Default Some questions

If Ky has not had a positive for clembuterol in the three years that John Veitch has been there why does he say that it is the highest level he has seen? Wouldn't that be the onlylevel he has seen if there are no other positives?

IEAH's Ivarone says that "pre race testing would have caught" the latest Dutrow positive. If you are banning all drugs why do you need to pretest for them?

If Dutrow has a Clembuterol positive why does the NY Times story announcing it say he "faces a Steroid ban" since Clembuterol isnt a steroid?

I believe they were reaching for "hard hitting journalism".

The Grey Lady has fallen pretty far lately, hasn't it?

how many people do you think actually know that it isn't a steroid?

Not sure how many remember 2006 when a bunch of Chinese people were made sick after eating pork that had been fed "lean meat powder" (Clenbuterol)....the headlines all declared that the hogs were fed steroids.

The NYT has seemingly increased its horse racing coverage recently, just about the same time every story became negative.
