Meth is one nasty drug though... I'm sure he isn't the only one.
How can he even try to say it was wrong??
The Shop
This is old news though....he claimed it was Claratin and an attention deficit disorder pill..whatever it's called.
Or did they today call him basically a liar for the Claratin, add pills?
Damn....I'm going to CVS

You F up in Nascar your Done.
The NCAA and NFL ban all kinds of substances... including any kind of cold medicine. Legal or not, sick or not, dr's orders or not, you get popped and you are in violation of the rules...
If someone legitimately has a diagnosis of ADD/ADHD and is given Adderall, they are FAR SAFER on the track than if their ADD kicks in. Think about it. Would you want the guy next to you at 200 mph to be thinking, "Did I leave the iron on? Huh. I don't know. I wonder if I did. Next pit stop, I should probably tell someone to ask my wife."?
No, you want them thinking about what they're doing, period.
I might be a little behind on my add studies but I don't think it works like that.... I might be wrong thou... hey, look at that coffee mug...
Does it matter what the policy is ? I would say Meth is banned every where.
Pit Row
And you're right, concentration is part of NASCAR. So is vision. Should they ban laser-eye surgery? Hey, if you weren't born with 20/20, you lose. Sorry.
If they made Adderall a legal substance in sports, what percentage of participants do you think would suddenly end up with prescriptions? The dollars are so high that the guys take huge risks with illegal substances... if it were legal, I'd bet the number would go through the roof.
And if what you're saying is correct, then we need tighter controls on the doctors.
There are always doctors for sell, regardless of how tight you set the regulations... look at recent pop history, MJ? Limbaugh? Anna? All were doctor shopping.
PED's should be considered moto because it is a problem that will blow up in everyone's faces as soon as they start testing...
From what I know, having ADD would not affect a person during high intensity activity. It's only when things are slow or they are in the midst of cognitive activities such as studying or listening to a lecture.
He claimed he was innocent, that drugs detected were prescription.
Nascar banned him as well.
In the end Tim died from aids, and I believe nascar settled out of court with his family. Although I don't think you will find that out from nascar or wikpeda about the lawsuit.
From wikipedia:
In 1990, The New York Times reported that Dr. Forest Tennant, who was at that time the National Football League's drug adviser, "falsified drug tests"[20] that ultimately helped shorten Tim Richmond's NASCAR career.[20] Washington television station WJLA-TV, in early 1990, reported that sealed court documents and interviews showed Tennant and NASCAR used "allegedly false drug-test results in 1988 to bar Richmond from racing".[20] Reporter Roberta Baskin stated that NASCAR had targeted Richmond, requesting that Tennant establish a substance-abuse policy with Richmond in mind.[20] "A series of drug tests and falsely reported positive results shortly before the 1988 Daytona 500 kept Richmond from driving in what was to have been his last big race. . .", the report said.[20] While neither Tennant nor NASCAR supplied an official response at the time, NASCAR did confirm that they were seeking to replace Tennant.[20]
If there was a surgery that made an athlete stronger or able to throw further or what not... then it would be banned (eventually)... but making a bone stronger (at the point of injury) than it was pre injury, I don't think that is a "performance enhancing" operation...
Of course, where do you draw the line? Do you forbid training because it is a performance enhancer?
