The discussion of beta blockers brings up a question I've been curious
about.

Does anyone know of any studies on use of betaadrenergics (the opposite,
if you will, of beta blockers) as performance enhancers?  I'm reasonably
sure they're on the banned list for athletic competition, but I would
think that they'd be tempting to singers, among others, since they
increase the airways' ability to pass air. Is there an underground
market for drugs like ventolin around conservatories?
