I’m sure this story is important to a lot of people in the horse industry, but there’s one thing that really annoys me about it. From the CJ (of course):

A federal horse racing agency alleged it received falsified test results related to a potential banned substance from a University of Kentucky lab. That was just the beginning of the lab’s issues.

Now, more than 18 months after the allegation, the University of Kentucky terminated the former director of the equine testing lab.

The University of Kentucky announced Sept. 11 it terminated former Equine Analytical Chemistry Lab (EACL) Director Dr. Scott Stanley, a tenured faculty member following “a serious breach of ethics and policy violations related to misconduct and mismanagement” of the institution’s former lab, according to a press release.

They didn’t terminate the director. He’s not dead. They didn’t kill him. Arnold Schwarzenegger in the photo above did not arrive naked in the middle of the street to track him down and end him.

He was fired. If you click on the link to the University of Kentucky announcement in the above excerpt from the story, you’ll see this:

The University of Kentucky has terminated the employment of a tenured faculty member following a serious breach of ethics and policy violations related to misconduct and mismanagement of the institution’s former Equine Analytical Chemistry Lab (EACL), which provided drug testing for the equine industry.

See! The university knows how to write a basic sentence. It terminated the guy’s employment. That means something completely different.

If the CJ can’t get basic grammar right, how are we supposed to take it seriously on anything it releases?
