Nowadays athletes are forced to take a variety of nutritional supplements and regularly consult with nutritionists and sports physicians. However, there are also far more ambiguous ways to reach sporting heights: the use of certain banned substances. Normally, appropriate drugs are prescribed only to patients, but, paradoxically, athletes often become such patients in order to legally consume what is prohibited. The article seeks to clarify the manifestation of such behavior, its potential benefits, and its relationship to the concepts of sports law and sports sociology. The study revealed that the use of illicit drugs still remains in the gray area and there is still a lack of research perspective on inhalers containing beta-2 agonists. The main recommendation that follows from the article is that the WADA should scientifically investigate whether certain asthmatic symptoms during tough physical and psychological exertion can be equated to a medical diagnosis of asthma.
