Here is another. The Mavericks owner was against the Thunder being allowed to move from Seattle. Should he have forfeited all games against them to prove his point? I'm sure the team's fans would have loved that in the Western Conference finals a few years ago.
but not everyone thinks that lasix use gives a competitive advantage. besides, if one didn't use it, and won, wouldn't that prove quite a point? i'm sure it's happened. you telling me that horses without lasix generally finish in the rear? i doubt it.
and no, the latter analogy you gave means nothing. that wasn't a rule change, it was a team move. it didn't put a team at any advantage or disadvantage.
if barry irwin wanted to prove a point, the best way to do it is to take his horses off it, and show it's not needed. than it's not his opinion at all. it would show he's serious, and that he's right. right now, it just shows he uses something that he says he shouldn't.
