is this a performance enhancing drug?

We also saw her taking frequent hits from a very large inhaler always just before her races as she was warming up and behind the blocks. Any thoughts?. A few years ago, chlorofluorocarbon-propellant albuterol inhalers were replaced by HFA-propellant inhalers (it was claimed this was for environmetal reasons, but reality is that there is patent protection on HFA Inhalers so no generics exist.). The new inhalers, in a word, suck. If I am having an airway obstruction I take 10 puffs if not more (which means, in addition to being more expensive, I have to buy them more often). So from personal experience, I wouldn't judge anyone who "over-medicates" on the new inhaler. They just dont work as well. I will add that all inhalers are the same size. It might have appeared larger because she was using a spacer (which makes the delivery of the medicine more effective).
