If it is soo hard to work out who is asthmatic and who isn't, and it appears these drugs are generally considered side effect free (I.e. not dangerous), is there merit in the UCI considering just allowing their use across the board?
Plenty of other supplements have claimed to increase your capacity to breath. Those funny nose strip things and vicks vapour rub type stuff on the shirts of footballers for a while.
Seems to me, anyone considered not asthmatic will feel like their possibly very slightly asthmatic peer is getting an advantage and so decides that maybe after all, they do feel a bit asthmatic, just to make sure they are not missing out on any advantage.
