A one-year suspension is standard for first violation, mere possession (not use) of a Class A substance.
Here is the link to the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium rules: http://www.rmtcnet.com/

I find it ironic that he's been banned just at the time of year of some of his greatest wins. 1983 and 84 Arc wins and 1st past the post in 85 but placed 2nd.
I hope that all of his current staff are certainly deemed unsuitable to have his licence. Surely one way to stamp this out would be a ban and a bar on all current employees and fairly recent past employees holding the licence

In Kentucky the horses cannot be tranfered to any Asst. or family member period , the owners will have to find new trainers. Ca. has something like this in the works also but I dont think its in stone yet .

The vet got 5 years. I know the 1 year is standard, but I think the committee could move away from the standard penalty. What is the point in the 1 year suspension. I say give the person who violates the rul with a 5 year ban. We are the only country who puts up this crap in our sport.
