  • This thread/discussion in my mind never had anything to do with asthmatics...this is a discussion about people who are abusing a banned substance. How many are doing it is debatable...but the fact is we just lost the #1 female breaststroker/#2 spring freestyler on our Olympic team because she was using clen....and the stats about 60% of Olympic athletes getting waivers to use inhalers when the comparable population of non-athletes is far less is disturbing as well.
