"The N.Z stipes cleared Justice of administering it meaning they believe someone else has probably by mistake passed it on..."
How ridiculous the stupid rules the stupid illogical result. "They believe Lance didnt do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
They believe someone else has probably by mistake passed it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But Lance and Smoken get punished. How stupid.
Where is the NZ Stewards and/or Track Officials running that events responsibility in protecting the Owners horses from being nobbled?

Barny, what do you think of that question? Can you actually give an opinion on the question or will you just rant "drug cheat, guilty ra ra ra..."?
i would seriously like your opinion on that especially when you consider 2 massive points...
1. Last night at the Victoria Cup when Smoken Up won yet another Group 1, ALL horses (in the cup) had their own security guard watching for illegal goings on. why didnt NZ do this for the ID of all races in Australasia for gods sake??????????? Where was the protection for potential nefarious shananigans in NZ?
2. At the NZ Cup the horses weren't even protected on the track, a pissed female streaker ran right onto the track and could have done anything, great security kiwis! Thus proving anyone can even approach horses on the track, so off the track would be very easy, and unlike Melton, NZ provides no protection.
This is where i feel this case will somehow go to a higher court above the "protected" narrow mindedness of kiwi stewards rules.
If i was Lance, based on the stewards ruling, i would sue them for negligence based on not protecting his horse.
