A normal person would be taken to jail for having meds without a prescription.
ehh, even that is 50/50. Some states it can be a misdemeanor. I know a pharmacist that got caught stealing a few pills a day for over a year for her own personal use. The pharmacy that caught her on camera was going to press charges, but with the help of a lawyer, got it backed down to paying back what she owed in losses (over $10,000) and the loss of her pharmacy license. No jail time, but i think she did get some probation. When it was all said and done, she ended up as a technical rep for a big pharma company making more money than she ever did.
It's 2026. We have our elite racers competing into their 30's, not retiring at 26-27 on top of the sport for fear of testing "dirty" back then.
What is your actual point to the thread? TUEs, abuse of, or lack thereof? Are you insinuating that prescribed stimulants are abused, therefore pushing rider longevity in the sport?

Guy with ADHD here, diagnosed multiple times, on the highest prescribed legal dose possible 3x of ritalin a day. Id love to not needs meds and mental therapy to have a normal functioning brain, thank you.
Its a super power when you can get that hyper focus on racing and riding. Usually it likes to lock that focus on how your pinky on your right hand is being poked by your glove the ENTIRE time, or your balls are hot.
Look for the guys with insanely dilated pupils on race day.
Meth - but without the methyl group that makes it meth. You'll never be a good drug dealer or manufacturer. I hope you know that.
Walter White is disgusted. Thoroughly.
They’re not competing into their 30s now because lack of fear of testing “dirty”. This current crop of top riders are the wave of the post-RC era where fitness and wellness takes a forefront to their training regiment for their entire careers. These guys are still in top shape into their 30s, just look at Eli. No different than Tom Brady competing until he was 45, these guys are taking body science to a new level now.
Back in the day dudes were mostly running on talent, their off-track time was way less intense and many just partied in their free time. So when they hit their mid-late 20s they physically couldn’t keep up with the young guys anymore. It had nothing to do with avoiding “testing dirty”.
Sounds like I’ll never be a good scientist either. Ha
How many guys have TUE for synthroid? Thyroid issues are virtually nonexistent in young healthy males but lot of riders seem to think theirs is a problem....... I wonder how many of them even realize they're being put on PED? The way they openly talk about it, I bet not many.
When you look at the education levels of most of the moto community combined with their mistrust of science (when it suits them) you can see why people like Aldon Baker are able to flourish...and why people like David Pingree have the gall to pontificate on medical science...
Yes, not to mention that what legally prescribed drugs riders are taking is entirely their own business...
Never heard of sarcasm?
Thank you. Someone has a grasp on reality. Whether it's T 3 or T 4, does that make it a ped because you can maintain your body weight 30lbs less than without it? Imagine taking 30 lbs off thier bikes. I started this thread to see how many people actually have an idea what goes on.
I agree JT. And I respect Soggy "SM" and you as well.
No. Methamphetamine and Amphetamine are not the same. It's literally in the name.
I'm so out on conspiracies.

Thanks for telling us you weren't a James Stewart fan without telling us you weren't a James Stewart fan.
According to the Astars crew, it's against HIPAA to discuss response times for downed riders on the track.
It was always crack cocaine for me before and in between motos..
You realize Ping has 6 months of fire-based paramedic medical training right? It makes medics just educated enough to start to understand disease processes but not enough to be smart about it. 😁
All the love intended to my fellow fire medics
So, uh is permethrin cream a form of meth too? Asking for a friend....
James Stewart and his 16 month suspension would argue that.
I'm a cyborg. I'm gonna race those 'humans', 😆
See a show at the sphere. It'll be a bigger conspiracy wondering if it was real.
It would absolutely help a lot of riders. Theres a reason Stewart was on it. It makes you sharper and more precise. I’ve rode on it (vivance) and definitely helped. If I take some and play darts, pool, corn hole, anything like that, I’m instantly better.
Not saying riders should take it, buts for most it’s an advantage 100%
I would never let my kid be prescribed or take it, but I guarantee a lot of the kids my kid races on 85’s are addy’d up on the line just to get an edge.
Thank you for your open and unbiased reply 🙏
