Say a noh so. .

Veronica Campbell Brown is the latest sports figure targeted for suspicious drug use threatening her long career as an Olympic Champion. She has won 16 medals for Jamaica, W.I.
The Jamaica Gleaner newspaper has confirmed that VCB returned a positive test on May 4 in Jamaica. The test results came as a surprise to all, as it was told that she tested positive for a diuretic furosemide.  Diuretics are masking agents banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency because of their ability to hide the presence of performance-enhancing drugs in the system. So, what is Furosemide aka Lasix?  - "It is a loop diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from absorbing too much salt, allowing the salt to instead be passed in your urine. Furosemide treats fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or a kidney disorder such as nephrotic syndrome. This medication is also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension)" - This info was found on Drugs.com website. We are all waiting to find out the outcome and we still say a noh so . . .
