David Beckham has asthma, his agent Simon Oliveira told the Daily Mail today.

In Sunday’s MLS final, the Galaxy star was photographed using an inhaler. Oliveira said that Beckham has suffered from a mild form of asthma since childhood.

‘He has never sought to make it public, but if it does inspire any sufferer to think they can achieve great things like many other sportsmen have done, then so much the better,’ Oliveira said.

Beckham and the Galaxy lost to Real Salt Lake on penalty kicks.

Beckham played the game after getting pain-killing injections on his bruised right ankle, though the English star said the medication wore off after about 15 minutes.
