We can go back over 30 years and we've seen a parade of high profile athletes come up with tremendous and almost other worldly performances who've been caught cheating. They all denied it and they all kept doing it under scrutiny till they were caught. Given Bafferts history why would anyone believe he's clean?

The problem is there’s difference between speculating and proving someone is cheating.
I’ve repeatedly read that the rules don’t distinguish between source of the positive (injection or ointment). That lead me to believe the horse would get DQ’d either way. Now people here are saying something different.
I assumed most this was about Baffert’s punishment because imo there’s clearly a difference between injecting the horse inside the window and using an ointment.
I also read a quote from some vet that said it would be close to impossible to determine the source of the positive from blood tests.
I wish we could at least get accurate reporting.
