This is a common problem I've seen with people who have asthma, in that they believe that asthma is a one-size-fits-all deal with no variance. There are many different types of asthma. Just because you have exercise induced asthma does not mean everyone does.
Source: I have asthma and throughout my childhood/teenage years was very active and competitive (I was also a swimmer and took my fair share of 1st places).
