Opening avenues to prescribe ‘legitimate’ drugs. Either that, or the nation is being diagnosed on a much higher threshold, which could be the case.

Same as a staggering 93% of riders in the Tour de France are also asthmatic. Cheating basically. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salbutamol works by relaxing the muscles of the airways to the lungs so breathing is easier ..... even if the difference is minimal in finely tuned athletes ......small margins and all that ....

They should just make it an authorised substance then. Would save the charade of some of the fittest athletes in the world all claiming to be asthmatic.

Would save the charade of some of the fittest athletes in the world all claiming to be asthmatic. Ridiculous. Sports asthma (or exercise-induced bronchoconstriction to be more accurate) is an actual thing. It's not actually 'asthma' in a technical sense but can be treated with asthma medication. I've also heard on a few occasions that elite athletes push themselves so close to the limit of human athletic achievement that they're actually bordering on being unhealthy. It'd be interesting to know more details but I wouldn't be surprised if most of those Liverpool players with 'asthma' actually have 'sports asthma'. The number does seem extremely high but being an elite athlete does means you're more likely to have it, apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be interested to hear what sports scientists / academics think about it. Your explanation sounds legit but it could equally be a cover: we’re training really hard so we need medicine to help our lungs. And if elite sportsmen are pretty much the only ones affected, it would give an advantage to the top, and leave the lesser sportsmen, and poorer clubs probably, at a disadvantage.

Chrysalis Posted 13 November 2020 Share Posted 13 November 2020 Last season it was the big 6 and Leicester in the media talk. Now we have this. We also in the 2nd row of managers. Sky sports article has us as a title contender, saints only get mentioned as outsider for europe, wolves everton no mentions at all.
