As a general comment, maybe John Celii, the owner of Badlands Hanover, and yourself should get together via e-mail & have a chat some time. He was & he no doubt still is very much into that subject. His was moreso coming at it from the standpoint of potential sires/siring careers & if I recall it correctly, at the time the Monte Gelrod/Bill Robinson show was running rampant which didn't help John's general demeanour when this sort of thing was raised...but it would be worth your while.
Can of worms??? How so? Owners have the power to send a message to trainers using illegal methods,and are caught doing so. By no means am I telling someone what to do with their horse/s, but if everyone is on the same page ie. level playing field, then we must listen to our conscience. Or is it just too high a price to pay, and we are better off just bitching about it on some forum?
