I tend to agree with you on this one, but I suspect that, if there was some sort of "owner responsibility" rule (I'm not advocating one - I'd like to start with giving meaningful penalties and ending the sham suspensions, and see how those measures work first), owners would probably start making it their business to find out what their trainer might be doing - and ensuring that their stable doesn't get sent to the "penalty box". To those that don't care, the old adage that "if you play with fire, you might get burned" will probably apply.
