It is a drug, right?

Dogs, cats, people, tigers, bears, and primates and even etc. aren't being given Lasix to race while people bet millions of dollars on them. In this case, we even found out California lies to us about which horses actually get Lasix and which don't. That will go a long way to establishing trust with bettors.

Drug them all.

No. They are being given lasix most usually to save their lives.

That knowledge and understanding separates those that are licensed to use and dispense legend drugs - doctors, pharmacists, veterinarians, etc. - and the guy at the end of the bar stool expounding upon how much he knows about lasix because he read a NYT opinion piece that confirmed what he's determined to think.
