1. Why are steroids classified as drugs?

2. Suggest why salbutamol is a banned drug in sports competitions.

3. Why would using epo give an athlete an advantage?​

1==>During the Olympics, all asthma medications containing beta2-agonists, such as salbutamol (also known as albuterol), were on the official World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) list of banned substances, due to their known ability to relax the smooth muscle cells in bronchial airways.3.==>EPO stimulates the production of red blood cells in bone marrow and regulates the concentration of red blood cells and haemoglobin in the blood. This is useful for athletes, since red blood cells shuttle oxygen to the cells, including muscle cells, enabling them to operate more effectively.
