Our very presence over there was supposed to be such a
positive influence in helping them learn "ethics", "morals" and
"fairness"......ie., the camel jockey debate.... We Americans
- the shining example they could learn from.
Must not have worked this time.
We'll just have to keep going back over and over until "they" get it....or maybe
they just don't want to learn....ya think?
That kind of money can buy a lot of
things...decisions, vets, officials,
outcomes, etc... This time there was a
convenient little slip-up in procedure. What will it be next
time? We all know there will be a next time because that whole
attitude is about "them" winning. Everything else be
damned. More sophisticated drugs that won't test, or just "buying"
the test results. They have already shown the world what they think
of human children. I can't imagine there is any more regard for a
horse or the concept of "sportmanship".

Lets see if I have this
correct. Both labs tested the urine positive for the same compound. Both
were reputable labs - but somehow they threw out the results and let the
ride results stand. Either you have a drug policy or you don't. Sounds like
the FEI has no drug policy. Or it may be the golden rule - he who pays the
bills makes the rules.
I wonder if a US rider had won and tested positive
(twice) for the same compound they would have been afforded the same
treatment?
