I have to agree here! Is there any way to petition for a change from "zero"
level to an "acceptable" level?

Let me just start out with the disclaimer that I am totally against
drugging a horse
before any competition for the purposes of performance enhancement or
injury hiding. 
<snip>
As I said, I'm not for drugging horses to mask pain or injury. If my horse
is in trouble, I want to know and take care of it. Please don't flame me as
a thoughtless horse owner. I just think that with the long withdrawal times
for some substances, the individual ifferences among hoses and the
inumerable number of drugs available for which withdrawal times are
unknown,  that the policy may need some adjustments.Perhaps some acceptable
(nonperformance  influence)  levels instead of zero tolerance.
