Furosemide/Lasix?
14 years 3 months ago
I am sure we have had a few threads on this subject, plus the tests? not sure the outcome, but read this in Racing Post
Turf Club turfs out Torrens’ biggest win
TRAINER Mervyn Torrens on Monday lost the biggest win of his career after the Turf Club disqualified Hughies Grey due to a prohibited substance found in his system after victory in Navan's Grade 2 Webster Cup in March.
A sample taken from the seven-year-old tested positive for anti-bleeding drug Furosemide, also known as Lasix, and the matter was referred to the Turf Club, where a hearing on Monday awarded the race to second-placed See U Bob and stripped Hughies Grey of his win.
Torrens was fined €1,500 for administering the drug, €300 for not keeping up his medicine register to the required standard and was also ordered to pay €300 costs to the Turf Club.
