Not sure what you mean by "the norm", but if it is compared to the general population, then surely that's no surprise. Exercise induced asthma results from strenuous exercise so pro cyclists would be far more likely to show evidence of the condition than the general population, which comprises many sedentary people.

According to Liberation, Chavanel, Coppel and Ledanois have used the "services" of (Dr Mabuse) Bernard Sainz for "homeopathic medicine"

I asked a while back whether there wwere any studies that showed why asthma was higher in professional sport and someone pointed to a study. I can't remember the post but it was very credible evidence.

I have heard that they are experimenting with dehydrated dihydrogen monoxide - its reduced bulk saves a fortune in storage and transportation costs. It is also much easier to swallow ...

Good, because I find the idea of cyclists getting any benefit from homeopathic medicines rather hard to swallow.
I've also heard that it can come in solid form and works well with a cocktail...

She's down to ride the Tour de Feminin (UCI WE2.2) in the Czech Republic tomorrow with Russian national team. I'm assuming she'll be not now be riding. She won the TT stage in the same race last year by over 30 seconds on a relatively short stage (Finished in 21 mins or something). Three Russians in the top 12. Suspect it's widespread. She also did well in the TT world championships in the US last year.
I find it all a bit depressing, my daughter is riding too, and I know she rides clean.
