Yes, there are other guys but Baffert does cheat in the most prestigious races in the sport and if you look at it in terms of money (purse money and breeding rights), he's probably the biggest crook in the history of the sport. Think of all of the owners, horses, trainers, who could have won a major stakes race but ran second to one of his doped-up horses.
And in terms of the number of drug violations per start and horses that simply dropped dead, Baffert is the leader in both categories according to the stats that I've seen. Rudy Rodriguez and John Sadler both have a lot of violations per start as well. The other thing is that Baffert lies and makes up crazy excuses and is an embarrassment to the sport.
