There has been at least one study posted on this site that say it does, yes. I'm sure you can find it.
I already said I can't prove it because the public isn't given that information. We don't know if horses that raced without Lasix are then given it because they bled or not.
It is a very complicated thing to study and somebody would have to be well versed in measuring racehorse speed and determining if horses bled and how much. It could be done, but I don't think either pro or anti Lasix people really know how to do it to be honest.
All I can say is I trust what I believe because I put money through the windows on those opinions. It works. I wish Lasix wasn't given as commonly now as it is because there aren't many opportunities, save foreign shippers and a few trainers that don't use it early in a horse's career.
