New Bill Rhoden piece; Davidowitz Letter Response..

[Rudeboyelvis]

Any rational human has to know that nothing less than an end to legalized drugs for racing purposes will save the sport for the future. Analgesic drugs like phenylbutazone (bute) and powerful diuretics like furosemide (Lasix) may be beneficial as part of a curative medical regimen. But they do not belong in the competitive arena.

Actually any rational human probably sees the inherent differences between the two and cannot understand why the two are combined in the same breath so frequently by anti drug police. Perhaps their PETA memberships require it.

Want to see breakdowns? Watch what happens when horses suffocate on their own blood in mid stretch - How many Jockey funerals is Mr. Davidowitz committing to attend during his "experiment"?

The use of bute as a raceday med is a completely different discussion altogether, and certainly one worthy of investigation, but combining the two as one is ludicrous
