Um, what is the status of this case, according to your source Lucy? Now in Semisweet's story it says quote:
When Super Hit was examined by a vet to verify his presale physical condition, the vet found that Super Hit was Super High on a positively Limbaughesque cocktail of painkillers. The vet testified, "In my 38 years of practice, I have never come across a drug screen such as this where the horse has been administered so many different medications at the same time." The jilted Super Hit buyer alleges that the painkillers were administered by Team Romney in an attempt to disguise the horse's bum foot, which made it impossible for the horse to perform feats necessary for dressage. Unleash the lawyers! In Lucy's story, it says quote:
Before writing a check, Norris sought a standard prepurchase exam. The Ebelings recommended a veterinarian they knew, Dr. Doug Herthel, who identified the joint abnormality on an X-ray. He informed Norris of it but assured her it would not bar him from the upper-level show ring. But Herthel apparently did not mention that a toxicology test reported four tranquilizers in Super Hit’s blood at the time of the exam. His records showed that he injected two of the drugs — to steady Super Hit during X-rays, he testified — but there was no documentation of the other two tranquilizers. Herthel sent an email to Amy Ebeling asking if the horse had been sedated before the exam; she replied that he had not. How the additional tranquilizers got into the animal was never fully established. A lawyer for Herthel, Steve Schwartz, said the drug laboratory’s tests were not definitive. So if we believe semisweets story, the horse was higher than Method Man, but if we believe Lucy's story, the horse had two, not a Limbaughesque cocktail of pain killers. So nobody knows what really happened, and this story is just more shit slinging. Either way it doesn't matter, the case was dismissed. I rest my case... (pun intended)
