Binocular Out - Henderson PR Disaster

Gutted by the news breaking this morning that Binocular will miss the Champion Hurdle next week. It is also yet another major PR disaster for the Henderson stable that of course has had the Moonlit Path banned substance disgrace of 2009 back in the news this year with the inquiry leading to vet James Main being struck off.
It has come to light today that last year's Champion had been treated for an allergy two weeks ago and subsequently tested positive for a banned substance. Henderson then followed BHA advice to withdraw the horse from the Festival when advised by the BHA that the horse would test positive come race day. In a statement Henderson said 'He had an allergy two weeks ago that did not respond to initial medication and, on veterinary advice and well within normal parameters, he required a further treatment the following day. As we were getting close to the most important race of the year, and also because since that administration to Binocular, another horse had tested positive for the same substance, I thought it prudent to take a precautionary test which not only surprisingly, let alone devastatingly, has also shown to be positive.'
The big question for me is why the racing public were not informed that one of the major players of the biggest jumps meet of the year had suffered an allergy, undergone treatment, not responded to the initial medication and received further treatment the following day and that there may have been a problem?
In this weeks 'Weekender' (9th March) Henderson says of Binocular in his 'Straight From The Stable' interview 'He is being prepared for one day only - Tuesday - and I couldn't be happier with him..... He is in very good order and will take some beating again.' Really Nicky?
Yes I was on ante-post but my money was down with Stan Jame and as such has been refunded so this is not a punter talking from his pocket. The question though is how many punters have had a bet in the last fortnight oblivious to this development, maybe even on the back of the quotes above published only four days ago?
