Exactly 💯 It's speed for sure! Even Hitler enjoyed some speed for the war games

[@jcoopdo]

@@daixer3156 ive tried Adderall at high doses, and I'm jacked the f up. It's " used " for ADHD, but it's also used for people who want a mental advantage, which it definitely gives you as well as euphoria, increased aggression if so desired, you literally feel enhanced. Lol if I shoot some test in my ass for a few months, I will get some physical benefits and some slight mental from feeling good strong, but speed makes you feel invincible

[@N0NE47]

You wouldn't want to withdrawal for the fight so that's weird...

[@natjonestower3035]

Government sanctioned amphetamines have no place in sports. Speed is speed, no matter if you get it from a doctor or a dark alley.

[@Hinglemicringleberry]

If you take adhd meds you have to file for a medical exemption so when it comes up on a test it’s not flagged as a failure. It’s not a failure if your legally prescribed and have made the commission aware of it. If you don’t do that then you’ll “fail” a test. You have to do this in every sport. If you take medicine for a medical condition it’s not performance enhancing. It makes people with condition able to function normally.

[@dustindavis5397]

It’s a bit more nuanced. You have to submit for an exemption and in doing so your prescribing physician has to: 1. Present evidence of proper diagnoses 2. Prove that OTHER ALTERNATIVES OF TREATMENT were unsuccessful 3. Prove that the dosage in minimal and only as required to elevate you to normal function. A board of about 20 physicians reviews and can approve to return the application for an exemption. She didn’t execute this process and that’s probably because she knew she wouldn’t get approved… she stopped fight week, well…. because she’s a damn cheater

[@sp123]

​@@dustindavis5397bruh if you never had ADHD you don't know how vital meds are for people to function. IDK about the TUE process, but Adderall doesn't improve performance for people with ADHD, it puts them on a normal baseline

[@gstrainscoming9]

How is adhd medicine performance enhancing in the octogon? Someone please enlighten me

[@Lithenius]

It isnt, unless you take it the night of the fight. It can make you more alert, more confident, and a number of other benefits. But the fact she hadnt taken it in a week means there was zero benefits. Adderall is essentially meth/speed. So if you took it before your fight you could actually benefit from it.

[@daixer3156]

It basically goes in Kaleidescope view. You focus on your opponent and nothing else around you. It stops random thoughts as for those with AdHD. Instead of going from thinking imma fight to why us the sky blue to electrics cars works how. You just focus on one of those subjects. You mind without the drug just goes from one random thought to another and non of those thoughts correlate or mean anything to each other. That's why it's hard to focus and most use for college and homework

[@jesusescalante93]

Hmmm now ii see how many fighters still pass using drugs an epos

[@rickrocket8338]

Popping an addyerall before a fight is definitely performance enhancer water this down is a joke.

Just say that the cleanup guy did a bad job. Most of the Brazilian fighters are dirty. They live in remote areas so I am sure USADA doesn't check them much. They get cleaned up before they travel to the US.
