Football Horse Cocaine and the Blue tent - Page 2

Serious question: what happens in the blue tent?

Can they inject the injury with horse cocaine?

We all lit a prayer candle when Mahomes hobbled up after the TD lob to Perine.

Even the look on his face had me thinking it was super bad.

He goes into the tent, one TB three-and out later our man is back in and then serves up a 70-yard TD drive.

Can they do "treatment" in the tent? Andy in his presser said "I don't go into the tent, I learned my lesson" or something like that.

What gives? Or is it just Mahomes naturally produces Horse Cocaine in his blood cells and it activates in these types of instances.

also bonus question: Hardman hit that too?

Yes, which can cause horses to lose 20-30 pounds if given before a race. It also protects the horse from the damage it does to it's heart when over-exerting itself. Thanks to this thread I went all down this dark road.

Lasix (furosemide) is a medication routinely used to prevent lung bleeding in horses with exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH).

This bleeding disorder is prevalent in racehorses following bouts of high-intensity exercise. Veterinarians often recommend treating with Lasix on race days to minimize the risk of bleeding, with a reported 74.2% of racehorses in North America using the drug. [28]

Horses on Lasix have faster race times and earn more money over their career than horses not on the drug. [28] However, controversy surrounds the widespread use of Lasix in the racing industry.

While research shows that furosemide is an effective treatment for “bleeders,” some argue it should be banned as a performance-enhancing agent. This drug is also potent diuretic with a risk of side effects if it is not used properly.

They just have Miagi slap and rub his hands together and then touch it.

Maybe this:

Phenylbutazone

Bute, also known as Phenylbutazone, is a commonly used painkiller and anti-inflammatory drug for horses.

In my defense, that's not what it's used for in humans. :-)

I am no doctor, but I have had some sports injuries and surgeries, and unless it was a preexisting injury, I don't think they would shoot any numbing agent into a new injury without an x-ray.

Because, if it's really injured, as opposed to just in pain, numbing it could allow the athlete to damage himself more, and that would probably fall under malpractice, or at least be bad doctorin'.
