And as David would say - the number one reason to shine the spot light 
on the FEI is the FEI had a double positive for a performance enhancing 
drug on the WEC winner and chose to ignore it saying, we may investigate 
it in the future but we are not really all that serious about 
eliminating performance enhancing drugs from international endurance.

No Steph it doesn't what - drugs don't belong in any sport at any level. 
Drugs don't belong in endurance at any level. There is no defense for an 
organization that looks the other way (with two positive test none the 
less) to the use of steriods of any ( to be percise so I can't be 
confused with not having my facts right Metylprednisolone ) kind in this 
sport.

BTW just for grins I have asked a good friend who has just been promoted 
to professor of pharmacology and vice dean of the pharmacology at a 
major medical school to give me a run down on this particular drug and 
it's effects. I'll keep you posted.

No durgs - no way - no how. Riding the snot out of drugged horses is not 
endurance - it is criminal
