that's the thing, every trainer, good or bad has friends, family, associates, acquaintances. and they will defend the bad to the bitter end.
not enough to have scads of violations, suspensions, getting caught whilst on suspension having contact with their barns, etc.
the sport needs cleaning up, but it's impossible. you have trainers getting HOF nominations, spending a year on the sideline for cobra venom and hired right back...why? because they're 'good trainers'.
there are good trainers, who don't have all the repeated overages, positives, etc. but some people want to win at all costs, and they find plenty of trainers that will do that for them.
some of us want a level playing field-others don't give a rats behind about it. and that's how these trainers get or stay in business, they have fans.
everyone saying they want a clean sport might as well give up, it won't happen. all you can do is wager accordingly.
