example 1.
Cox in his natural UN-medicated state has ANY kind of disorder (symptoms)
Me in my natural UN-medicated state has no disorder
Cox cannot beat me in a race
example 2.
Cox in his unnatural medicated state no longer has disorder (symptoms)
Me in my natural UN-medicated state has no disorder
Cox can beat me in a race
Is example 2. fair to me?
"In other words, people with ADD/ADHD operate better in situations of extreme stress or panic, because adrenaline sort of bridges the gaps in their brain and makes their brain actually work better, while people without ADD tend to sort of start shaking and freak out when something causes their adrenaline to start pumping."
If your claim of 80% of the "top guys" in MX having ADHD is accurate I think you may be on to something even though your reasoning is anecdotal.
You're saying that ADD "has nothing to do with how good you are at [motocross]" and at the same time you are saying that ADD makes the brain work better in stressful situations.
So which one is it?
Stewart in his unnatural medicated state no longer has disorder (symptoms)
Me in my natural UN-medicated state have no disorder
Stewart can beat me like a dirty rug in a race
Stewart in his natural UN-medicated state has a disorder (symptoms)
Me in my natural UN-medicated state have no disorder
Stewart can STILL beat me like a dirty rug in a race
My stand is that you can't enhance talent & skill on a motorcycle. If Stewart could still beat 99% of the riders on the gate at any given race WITHOUT being medicated...he can STILL beat 99% of the riders on the gate at any given race WITH the medication needed to make his condition the same "normal" as the rest of the UN-medicated riders.
Children with ADHD can be accident-prone (Dr. Dobson, University of California, Berkeley). But as they can older they may include dangerous activities such as “rock climbing, bungee jumping, car racing, motorcycle riding or white water rafting.” The draw to such activities it the need for high stimulation and the adrenaline rush that is associated with these activities. Adults with ADHD are sometimes considered to be “adrenaline junkies” seeking out activities that will create a rush or a high.
By who and how often? Its hardly science is it?
That's why you were stumped. You couldn't find a rational, unemotional response for that one that wouldn't show your inconsistency.
Would a competitor have ACL surgery be unfair to you if they came back and beat you?
Now I can no longer be in a natural UN-medicated state simply because of the mind bender off topic response of yours.
You win, I just can't compete
Please be gentle on the rest of society, you're dangerous
We can explain it to you, but we can't understand it for you.
You get an adrenaline rush the first time you go off a start gate, the first time you jump a triple, etc.
But do you when it's the 20,000th time you've jumped a triple? Or the 500th time you've left a start gate?
No.
Pit Row
Oh well, I guess increased comprehension isn't and effect of whatever PED it is that you're taking.
shame on you Cox and bravo all at the same time.
still haven't read the article and not going to. TLDNR.
Plenty of people understood it all just fine.
If eight out of the top ten best riders in the world have a condition which is said to affect between 3-5% of the global population you're going to have to work a lot harder to convince me that they are the ones who are disadvantaged.
Hypothetically speaking, NASCAR has a role that all cars have to be exactly 100 inches from the front of the front bumper to the back of the back bumper.
At the conclusion of a race they measure the top three cars one car measures and 99 inches, one car measures 100 inches and one car measures 101 inches.
Who cheated?
