Look, I couldn't care less how successful someone is in or outside this business. I don't care who paid the bills, him, his wife, a bookkeeper, whatever. Call it what you want, causation, responsibility, accountability, I couldn't care less. You or someone under/within your purview ordered it. That's you. Your monies paid for it. That's you. I don't know if he received it, and I do think that's a very important issue-----and, no, if he didn't, that does not mean he's not culpable, because IMO he still is. You had awareness and knowledge. That's you. Your trainers got it, somehow, and used it. That's you as well.
I didn't see texts or recorded conversations like they had with Navarro and Servis, but in this case it's owner, not a trainer. Owner responsibility and accountability is long overdue. I've long had concerns about punishing owners because of the trainer they select, but this I have zero concerns with. I also think other names on those lists are not simply skating away from this. Maybe today. Not forever though.
