Correct answer: D — Keep dosing within WADA permitted limits and document indication

The 2026 List retains a permitted daily dose for inhaled salmeterol but adds an eight-hour dosing constraint. Athletes should document diagnosis and dosing and check Global DRO or national anti-doping advice. Exceeding permitted limits may require a TUE or lead to an adverse finding.
