It's inconceivable to me that the vets and trainers who abuse the system should get off scott free. Put their photos and names in the local newspapers, pull their licenses, and see what effect that has on other potential violators. A little hanging in the public square might be just what this industry needs!
I agree totally.
Michael, to piggy-back LSB's agreement, I would like to add that not only do I agree, I offer another very good reason for full disclosure. Full disclosure would actually help protect the system from itself. I would have to include that the punishment be disclosed as well. This would pretty much elimate preferential treatment and back-door deal making. I think you will find that what irks many is not the penalty, but rather the way the penalties are arbitrarily decided (along with who is "actually" guilty).
KAL--agree 100%. It's the INCONSISTENCY of penalties that really send people into orbit--and with good reason. Here's an example of a recent CHRB decision (I will withhold the names to protect the guilty):
Trainer "A" and Trainer "B" both have horses test positive for (now get this) "Methamphetamine," a Class 1 drug. Completely and totally illegal. Trainer "A" receives a 365 day suspension; Trainer "B" receives a $1,000 fine.
These actions by the CHRB received no publicity in any press, as far as I know. Who can blame them for not wanting to publicize their folly?

It never ceases to amaze me when people call for someone to be punished for making remarks that they may not agree with. I suggest doing a google search for U.S. Constitution and check out the first amendment listed.
I am not directing this to anyone. I work in a PC environment and think a fitting bumper sticker would be:
