And the FEI is twice as tough on testing and drugs as horse racing could ever dream of being. The Olympics has a long list of competition-day allowable drugs, and levels, that athletes can use. Includes albuterol and other "lung" (asthma) drugs. We need to ban illegal performance enhancers. Not helpful therapeutics.

![]() Certainly looks like furosemide's days are numbered. Hope it works! We all know what this is about. The industry has to drastically reduce the number of catastrophic breakdowns. We can't have Mrs. Alvarado (the NM woman in the NY Times article) bringing her family to the track only to see animals being euthanized. When people go to the track they expect to see a horse race, not a slaughterhouse. If one in five hundred NFL football players died every player start we'd have two players killed every fall weekend. How would that go over? one in five hundred is not an accident; one in five hundred is a bloodsport.
