I knew James got suspended for the use of Adderall, but had no idea what the "performance enhancing" effects were of this drug. Guess I was pretty naïve and didn't see what the big deal was. Today I was reading about Aubrey Huff, former major league baseball player, and he said, "So I went through that whole 2010 season playing under the influence....I think in a lot of ways Adderall is more potent than any steroid you can take because, as you know, baseball is a game of mental toughness, and Adderall gets into your head and makes you feel invincible." Hmm, sure might be a major advantage in the rough and tumble world of MX and Supercross.

I have an ADHD diagnosis. I did a clinical trial a long time ago for a drug that a doctor at the University of California, Irvine was testing. I'd say that one they were trying was a bust, but at the end of the trial they gave me a sample prescription for Adderall that was good for just over two weeks. It made an amazing difference.
When it ended, I found that it wasn't on the formulary for my health insurance, and my (now ex-)wife wasn't a fan of the idea of me using it, so I let it lapse.
I just ran across the diagnosis (and old prescription bottle) a week or so ago, and may revisit this...
As for James, he was fast before, and fast while he was using it. Judging by the relatively short WADA penalty (which is often much longer for the same situation), it appears to me that the penalty was more for not having his TUE paperwork complete, than an abuse type situation.
If a rider has a lower natural testosterone count then another rider then should he be able to supplement testosterone? - Not necessarily directed at you GuyB
Phelps has abnormally large lungs. Should he have to take medicine to reduce his oxygen intake?
Sorry if not really on topic. Just food for thought.
I will say that it helps me immensely socially, professionally and dealing with day to day stress. My daily dose is light and I've convinced my doctors that i want off it. They have been slowly decreasing my dosage.
When I'm riding I don't feel it's an unfair advantage since I take it every day. It's just a part of my life.
I am very interested to know if some professional athletes only take it before competition and not on a daily basis. This is where I feel it would give them a advantage.
A small difference in chemical makeup can make a huge difference. You need H2O to survive. Add another oxygen atom, and everything should be fine since we need oxygen, right? Uh, not exactly. At that point you're drinking hydrogen peroxide and it kills you.............
If you truly have it, you now it......adderal didn't work for me....too .moody.
Even Schedule III drugs not legal for sale or prescription in the USA if they are legal elsewhere.
You don't even need a real doctor if you know where to look to get a script.
Who will, if you need it, then refer you to a real doctor(For a Price) to give you the TUE paperwork, and if Bloodwork is needed, that is easily manipulated as well, making the bloodwork 100% Legit(at that time) also.
Hell, that's why their client list is for high end doctors, athletes, trainers, celebrities, rappers, you name it..
It's like the wild west of Tijuana pharma. Tell the pharmacist/doc what you need, you get a "Script" Even for non FDA approved drugs. LOLZ.
Any good doctor can have you glowing green like a superfund site. All legit covered with a TUE.
I take a non stimulant adhd meds and it just helps you keep your mind from going everywhere. Last thing you need is to be thinking about what to put on your truck while youre in the middle of a supercross race. If youre not on a med for add, the task youre doing becomes subconscious almost and you think about everything else while doing something.
Desoxyn though, is in fact, Pharm grade meth.

I love JS7, what a racer he was, and I hope I never see him race again.
Taking the Ferrari down to the store and getting some diapers would be a great day.
Buncha horseshit. FIM clearly stated they believed Stewart was/had been circumventing the rules. Page 12 (near bottom) http://www.fim-live.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Anti_Doping_-__CAS_Full_A…
"His failure to do so was not simply a failure of paperwork"
"As for James, he was fast before, and fast while he was using it" LOL exactly!!!!!! I notice you didn't say shit about what he has done since he was "caught" and now has to take a regulated dose.
We know how he was while taking unlimited amounts under the radar (super focused ride at Toronto 2014 just before the positive test) and we know his results after being limited to only a suitable medicinal amount after getting caught (schoolboy errors, mistakes since the comeback from his ban etc.)
People on here get really upset if you suggest he was cheating. But that's exactly what it was, and as stated above WADA clearly concluded that "His failure to do so was not simply a failure of paperwork", hence the ban.
There's a big difference between taking enough to function normally in everyday life (TUE) and taking as much as you want under the radar while competing in Pro sport. That's why you need a TUE to use it while competing, and that's why a TUE doesn't give you carte blanche to take as much as you want. The results before and after the ban speak for themselves.
Of course this opinion makes me a hater etc. I guess WADA are haters as well.
