NYT: Drugs & I Want Revenge

I didn't realize I couldn't have an opinion on lasix if I wasn't a trainer. I missed that memo....Fact is I'd rather not have it like a good portion of the world. That's it.

Ive always wondered why a majority of Euro's use Lasix when they come and run in the states. If all is fine in well and the horses that race in Europe and abroad dont use Lasix to run on when they are at home why do they use it here? Hmm maybe because the horses do bleed there , maybe not gushing out their noses always , but when scoped after a race they show that they have bled.
Just a little FYI , trainers in Europe and abroad do use Lasix for workouts , maybe not with every horses every time but they do use it .

Hey believe whatever you want. Want to believe Lasix masks things and creates genetic mutants, knock yourself out.

And I still fail to see a reason why banning Lasix would do anything positive. Hell we banned steroids, nothing changed except field size is down. We banned toe grabs with absolutely no positive effect. We tried artificial surfaces with negative results.

Lasix is a false villain.

Well Dr. Gorman thought it could be used to mask things back then. I'm sure two decades later he has changed his mind.
