So are you saying it's ok to break the rules if others are doing it but not getting caught?

PG finally come up with a sensible post and yet people still knock him. I think he is right and a lot of people I know feel the same way. The morality level of many of the 'leaders' of the sport is dangerously low and statements like you just made are often used as justification for misdeeds.

The fact that he's said so many outlandish things in the past works against him in a situation like this.
And yes... I really will feel ill if Asmussen wins the Derby after serving most of 2006 on suspension.

I don't really like him much either. But that isn't because he's busted for cheating on a regular basis.

It all doesn't matter because Curlin isn't going to win.
