For god's sakes, stop this baloney and just go and effing ASK THEM. Everyone knows it. It's not illegal. Vets know it, trainers know it, the stewards know it, it's entirely permitted.

Thanks for such a verifiable, scientific answer. Go figure.

With your reappearance, I guess the couple of pages of civilized discourse have abruptly come to an end.

Get ready for hyperlinks, misinformation, half-truths, and psychobabble to the VO2 max.

Watching you talk about lasix is like watching a plumber who thinks his association with water enables himself to discourse about quantum mechanics.

You think mentioning VO2max is "psychobabble"? Shows your complete ignorance of the subject at hand. You don't have a clue what first year veterinary students know about the subject: when you can discourse on acid base balances, the Loop of Henle, electrolyte gradients, metabolic acidosis and respiratory alkalosis, call me. Because that's exactly what this conversation regarding lasix and milkshakes is about.

You are making assertions, Rollo. Yes - you want to talk like you know medicine, you're going to have to step up your game and walk the walk. Half-baked, taken-out-of context assertions. I don't blame you, you're just copying what someone has told you. It's what has been passed on by some in this sport. Not the veterinary world in this sport, of course. Not the scientific community regarding lasix, of course. But lay people with an agenda. Old men who breed horses and run horses and don't want their world to be taken over by politicians they own.

The veterinary world disagrees completely with their half-baked assertions. You side with the old men versus the veterinary and scientific world, about matters veterinary and scientific. Strange. That's to the detriment of the horse, however. I don't care to see people and their half-assed ideas and google drug knowledge harm race horses.

Old rich businessmen who own race horses sure as hell are not qualified to treat my child's meningitis, and they sure as hell are not qualified to pontificate on veterinary medicine.
