Since the "honest" and "dishonest" harness trainers are being singled out.  Why not list the all the drug positives found in the last 10 years?

So - 

Name
Offence
Drug Identified
Penalty

Afterall according to Newmarket and Galah it is rife so the list will be very long won't it?

I don't have an issue with your topic,just the reference to me stating i have said something i have not. In fact i have said the complete opposite. I have posted just that this week. 

 In my opinion you do so because the merit in your argument is weak as relates to this topic. So you make things about personalities instead.

but yes it does seem disrespecting (not that he has come close to earning the respect of many) the grim is likely to roughly double the punishment

speaks volumes about grim

Other than the TCO2 I haven't found ONE case where a performance enhancing substance has been administered deliberately.

Even with the TCO2 cases they were within 10% of the threshold!  Yep doping is rife in the industry!

Important to note that some of those appearing in the "Honest" list are also on this list.  Unlike some it sometimes pays to look at each cases on a case by case basis.

Not the first time either Noodles !  For an Interdominion FINAL in NZ.

back in your day (Noodlum winning in the early 70's ) Newmarket wants 30 years (here's 50 years for him)

1971 Juniors Image (full of Caffiene at Addington in the final , burst clear 600m out and held on to win)

DISQUALIFIED 5 days later , and Phil Coulson (a WA hall of famer with 1000 wins given 7 years DQ , a massive record penalty at the time.

quite some time ago i formed the opinion that these people getting caught were only trying to keep up and barely succeeding at that

Well spell it out.  "WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME?"

Look at the list - there is SFA of anything!  No evidence of widespread "cheating"!
