A vet said it, not me.

Drug em all, Riot, that is the ticket.

Thousands of other vets say his opinion is a minority, and his views border on "crankdom".

Join those of us worrying about real drug problems in racing.

Stop chasing laser beams pointed to the wall by a few ignorant fools.

Thousands of other vets aren't being published in the New York Times. Funny, you say I should listen to vets, until they say something you don't like.

Drug them all. That has really helped the sport. The game couldn't be in better shape.

No. They are being published where their wealth of skill and knowledge about lasix matters, in research journals, pharmacology textbooks, clinical medicine applications.

Some crank wrote an opinion letter to the NYT. You're falling for it. Good luck.

You calling lasix, "drug them all" simply reveals that you remain completely ignorant about furosemide and it's long and successful in horses (and dogs, cats, people, tigers, bears, primates, etc)

It is a drug, right?

Dogs, cats, people, tigers, bears, and primates and even etc. aren't being given Lasix to race while people bet millions of dollars on them. In this case, we even found out California lies to us about which horses actually get Lasix and which don't. That will go a long way to establishing trust with bettors.

Drug them all.

No. They are being given lasix most usually to save their lives.

That knowledge and understanding separates those that are licensed to use and dispense legend drugs - doctors, pharmacists, veterinarians, etc. - and the guy at the end of the bar stool expounding upon how much he knows about lasix because he read a NYT opinion piece that confirmed what he's determined to think.

So completely irrelevant to the subject at hand, at least we agree on that.
