Once the study results are widely circulated, the authors anticipate that some racing jurisdictions may reconsider their ban on the use of furosemide.

“It is likely that racing jurisdictions will reconsider, in one way or another, their position on the use of furosemide,” they said in a statement. “However, the decision to allow or disallow the use is based on the balance of a number of factors, and resolution of this complex situation will take some time.

“The challenge will now be for countries such as England, Hong Kong, Australia and South Africa that do not currently permit race-day use of furosemide. The challenge that they will face is balancing the animal-welfare aspect of being able to prevent or reduce the condition against the imperatives for drug-free racing. Additionally, instituting race-day administration of furosemide would be a significant added expense to racing.”
