I think if you get fired you have the right to know why, even if they are within their rights to can you. I would also admit to some puzzlement about why the public shouldn't know.

I believe Garcia and Lake were multiple positives in PA and MD for Stanozolol, a steroid used therapeutically in failure to thrive cases. And if anyone is waiting for me to defend Garcia and Lake, I checked into their positives for Stanozolol as best as I could and determined both were pushing the envelope with the use of Stanozolol. They were looking for an edge and got caught. No story on my blog.

You might remember when many trainers used Stanozolol, at the time legal and marketed as Winstrol, with the most notable instance being Rick Dutrow injecting Big Brown before the Derby. RCI pushed hard to ban Winstrol to the point where the manufacturer discontinued production of the drug. It is only available now through compounding pharmacies. RCI also is pushing all jurisdictions to adopt zero tolerance for Stanozolol which Maryland did.

Now if you want my opinion about zero-tolerance standards....
