More to be indicted?
What is the possibility that more trainers will be indicted related to the arrests on Monday?
I read that California has blood samples from horses dating back two years. Since they now know what to test for, couldn't they feasibly find evidence of these drugs in those samples? In addition, assuming this drug is in those samples, isn't it likely that these distributors and vets will incriminate other trainers as part of plea deals they'll make for a reduced sentence, and by extension add more validity to the cases?
One thing we know for absolute certainty: The horse racing industry at large has zero interest in "catching" cheaters. At least they didn't have any interest in this for the last twenty or so years. My guess is those in this indictment will be the end of it until the next time the FBI gets involved.
