    Is there an incentive to claim this falsely in order to get around doping regulations? The below mentions inhaled steroids are permitted. I’m curious if that could be used to cover larger ingested doses or be useful enough just in inhaled forms to be worthwhile.

    While the Code permits the use of inhaled glucocorticoids without restriction, oral and intravenous glucocorticoids are prohibited, although a mechanism exists that allows them to be administered for acute severe asthma.

    Sure thing Ventolin is a performance enhancer for athletes, even for people like me who really do have asthma.
