Helpful hints
Ensure the athlete ceases inhaled steroids and long acting Beta-2 agonists before the test (a minimum of 24 hours is suggested) but the longer the athlete is off the medication, the more likely that they will return a positive bronchodilator test or BPT. If an athlete is unsure whether they are in an RTP or the DTP should contact their National Sporting Organisation. Organise BPTs at a time that is most convenient to the athletes training and competition schedule.
