I don't think the logistics are the issue though there would seem to be a certain double standard in allowing you to bet on some races with Lasix and other without. Again it seem naive on the part of the BC and opponents of Lasix in general to act like this is some huge performance enhancer 25 years after it has been introduced and NOT seem to the vaunted general public like they haven't been duped for those years. It seems to me that racing loses a lot more credibility to its customers (I really still could care less what the rest of the world supposedly thinks) with the criticism of horseman and exaggeration as to what Lasix is and does.
