Questa tesi esplora il controverso tema dell'uso del salbutamolo, un broncodilatatore, nel contesto sportivo. L'obiettivo principale è analizzare i benefici terapeutici del salbutamolo nei soggetti asmatici, la sua farmacologia, e il suo potenziale impatto sulle prestazioni sportive. La tesi si focalizza anche sugli aspetti regolamentari e le normative antidoping, sottolineando come il suo uso possa sfociare nell'abuso come sostanza dopante. Attraverso una revisione della letteratura, vengono esaminati i rischi per la salute associati all'uso improprio del salbutamolo, nonché le implicazioni etiche e legali del suo utilizzo illecito. Vengono inoltre analizzati casi famosi di atleti squalificati per uso non terapeutico di questa sostanza.
