Whatever some people are using seems to prevent horses from racing competitively on short rest. The recovery period seems to be substantial.

The same folks who get accused of juicing all use sheets in their management.
I also think that if people realized that things like lubrisyn, adequan, legend, and gastrogard have been available a long time, but used by relatively few up until recently, they'd understand a lot about why certain guys accused of juicing(who everyone ties to the same vet) were actually using legal, cutting edge vet techniques and sports medicine long before everyone else picked up on it.
Juicing? yeah it goes on, and goes on a lot in my opinion. But a lotta folks don't understand everything that hoes on behind the scenes, and what they don't understand, they lable juice.
As much as you think bounce is thrown around, I think juice is thrown around 100 times more often in situations that don't apply.
