“Cognitively, the inhaler can give you the confidence to push yourself that little bit more. Sometimes a rider will know a climb is coming, so they take a couple of puffs.” I detest this statement as it (unknowingly) implies that using an inhaler is like doping and that EIA is almost a psychological condition. I do believe that inhalers DURING competition should be banned. Use it before or after if you need to, but not during. |
