The person being fined is who is responsible for paying, is who is responsible for the entire issue, is the only person that can appeal or accept.
As far as being reimbursed that is another question as some owners might not want the trainer to be burdened. Would be a foolish thing to do ie reimburse in today's day and age when positives, illegal drugs have lead to more than just fines and regulatory - but investigations, indictments and jail terms.
He's a very high % win, itm trainer, maybe it's contamination or NOT LOL!
The purse is considered ill gotten gains it comes back from everyone it was distributed to.
