Lasix enhances performance

Why don't you go off and try to find out why the measurable TCO2 level of a horse on lasix (be it standing in a stall, running on a treadmill, running in a race, or in an intensive care unit at an equine hospital with acid/base disturbances) is between certain very well-known and predictable values, and the TCO2 of horses that have received illegal milkshakes or other alkalynizing agents is something else entirely?

Maybe check the NYT opinion page.
