An Office Space AND Weekend at Bernie's reference in the same paragraph?

'A generation ago, administering it could flush illegal substances out of a horse’s system and make them undetectable in post-race tests. Now, though, more precise testing and a greater reliance on plasma than urine has made that argument moot.'

'Banning furosemide will have no positive impact with civilians, who barely know what it is, and who will hardly be reassured or attracted to the game once it has been explained to them that racing has banned a medication that is used to keep horses from hemorrhaging during a race.'

Where are all those massive changes to the sport promised by banning steroids? You know, another drug that, used correctly, helped many horses, but was abused by only a few trainers, so everyone had to stop using them?

We've seen those sudden massive differences in win percentages of certain trainers, right?

And the general public that doesn't give a darn about horse racing now thinks much more positively about the sport?
