Yeah.. That must be why they wait until halftime to shoot them up in the NFL.

Every player gets shot up Steve? You know better than that. I should change that to about 99% to keep it equal with horses. Do you think 99% of NFL players get shot up on game day?

i would put money that 99% of the guys who play significant minutes do.

But the punter, kicker and they guys who are not active that day probably do not take some sort of painkiller.

You would be wrong. It isn't even remotely close to that number. Treatment, sure, but injections, no way.

you can bet your ass if they all had the potential of hemorraging during a game they'd get a shot!

no doubt. i also forgot we were debating the semantics between getting a pain killer injections or just swallowing a pill.. which apparently is much better than getting an injection!

The number taking pills before a game also isn't remotely close to 99%. What difference does it make anyway? You are talking about a rough, physical contact sport, not running.

It has already been stated in this thread that nasal strips are just as effective as Lasix, yet those so in favor of Lasix offer no real reason why it is better to use the drug.

We all know the reason...it enhances performance for bleeders and non-bleeders alike. Some just don't want to admit it.

Except in post 273, but please - do continue trying very hard not to learn anything about EIPH and how lasix works, especially if it conflicts with your long-held assumptions. You simply choose to ignore what you don't care to hear.
