Woops. Has been DQ'd. Tom Proctor trains:

Too bad....Tom is a good trainer and plays fair. He's in the business a long time with very few positive's, if any other then this. I do wish they would get off their butts and get this uniform drug and penalty rules rolling. TJ

I agree. I really like Proctor, so this was a bit disappointing to see. He is not appealing it.
How long is that drug in their system?

Hi Cree,
I'd be willing to guess the WD times which still are not totally uniform, had something to do with it? According to the RMTC uniform rules, Methylprednisolone (depo) can stay in the system up to 7 days administered IM. Intra-articular up to 21 days, possibly longer? TJ
