"In California, horses are not permitted to have more than one anti-inflammatory in their system during a race."
An anti-inflammatory drug plus Lasix makes two drugs that are allowed on race day. Everyone knows Lasix can mask drugs in a horse's system and according to the article NSAIDs can also mask other drugs. I am not so naïve to believe trainers do not take advantage of the rule of allowing two masking drugs on race day so that they can mask other drugs in a horse's system.
So much for only allowing only Lasix on race day.

DMSO is a leg liniment....this is what masks the EPO. it's a known masking agent for a variety of drugs,
