Asthma TUE's for cyclists are the stripper equivalent of a lower back
tramp stamp (tattoo).
Petacchi has one because he's a doper. Oscar Perriero has a TUE because
he needs to "open up his lungs."
I even have disciples preaching the word to runners:

Doesn't mask anything as far as I know. It's a cheaters favourite
because it helps you breath so much better under effort. Loads of people
have TUA for it, just get your local doc to talk to the athletics board
doc, fill in the forms and bingo.Loads of cyclists use it, most of them
have the required TUA,but the dosage is limited. Spain is about 50%
"asthmatic" on the pro cycling front. A runner near you will be using an
asthma drug. Know what the reat thing about it is?? You can usually get
the TUA to say you need it before the tests you need to get done to
prove it.
Salbutamol = a licence to cheat, most people can fake asthma symptoms,
especially effort induced asthma.
