All these silly rules and regulations...
If Racing Boards and Commissions would simply enact (and enforce) some stringent penalties to those who choose to cheat, things will correct themselves rather quickly.
I for one support lifetime bans for trainers, prison time, and severe fines for the owners etc...
Most people choose not to commit crimes or cheat their fellow man because they have been raised with a moral code. For those who lack that moral code, punishment is the next step in deterrent of committing these crimes.
Racing has always had its share of the less than desirable types, it just seems that these people currently are enjoying an ALL time high of success in racing. To thwart this, more bureaucracy and red tape is not the answer, the penlty phase needs to be made much more severe that it will encourage these people to straighten out.
