As I posted before--you do not need it. It is a strict liability rule. You test positive and thus violated the rule no matter how it got there, It matters not if she did it knowingly--this is not a "intent" based rule/law.
And btw, clen is not used in the US on people and it has to clear a horse's system before it races--so how in the world would it just so happen to end up in her urine and above the acceptable levels.
"Knowingly" is completely irrelevant here with respect to her guilt. The best she could have done, if she chose to continue with the appeal, is try to lower her fine/suspension somehow.
It is a strict liability rule. Who the heck cares how a substance that is not to be used on horses and the racing commission does not allow in horses on race day, got into her urine.
Yeah, I know, she was a at restaurant which was set up by a rival; there she ate pork which they spiked; touched the door handle when she went to the bathroom which was laced with clen and while away from the table, the waiter switched her water bottles. Got it.
