And I still fail to see a reason why banning Lasix would do anything positive. Hell we banned steroids, nothing changed except field size is down. We banned toe grabs with absolutely no positive effect. We tried artificial surfaces with negative results.

Lasix is a false villain.

Well Dr. Gorman thought it could be used to mask things back then. I'm sure two decades later he has changed his mind.

Do we have to go through the list of technological advances since then? I was on a medication committee that met with the KHRA over proposals for updating medication rules a few years ago. One of the chemists on the panel said with absolute certainty that no diuretic (specifically Salix) can prevent detection of known substances at the levels that they can now test at. Of course he was bragging but the explanation was part of an idea that we needed to update the thresholds of allowable medications because the rules were holdovers from a different era of testing. Naturally there was no funding to do the research.

Take a look at the pdf file of the April vet bill. Almost $1,500 , mostly for injections is cause for concern ? Or not ?

The link is within the NYT article itself. About 19 injections for just 3 weeks.
