Salbutamol (called albuterol in the United States and sold as Ventolin)— is a b2-adrenergic agonist drug (assists adrenaline) used to treat airway spasms in people with asthma.
The International Olympic Committee, except for athletes given medical exemption, bans it. British researchers determined that salbutamol was also anabolic and worked by binding to androgen receptors in muscles.
