Chapa gets 5 year ban

I wish they had mandatory drug testing accompanying reinstatements like this. Otherwise good luck to him turning his life around and making it through probation.

He got banned for having a buzzer, not cocaine.

Those caught with buzzers should have to go thru a metal detector.

She misunderstood buzzer and thought buzzed...typical for an Obama voter.

Wow. You guys don't think things through much, do you?

The guy was so desperate for a paycheck he used a buzzer. Yeah, he should be checked for drugs. Doubt he was that desperate for food and housing.

Yeah, no possibility the guy was looking for money to support his drug habit. That's absurd

Should Pat Valenzuela have been given a Rorshach test by the State of Louisiana because of how dumb he had been over the years? The punishment fit the crime and the entity that banned him will be watching over him for years to come.

Your overall judgement just keeps gaining in strength.

Yes, I think that guys who have been ruled off for five years need to have drug testing added to their probation if they try and come back to the track.

The only thing bizarre and weird about that is you guys falling over yourselves saying no way

Amazing that some of us think the punishment fit the crime. How do you feel about Florida drug testing welfare applicants?

I didn't think anything could top Iwantfreepp's reasoning for taking JV off Animal Kingdom, and yet, how could I forsee this gem lurking just a mere 24 hours later?

Yeah, thinking that anybody ruled off for 5 years should have to undergo drug testing as part of their probation requirements is a really strange and bizarre idea in today's world. So bizarre that you can't even comprehend such a thing

What about drug testing Calvin Borel? I thought he must have been on drugs when he went berserk after last year's BC Dirt Marathon.

Please enlighten us to the correlation between cheating with a buzzer and drug use all knowing one. I don't think that anyone is buying your assumption that he had to be using a buzzer because he was desperate for a paycheck. Where that turns into a further assumption that he is using illegal drugs is even more bizzare logic.

Why don't you re-read all the posts I've made - including the one where I said anyone coming back off 5 years of being ruled off should have it as part of their probation to being permitted back on the track - then let me know which words you can't understand.

I have understood everything you have posted. Your continued insistance to the contrary accompanied with insults does not change the facts. The problem is that as is the case with virtually everything else you post on this board, your suggestion was plain stupid. For this reason, those of us with true common sense have questioned the wisdom of your premise.

The fact that the guy illegally used a buzzer in no way suggests that he is ingesting illegal narcotics. Those of us with a modicum of intelligence believe that there should be a factual basis to demand a drug test before a jock moves to be reinstated for a suspension unrelated to drugs. You appear to be the only one who fails to comprehend this. Keep up the great work!
