Training points and selling players

If you decide to list a player in the auctions and that player has unallocated training points, does the player retain the training points for the new owner?

I understand that this may seem like a rather silly thing to do, but there is a reason for doing so (i.e. one guild member listing a player in an auction for another guild member to bid on and buy).
going on an earlier post here where someone (possibly blackmonk) mentioned buying a player and finding an absurd amount of training points attached to them, yes they do
In the past that happened but I have been told, have not tested it personally, that it is no longer the case. I don't know what the truth is today.
The training points get discarded, truthfully
Thanks guys
