No current asthma med that I'm aware of is banned according to current WADA regs. For some of them there is a limit that is much higher than the typical doseage for asthma.
Daily administration of SINGULAIR for the chronic treatment of asthma has not been established to prevent acute episodes of EIB.
Have you tried Salmeterol and Fluticasone combined (Advair)? My wife uses that. I use Fluticasone for my daily and add Salmeterol the day of a hard ride. With that combi I can stay over LT for quite a while.
