Haskin: History of Drugs in American Racing

[Indian Charlie]

I found this part amusing Riot:

"As the use of Bute and Lasix became more prominent, statistical reports regarding size of fields, breakdowns, and form reversals increased, but proved inconclusive. Three major reports by the Veterinary-Chemist Advisory Committee to the racing organization NASRC (National Association of State Racing Commissioners) and the California and Colorado racing boards all came to the conclusion that a controlled medication program does not affect the normal breakdown rate of horses. In 1976, the California board received the approval of the American Humane Society."

So, the foxes watching the henhouse don't blame themselves for the recent rash of hen disappearances, that started when the foxes started watching the hens?

That's awesome! Surely it was something in the air that makes the hens disappear!

Oh, maybe it was some mystery germ in the grass!!!

Let's just dismiss the obvious evidence that implicates us foxes and then pretend that we have no idea. Surely our ever faithful believers/followers will come to blindly defending us!

That, simply put, was a biased article and was written with the intent of 'proving' that drugs are good for horses.

Another funny part! When Steve makes it so that drug use today is ok, cause in the past, they used to use much worse drugs!

Brilliant!!
