IMO steroid abuse was way more detrimental to horses than Lasix could ever be yet since they were completely banned the numerical trends havent changed a bit or worsened.

Dehydration in racehorses is not a major issue to deal with, especially when you only have to run 6 times a year.

Would love to read your response to Pat's reply. Apparently Pat is well versed in worldwide medications laws.
