Your analogy would carry more weight if the Olympic sports weren\'t such a cesspool of PED\'s.

Think Usain Bolt is setting world records with pure talent? Ask Angel Hernandez about that.

I don\'t need to know you to know that you don\'t know everything that you claim to know.

Not disputing that the vast majority of trainers and vets don\'t cheat.

However the attending vet may not necessarily be the source of the illicit substances.

Not every PED needs to be injected as Victor Conte has proven and the black market from which most PED\'s emerge is open to all with knowledge of it and cash.

We understand that the most violations are for legal drugs found to be in the system at a slightly higher than allowable levels more akin to speeding tickets than murders, that isn\'t exactly what we are worried about is it?

In the case of the tweeting Dr are we really supposed to believe that he simply operates in the gray area\'s where specific rules for as of yet not tested for substances exist which in some way validates his activities? Not that he isn\'t trying to gain an illegal edge but that he takes advantage of the system until the system catches up?

But now since he fessed up he has turned over a new leaf?

Has he seen the light?

Highly doubtful as his ancillary businesses have given him the latitude to narrow down his \"work\" to a few choice clients, none of which seem to be of the empty wagon variety. By keeping the circle tight the small but select club benefits at an even greater level than if his clientele base was wider. The trainers and owners that he works for seem to not be scared off by the negative consternation that he evokes as shown by his tweets bragging about the work being done, when and for whom. His persona doesn\'t seem to be that much different than the movie version of a serial killer toying with the authorities.

You don\'t throw out the baby with the bath water perhaps?

The very idea that you \"know\" who is honest is a preposterous notion.

Mr Brown had a falling out with the Dr soon after his training career began. Two massive egos weren\'t suited to survive.

The paradox that the Dr in question has created is that by spilling some of the beans to the Jockey Club Godfathers he has in effect because one of the good guys in their view. His genius lies in making himself so desirable that the all ethics are tossed out the window in order to ensure that his services will be rendered. Parlaying that reputation into his Lubrisyn/ReBourne product line which is now probably outpacing his direct racetrack revenue tenfold he has used larceny to his benefit. His maneuvering by which he turned the tables on a Jockey Club desperate to obtain real life information in their odd fight with lasix and trainers in general added to his repeated stance against legal medications like lasix is nothing short of PR genius. All of a sudden the Dr is on the same side as the Jockey Club on their pet issue and is seemingly the lone racetrack practitioner called for the abolition of that lasix stuff and has placed himself to the unknowing as a vet with a conscience. That crazy dude that is threatening to start World War III in North Korea could do worse than hire the Dr to shore up his public image and perhaps turn his soldiers into Rambo\'s with his DOJ stuff.

Any client list of the good Dr\'s that leaves out Dale Romans and Neil Drysdale is without a doubt incomplete

Mr Brown, trainer extraordinaire was of course the good Dr\'s assistant for several years.
