Kentucky Derby Winner Medina Spirit Fails Drug Test
The Kentucky Derby winner, Medina Spirit, failed a postrace drug test, once more putting the practices of his Hall of Fame trainer, Bob Baffert, the embattled sport’s most recognizable personality, under uncomfortable scrutiny.
If disqualified, Medina Spirit would be stripped of the Derby title and the winning purse, becoming only the third horse in the 147-year history of the race to receive the penalty after finishing first.

Doesn't seem fair to penalize the horse. He didn't know he was being given steroids.

I think a fair compromise would be to kick Toronto out of the original six.

If the league had any integrity that would have happened long ago. I've given up. The Leafs must be holding something over Betman's head.
