I suspect that this is not the first time this has happened in an FEI 
event (eventing or jumpers would be my guess) so there should be a 
precedent. Hopefully they take a significant disciplinary stand. How 
they handle this issue will go a long way in determining the preception 
and how they are viewed in this country. For the most part many people ( 
but I am sure not all) are getting tried of hearing the impact of drugs 
in sports. I know I sure am and I am anxiously awaiting to verdict from 
the FEI. Hopefully they don't take the same lame approach MLB tried to 
get away with until John McCain tap danced on their head last year.

For this ten plus year AERC International member how the FEI handles 
this durg infraction will show how they stand on many issues and will 
determine if I rejoin AERC Internation or save 10 bucks.
