    I have asthma. I am always worried about peole who think that the drugs I take are performance enhancing. In fact, they are at a very distinct advantage over me because I usually start to wheeze during a race. I used to have a lung capacity of 11.5 liters. Now it is around 9 liters. Last year at our state I had to stop during the 200 free. So even thouhg I have really large lungs they don't work too well. Also, I've had my colon removed. And I have some webbing between my fingers & toes.
