Yes. There are much bigger problems than eliminating lasix. Unfortunately the hypocrites that have made lasix a false straw man for all of racing's perceived "problems" - move up performances, declining Beyers, inability to make money in the sport, smaller fields, falling purses, the sport failing and falling from the public eye.

The hypocrites are those blaming lasix for all of that, and thinking that eliminating lasix will change any of those things. Eliminating lasix will only harm the horses.
