the fundamental fact is that ventolin inhalers have no effect on someone that does not have constricted airways. They cannot open your airways up any more than as big as they should be. That's why WADA doesn't care about them.

Indeed. I am asthmatic, but it is very well controlled and I hardly ever need my blue inhaler. If i do end up using it then the best that happens is that my breathing gets back to somewhere near normal.

Also one puff or so is nothing.

That'll be the asthma he's had since a kid, that is apparently of the 'exercised induced' variety, that he fails to mention in his book.

The most interesting part of the article is Froome's change of sex as he grew up....

"Chris Froome uses an inhaler since when he was a boy to treat her asthma"

OK, OK, it may be something to do with Google's translatify app. But......

Terrible translations on the Google page, better to just have a go at it yourself.
