Is this the article you meant? 

According to a source close to the club, of 35 players 22 are asthmatic – 63% of the squad, over five times higher than the 12% UK average. 

 

interesting

Very interesting. Opening avenues to prescribe ‘legitimate’ drugs. 
 

Either that, or the nation is being diagnosed on a much higher threshold, which could be the case.

That has got to be something to do with the medication you can use if you are diagnosed with asthma. Same as a staggering 93% of riders in the Tour de France are also asthmatic.

Cheating basically.

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. 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.

We were all on PEDs of course in 2015/16 so its only fair that Liverpool abuse asthma medication.

Next round of fixtures are a week away and there have been no TV announcements outside of the usual Sky/BT picks.

No way there'll be six 3pm kick offs on the Saturday.

Interesting, thanks. 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]

Last season it was the big 6 and Leicester in the media talk.

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.

 

Feels good.
