If you want to take something negative out of the "study" consider that 45% of the horses scoped showed some signs of EIPH with or without lasix.
And I'm just saying if it is the best we have, it might not be worth having.

While I'm sure Lasix is far from the only reason the sport is in constant decline, I do think it is a reason. And a lot smarter people than me think so too.
