Just to spell it out further for you, we are agreeing on this topic.

Like the timing of the CHRB decision on O'Neill and the head of the NM racing commission saying that he hopes they get a lot of positive tests, it is just another attempt by mostly inept regulators to "prove" their worth by "getting tough". They have absolutely no idea of what is really going on so they come up with these after the fact, technical violations though I have no idea why the vets who are licensed as well aren't being punished since they are the actual individuals who are delivering the 1700 illegal medications.
As I said before Pena is almost assuredly not innocent but I am skeptical about the ability of regulators to more or less decide guilt on evidence that surely will be trashed once this gets to court. Of course many people will be happy that a guy like Pena is eliminated regardless of the method but the fact remains that now trainers and vets will be more diligent in covering their tracks and more importantly they still aren't any closer to figuring out the real ingredients in the magic wand.
