I guess some people just don't realize, what's going to happen when the general public and the casual bettor ( lets say a couple of OTB visits a month) find out, just how crooked this business can be and is.
Sure they all suspect there is cheating but when some large news organizations, take your pick HBO, 60 Minutes, EsPN, etc... exposes one of the top level cheaters, the big national names and they nail, really nail them. And expose the fast and loose frequency of the cheating everywhere across North America.
What happens then??? Say a Kentucky Derby winner gets exposed six weeks after the fact. Today with 24 hour news organizations needing to fill time aka Tiger, gate crashers, balloon boy. Do you really think it stops with that particular incident or does every station in every town w/ a racetrack expose there local cheats, deserved or undeserved.
When does the sport recover from that? Does the sport recover from that or is it the final nail, leaving only slot money and insiders.
As for if its not tested for, then its not illegal.......how about this..... a douche bag changes one atom/molecule etc. in a date rape drug.
It's not illegal cause there not testing for it, cause they don't know it exists.................but its the same thing as the previous drug/same effect except its legal, only because its not specifically illegal. I'll say it. ITS JUST AS DISGUSTING
Thanks to Cannon Shell for saying as much as he did/was able to say in a public forum
