I am sure many of the Shugden lamas are still practicing. The genuine lamas. I don't doubt it at all! There are those who may give up the practice out of mundane reasons - to curry favour with HH Dalai Lama, to appease the Dalai Lama's clique etc, in which case, we know what their Dharma practice is like. For the great teachers, like Lama Zopa, who may outwardly have given up, i doubt that their guru devotion would be so easily swayed. Time will tell. And the time is coming soon!
