I\'d feel a little more enthusiastic about it if the same thing was being quoted from multiple congressmen. But this is at least the blueprint for how the Sport of Kings is to be cleaned up and directs to the door the Johnny Come Lately trainers. Threaten the water from their revenue stream and they will do the right thing and clean themselves up:

\"The federal government may intervene if states fail to adopt uniform medication rules for horse racing, said Rep. Ed Whitfield of Kentucky during a House committee hearing examining drug use in sports on Wednesday in Washington, D.C.

During his questioning of Alex Waldrop, the president of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, Whitfield said the government could require uniform medication rules, including regulations regarding the use of anabolic steroids, as a condition of allowing tracks to continue simulcasting across state lines.\"
