"So your medical condition has, in a roundabout way, given you a leg up on the competition"
Depends if you are genuinely having an attack before your race. If you are taking the albuterol as a preventative for excercise induced asthma as I do then you may be correct. I can't say you are absolutely correct as I have never seen any studies.
If you are actually having an attack and wheezing before your race and you take the albuterol to calm it down, I would disagree with your statement. Your bronchial tubes and lungs are stressed out. You are probably only returning to "normal" after the dosage even considering the stimulant effect.
