Title: Terbutaline

Lot of distance runners getting busted for this. It’s an asthma medication that opens up the bronchial tubes so you can get more oxygen to the working muscles.

Don’t see a benefit for BBers.

Beta agonists are somewhat anabolic.

Tested athletes shouldn't really be getting busted these days since a "therapeutic use exemptions" are easy to come by if you are asthmatic. Asthma doesn't seem to be a very definite diagnosis either, everyone can have asthma under certain conditions. Beta agonist use is absolutely rampant in certain sports - skiing for example. A very high percentage have asthma and a TUE. It's a loophole they haven't been able to close.
