Interesting article: "Dara Torres, Demystified" by Amanda Schaffer at Slate.
This article has some inaccurate statements in it. Albuteral and formoterol do not "increase lung capacity". They only stop the muscles in the bronchial tubes from seizing up in an asthma attack. A non-asthmatic who took these medications would not experience any benefit.
"Inhaled formoterol works like other β2-agonists, causing bronchodilatation by relaxing the smooth muscle in the airway so as to treat the exacerbation of asthma."
