Since 1999, EVERY American horse in our best race has been injected with a drug to race. Not 93%, but 100%. We are talking around 130 horse and EVERY one was given Lasix. Sure, it isn't abused.

Your assumption is mere use = abuse.
My viewpoint - based upon the science - is that use = therapy good for the horse.
Who cares what was done 10 years ago? 100 years ago? What matters is what we know now,
today, about the horse's health.
And those that know race horse health best, the veterinary world, based upon today's medical knowledge and research, are advising the racing world to allow one drug - lasix - to be used on race day as a therapeutic medication for the health and welfare of the race horse.
