People point out that people on the internet (complaining) are just blowing smoke or somehow don't know what their talking about. Some of that is true, some is not. But if you think for one minute that powerful people like Stronach and the Phipps are not getting phone calls and warnings from other powerful people warning them when things see the light of day and are public. You are really kidding yourself, these people know the heat is on and I'm guessing they've been told so. You really think people like this don't have political allies and enemies? You think they have not been told to clean up or look out? Because once the dam breaks the US govt will be up horse racings ass...it will be trainers instead of Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds.

Huh? If Roger Clemens were 10-15 years younger, he still would be pitching. It was getting old that put him out of the game.

I'm not if you are aware of this, but people in all professions get fined, their licenses suspended, or even sent to jail, and yet can come back into their line of work. Doctors. Lawyers. Contractors. Yes, even for those with civil or criminal penalties, once the punishment is over and the terms are met, another license is issued. For athletes with short productivity windows, such suspensions might function as a life sentence. But for many of them, they don't. Pro athletes are constantly coming out of drug violation vacations after being caught red-handed, and being reinstated. Or from criminal matters like cock-fighting, and finding multiple teams bidding for their services, no matter what PR baggage they carry.

Look around you. The US justice system is not a Saudi one. Take that reality to heart, even though it might upset you so.
