There's this kid on my sons team who has rapidly progressed in the past 2.5 years from not even a B swimmer to top 15 in the country(USAS). Now this swimmer also started using a rescue inhaler for the past year & takes it to the blocks before he swims & sorta brags about it.
Now my son insists he's cheating? Is this possible ?I say mind your own lane & after reading wada I don't believe it does ultimately have a huge impact...or does it?
This concerns me also because my youngest has ADHD pretty severely and her meds are also banned by wada and she seems to be successful. I know I can get them approved but I hate for her to be labeled a cheater also.
Bronchodilators open the airways. Obviously if your bronchi are completely unobstructed then they will not increase the flow of air to your lungs, but I suspect many people have some level of obstruction (with the caveat that I'm not a doctor). Clearly asthmatics need to use them, but that doesn't mean that everyone using them truly has a need.
