At our SCM meet this past weekend we had an out-of-state visitor swimming. She was a very serious swimmer, arrived a week early to acclimate, came with a bit of an entourage, and did some pretty amazing times (45-49). 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?.

This is just not true. The pulmonary deposition is as good or better with HFA than compared to CFCs (depending on which med you use) and all physiology efficacy studies have shown them to be the same. In addition, every respiratory specialist that I know --and I know a lot -- feel that they are equivalent.
Do you really stand by this statement, or did you perhaps exaggerate a little bit? "all studies" and "every respiratory specialist" you know?!? Really? So the news that there are people who claim that HFA inhalers suck must have come as a real surprise to you. Hmm, yet you were so ready to respond. Strange.
The conspiracy isn't that a few people who stood to make Billions got CFC inhalers banned. It was that hundreds of thousands of patients got together and simultaneously claim that the new inhalers don't work as well.
