![]() I think they are "anti-drug", and I am, too - but they've fixated on lasix, which is ridiculous.

Where have all these industry leaders been? The same people who are acting indignant about medication are the ones that have driven this ship to the brink of disaster. They complain about medication yet so many use trainers that use the vet the most and in some cases are serial violators. Do as I say, not as I do. |

![]() the industry wants to appear serious about stopping doping, about getting rid of performance enhancers-get rid of the guys who constantly get suspended! take their licenses away, for good. dutrow, asmussen, mullins, biancone-serial offenders. the assman gets six months, while another jurisdiction considers that length or more for other positives. one owner subsequently gives him not one, but two future HOY's to train. another owner becomes his lawyer in appeals on other possible suspensions. it's a pathetic joke. lasix isn't the issue-it's many times over cheaters. it's turning a blind eye to real issues while attacking one that isn't. lasix isn't the issue. designer drugs , cheating trainers , cheating owners are all legitimate issues that they don't want to deal with. why?

![]() As a guy who leans right of center (on the politics/society board), I disagree with the assertion that right leaning means against lasix or vice versa.
I would think the opposite - that the trainers have good reasons for using medication like lasix or they wouldn't go through the time, trouble and expense. |
