My question to Maggie and Amoss would be this. Why not just use oats and hay and water? You won't ever have to worry about going over on ANY med if you don't use them.
Another question is about Indiana hiding information from the public about drug overages, isnt that breaking some kind of law?

Obviously because these drugs have proven positive effects, even in legal doses. Not using them when you're in a competition would be foolish. It'd be like if you and someone else had an infection. We do an experiment to see who gets better first, but the other person gets the proper antibiotic, in the proper dose, and you don't. Now, you'll probably get better, if you have a healthy immune system, but there's a very high probability the other person would recover first. That'd be the situation someone who gave absolutely no medications to their horse might be in competing against someone who did.
