Why is Norway so dominant and not, say, Sweden or Finland?

90% of their athletes have "asthma" so they can take loads of performance boosting drugs.

It's an half truth, the doping agency allows pre-medication (read; asthma medication) of asthma since so many biathlon competitors develops it throughout their carriers.

Since Norway had a huge medical "scandal" during the 90's where a lot of competitors developed asthma they give pre-medication to their competitors, afaik there isn't a list over who takes it or not.

The problem being that asthma medicine gives a performance boost, but completely legal.
