all they can do is suspend these guys. they don't have the legal right to track phone calls and finances. they have no right to subpoena any of that stuff. it's horse racing, not the fbi. they can limit access to property under their control, that's about it.

A horse racing board is part of the government. They have the right to subpoena phone records and bank records. I'm not saying that they will do it, but they can do it if they want to. A friend of mine was on the CHRB for a long time. This guy also happens to be a lawyer. He was the one who told me that they can do this.

If you read any of the articles about trainers who get caught with positives, you probably know that once you get caught with a positive, they search your barn, they search your car, I think I read that they even searched a guy's house. They can pretty much do whatever they want.
