What I don't get is the call for the ban on a lasix. As I understand it, there is no scientific evidence that it enhances performance. It does allow horses that bleed to race. If you take that away, it seems to me that you either get horses who are raced that bleed which is ultimately ignoring the horses medical needs and possibly cruel or less horses in competition which creates more unwanted horses which enhances another problem and makes ownership less attractive if horses are not racing as often.
How is it that a drug that helps the medical needs of a horse is such a bad thing that it needs to be banned?
