owners. There's a reason he didn't stay in international show jumping. Doubtful drugs had anything to do with it, the Lael people supported less drugs in racing.
