So have I. Unfortunately I think we will see a lot of "unbelievable" performances by Chinese athletes.Quote:

This is all b*ll sh*t! I use salbutamol rgularlio and i yam completellly noooormallio...o...oooooooo grrrrr, snart, spit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

She had taken it for a valid reason. I've just read back over the thread. I use salbutamol and I also use corticosteroids does that make me a cheat does it bugger. Have you ever had an attack of severe bronchospasm when you run like I do if I race without taking an inhalor. It feels like you are suffocating not a pleasent experience. Taking salbutamol hasn't improved my running I've been taking it for the last 2 years and I haven't really run much in the way of pb's. I've also been taking corticosteroids for the last year and no pb's really performance enhancing at standard doses. Pre and post exercise peak flows is what should be used to correctly diagnose exercise induced asthma then pre and post having taken your inhaler.
With a normal set of lungs you will get an increase in peak flow immediately following exercise which indicates that there is an increase in the cross sectional area of the airway.
If I didn't take my inhaler my Peak Flow will drop indicating a decrease in the cross sectional area and hence harder to breathe.
If I take my inhaler my peak flow stays the same indicating that the cross sectional area of airway is the same which means that I get no advantage over those who don't take an inhaler so infact compared to me those who don't have asthma are at an advantage even when I've taken my inhaler. If you don't have asthma and use salbutamol you would gain an advantage this is where correct diagnosis comes into play. The extended TEU that you fill in for the IAAF involves peak flows and spirometry readings to be put on the form. This is screened by UKA prior to the IAAF getting it.
Back to the point if I had pnemonia I'd take whatever I was given seeing as pneumonia can be a somewhat life threatening condition.
