Probably as much as they know about Baseball...don't know how to respond to that one. Who knows maybe they own a baseball or 2...

Horse Racing has a drug policy? What is it the better your connections the more money you make?

Sort of the opposite of you.....the more money you make the better your connection.

No I was joking, horseracing is clean and everything is above board with a squeaky clean image fostered by the extraordinary testing program administered throughout the last 20 years. All is well...in la la land.

Who are you? Rick Arthurs agent? If the game is so bad why do you follow it? You make the statement that you dont really know anything about performancing enhancing drugs yet you seem to have all the answers from reading the Bloodhorse coverage of Ed Whitfield and Rick Arthur. The point that I was making that you seemed to miss is that the trainers of the 70's had a free pass because the testing was not very good and the Assmussen, Pletcher, etc positives of the recent times would never have been found back then.
