No and No.
On BodyBuilding.Com they have a few gems about this drug in its profile.
* "Clenbuterol is a very widely used drug and has quite a reputation. A good one among athletes and recreational users, and a very bad one among those people who know very little about illegal performance enhancing aids."
* "Just to demonstrate the wide use of this drug and its immense popularity among athletes, observe the US Olympic team. Exercise-induced asthma is an affliction that generally occurs in 3-7% of the population, and is in some rare cases treated with clenbuterol. In 2000, 60% of US Olympic athletes claimed to have exercise-induced asthma and ALL of them were prescribed clenbuterol for this condition. An otherwise illegal drug, tolerated solely for this reason. And this while the Romanian gymnast Andrea Raducan was stripped of her gold medal for the 25 µg of norephedrine in her cold medicine she was taking."
Athletes are getting to be as shady as bodybuilders and pro wrestlers. I'm sure more than half of our Olympians really do have asthma. But hey, it would be highly cruel for us to let them try and perform without having that drug to fight off their imaginary afflictions.
