He waits four years before he seeks redress? hmmmm

Waited to file til the last minute, that's not a crime.

What did he expect? He blows the whistle on his fellow employees and then is upset that they are little hostile toward him.

It appears that it would be nice if the employees get their day in court before he get he gets his.

From the article;

>>He claimed, in an interview, that he has the documentation to prove that Fermin and Shapiro misused the testing system for Total Carbon Dioxide (TCO2), known as "green sheets," to target individual trainers for prosecution. They also used insider information to warn favored trainers of upcoming tests for particular medications, he charged, and circumvented state hiring practices to employ trainer Darrell Vienna as a board consultant and Dr. Rick Arthur as the CHRB's equine medical director.<<

and..

>>Atashkar, whose complaints with the SPB and others were turned down, said he "cannot work due to my illness." He's broke, he said, and as a result filed his court action in pro per. He said the attorneys he spoke to were unwilling to take the case on contingency.

"It doesn't matter if I have a lawyer," he said. "I just want someone to hear me."<<
