Default Asmussen: Lone Star positive
He got a positive with Timber Trick in a 7 length MSW win at Lone Star.

It's really a shame to see such fine upstanding trainers as Dutrow, Jones, and Asmussen all get positives in less than a week.

Larry is the only one to me that is an "upstanding" trainer.. The other two are used to these infractions.

Is somebody deliberately trying to make this the worst PR year in the history of the game? If so, they're doing a dang fine job at it. The timing of all this is unbelievable...

This is some really serious ****. It's getting so bad that I can't concentrate on handicapping, what with all these positives and all the PVAL news, etc.



I wouldn't wanna be involved in a game with bad PR, would I?

It's a shame more fine and upstanding trainers haven't tested positive, at this stage I would be more surprised of a negative test result than a positive.

Yeah, it really is terrible seeing this squeaky clean game tarnished by the evil doings of " somebody. "

Asmussen may be looking at 6 months for this one. This is a serious one. This is similar to the one he got nailed for last time. It is the same kind of drug.

All I'm saying is that it's been a crappier media year than most. I feel like I've been in permanent damage control mode since May.

It's not like this is anything new for Asmussen.

Right, but the problem is that once again racing is forced to be reactive because they have been far short of proactive on the drug issue for WAY too long.

But isn't lidocaine considered lower than mepivocaine?

I sure could use some lidocaine right now. This cruel witch hunt by PETA is bringing me down.

I don't know if it's considered any less potent than mepivocaine. I think they are both considered Class II drugs. The article says that the recommended penalty in most states is 6 months.

I'll agree to that.

Now pass me a hit of lidocaine to get me through the rest of the week!
