Wow Ive been in horse racing for over 20 years and have never heard of that happening, pennicillian yes but never Lasix.
Most race horses bleed , so you would rather have them suffer thru the trauma of bleeding than get Lasix?
Just because in some places like Europe they cant use Lasix for the races doesnt mean horses dont bleed, ask any vet , they will tell you its not a matter of "if they bleed" its a matter of when.
