AMac’s speculation is the same one that I get every time that I see a horse test for something over the prescribed limit.  I’ve seen enough animals injected into a vein where there is some difficulty involved.  The 1,000 lb + horse flinches or worse at the wrong split second, and you don’t know where the substance goes with 100% confidence.

Now testing + for a prohibited substance or a suspected masking agent…a much more serious issue.

For AMac, the recent + tests are a compounded problem as he is forced to explain to hundreds of clients in a public forum no less.
