Sorry Ed to bring football again , granted I haven't for a very long time (what ever did happen to those 300 blood bags of sportsmen & women suspended by WADA and ordered to be destroyed), onto this page, but I saw something this week online about during the 20-21 season (don't know about this season), that Liverpool FC had 22 players out of a squad of 35 that suffer from asthma.

This includes players newly diagnosed that had arrived at the club.
Seems very similar to the British cycling team / Team SLY and being able to abuse Sabutinol or whatever the drug is that's permitted to be taken with an "asthma" condition.

It would mean Liverpool have 5 x the national average of asthma sufferers at something like 65%!
Seems very dodgy and if true I'm surprised it's not received more attention.

{Ed033's Note - This is a complete guess, are you saying it's a possibility that within certain sports Teams, the sports people get a diagnosis of asthma, and therefore they need to take a certain substance, and maybe that substance can have a temporary enhancement affect while performing the sport?

Yes, a substance called Salbutamol or similar which opens up the airways and I think gives basically increase lung capacity. Also mentions Leicester City and Manchester City.
Also some sort of steroid injections can be permitted by asthma sufferers including increased caffeine levels, (although caffeine is no big deal).



This here is 1 of a few similar articles online that I came across this week.
No surprise to see stuff again in relation to Real Madrid & Barcelona.
Seems to be a trend in employing doctors for clubs who have experience with cyclists.
