I don't really follow stuff like this so it was news to me - I just thought that I remembered that he had volunteered or had accepted a position on the Jockey's Club task force or whatever it was that started trumpeting the exclusion of race day meds including Lasix.
I found it odd that a trainer would hold such a strong opinion against Lasix when a ban of its use would eliminate a huge portion of the racing stock that he relies on to keep his racing operation running - and can certainly see why owners that would potentially be stuck with race horses that will never race as a result, might not be particularly thrilled with his enthusiasm.
