Which is why the game is so screwed up and no amount of federal intervention or central command can change it. There is a difference between being on the cutting edge and doing illegal things. Unfortunately it seems like the lines have blurred so much that people cant see the difference and worse dont care. Any trainer can offer an owner with unlimited funds these things Freddy. Swimming, hyperbaric, off track training...these things are available to anyone if they are given the funds. These guys are not staying big despite the bad press because they give gastrogard. Owners stay there because they are too insecure or egotistical to admit they dont care HOW they are winning. You cant expect every big owner to have a moral conscience but it would be nice to see one.
