I learned that she's very disingenuous about her drug use. Bronchodilators can have a performance-enhancing effect beyond just "breathing capacity," as she says.
I'm with JH on this. She states she puffs up to put her on a level playing field with other swimmers in a race. That completely missed the point that she should take these to avoid a medical issue/emergency, as with Fort. That right there indicates there is no therapeutic value of this for her, at race time anyway. There's a competition value, clearly.
