Michael Phelps has reiterated his support for tougher sanctions for doping – including a lifetime ban for anyone who tests positive for a banned substance
yeah I was just saying it’s not all done after the fact. People with known conditions can get exceptions. And issues with colds etc are reviewed, it’s not like an automatic DSQ.

True. An example from another sport is road race cyclist Bo Hamburger who got an exemption because he had asthma.
Apparently the same inhaler that helps asthmatic people breathe helps non-asthmatic people breathe TOO well or something along those lines lol
IIRC all the norwegian xcountry skiers have asthma. Amazing that they can still dominate the sport, despite their illness.
Conclusion: cross country skiing excellence causes asthma.
As for Norwegians dominating cross country skiing, that’s as close to a natural law as you get in sports 🤷😄
