Well, he's in a tough spot. I suppose it's part of the licensing process that all jockeys agree to testing and it's probably a condition of his numerous reinstatements that allows for the kind of scrutiny he's now under.

Jockeys have stress like everyone. However, they do not have the opportunity to enjoy food and water as do most people. So, it's not surprising many riders develop substance abuse problems.

I sure hope he licks his problems, whatever they are.

Personally, I think the CHRB has better things to be concerned about than PV, namely figuring how to fill a simple 2-turn N1X dirt race and the implementation and potential effect of running on artificial dirt.

How the hell they handle $15 mil on a Saturday out there with what they're running is a mystery to me.
