I don't believe that albuterol is a PED in a non asthmatic. The article above supports this.

When it comes to performance, the limiting factor is generally your cardiac output....a "normal" person's lungs have redundancy....therefore even if albuterol increases pulmonary function (ie ventilation and possibly gas exchange) it is not going to help in a non asthmatic.

If you use inhalers for asthma and do race, make sure you get the appropriate medical exemption, as suggested above. The paperwork is very simple and easy to do. I have done it on more than one occasion.

Singulair (an oral asthma medicine) does not require an exemption, I believe.
