Where are we supposed to be looking for a press release?

RX? AMA Site? FIM? SXGP.com?

Who runs this sport?

So if this rider gets popped for adderall what happens if he has a script from a doctor thats diagnosed him with adhd and has been taking it for some time? Do they have to stop taking it risking their health or do they get to continue taking their prescribed medication?

If a medicine a doctor can prescribe to a patient is on the list it's probably on the list by a recommended dose. A substance can be on the list and still be legal by dose. If a patient takes a medicine that's on the list and a recommended dose is said it's the riders responsibility to follow it. If the substance is completely illegal it's up to the rider to find another medicine. The authority can take special caution to individuals but it's still up to the athlete to let the authority now about it and appeal for it.

As an athlete you are always responsible for what you eat, drink and put in your body. Not the other way around. List is there for a reason. So everyone can find out what is allowed and what not. It's pretty fascinating for me to find out how far behind motocross is on this compared to other sports.

They keep taking it and show up to the next race.

Well, back in 2003 . . . and now there are contracts. The empty middle is interesting, and has been retreaded here many times, but the end game is that there are contacts and the AMA name is pretty much the last slender thread of the AMA's relationship with pro racing after really overplaying its hand back then.

I would say taking ADHD meds is probably worse for your health than not taking them. We didn't have them for 10s of thousands of years and the human race did just fine. my little brother coaches golf at a summer camp for rich kids in the states and he says most of the kids are on ADHD drugs and are totally whacked out of their heads. it's not good stuff.

Twenty years ago this evening we were waiting to see how this would play out. Funny how everything is circular.

This was all just a big ruse by GuyB in an attempt to gain more site traffic. Well played GuyB, we'll played.

If there's one thing the major sports have figured out, it's about the timing of a press release. If you have bad news coming out, have a press release on a Friday late afternoon.
