Yes, but the problem is Lasix is on USADA's list of banned substances. If you could get a carve-out for Lasix (or phase it out over 5 or 10 years) then you'd be able to call the bluff of trainers who use Lasix as a reason to fight the legislation.
Thing is, I doubt that USADA has a test for "monkey", and I wonder if we'd be better off with the "on-track pharmacy" requirement combined with real security and spot-inspections.
