US Anti-Doping Agency

The US anti-doping agency, which oversee's the Olympics, has now entered the racing picture. One significant piece of information in this article was during the period of 2005-2011 the total number of licensed trainers was 12,801. Of that number, approximately 12,600 of these trainer's went without medication violations.
Dinny Phipp's who presented this slide show to the audience said this......... “98.5 percent or approximately 12,600 trainers without a medication violation were, in essence, allowing 1.5 percent of the population to shape 100 percent of the public perception of the sport,” a sentiment that drew a smattering of appreciative nods throughout the crowd.
“Is anyone satisfied with this scenario?” Phipps said after the last slide was displayed. “Should we be satisfied with medication rules that arguably protect about 1 percent of the trainer population, the 1 percent that repeatedly demonstrates utter disregard of the rules?”...........
