Re: [RC] [RC] reply to Bob Morris - Truman Prevatt
Excause me. Even if there was an "eyewitness" to someone givng
something by syringe, you will sitll have to prove the substance given
the horse was a banned substance which require testing. Giving
substances by syringe is quite common at endurance rides, electrolytes,
probiotics, water to wash down same, etc.
An "eyewitness" many times only knows what they know - and that isn't
much - and in general I suspect that without verification of the
substance, you have no evidence - at least that would hold up in the
lawsuit that would follow.
Then why is the normal "evidence" used come from a "drug test?"
Uh, because a drug test is one solid form of evidence?? Just because it
is the most common form of evidence used does not mean that it has to be
the ONLY form of evidence used. Which is one more reason why it is good
that the rule is written in such a way to allow for other forms of
evidence (such as eye-witness reports) to be used when appropriate.
