Can you take Aderol in the UFC if doctor prescribed?

[slicebergjim]

I read it isn't banned for some sports like baseball. I've got it on prescription.
I'm 5 ft 3 and knocking 6 ft 6 dudes out in my gym via quadruple roundhouse kick on the regular. It's great stuff.

Posting from my phone and couldn't care less bud. People like you are annoying as fuck. Does it make you feel smart or good about yourself? Do you go run to your mom and show her how good you did pointing out bad grammar on an internet forum?

No, but it makes me feel good that I don't check an internet forum from my phone. Thanks for boosting my fragile sense of self-worth.

 

[Palani]

I dont think it’s banned if you have s script. Thats bullshit if it is.

I guess I’d take millions of dollars to be as focused as a toddler. Gotta be a bitch learning plays tho

Even with a prescription. The NFL considers it a PED. I know of at least one player who was suspended, and he had an Rx.
The only exception is if the player goes through the process of a therapeutic exemption, which I hear is not easy. But again, I don't mean to take this too off-topic.

Well if it makes you feel better I'm glad I could help.

I dont think fighting on jt is a good idea even if prescribed. Same with training.

My resting heart rate is like mid 60s but when i take it and workout it can get jacked up as high as 200+ which...isnt cool lol. And the not eating thing is fun and all til you come down and your blood sugar crashes at the same time. Shit sucks and it is definitely overprescribed nowadays

 

[Chok Sok Te]

Idk but I’ve got heart palps and sweaty palms just thinking about it !

You don't have to eat and can learn guitar songs?

If a fighter has been prescribed Aderol by a doctor, does USADA allow fighters to consume that drug during weigh in times?

no, it takes several days to be cleared from your body. it's prohibited to use in-competition, which effectively means you should stop taking it at least a week before your in-competition tests

 

[JosephTessaro]

Unsure. What benefits would it give?

It's speed.

I doubt it.

I think it is spelled Adderall

 

[MartiniSIDe]

Honestly, if you take a therapeutic dose everyday it doesn't make a difference like people who take it once in a while.

The euphoria feeling that you get the first few days of taking it disappears at some point. You just feel normal, that's pretty much it.

 

[Flex Plexico]

Addy is great for drinkin and bangin all night. Kinda like coke, but it’s legal and doesn’t make you jaw and scrunch your nose all night like an idiot. You can always tell who’s tootin’.

addy always made my teeth feel bigger

same with mushrooms

Having a prescription for something does not magically stop it being prohibited. You can get a prescription for testosterone, you can get a prescription for steroids, growth hormone, hell you can get a presctiption for EPO. They dont suddenly become legal the minute you have a prescription.

You would need to get a TUE (Therapuetic use exemption) from both USADA and the Athletic Commission.

Its pretty commonly prescribed for ADHD etc, in fact in TUE's issued Adderall is second only to Corticosteroids.

However, having a prescription in itself isnt enough to automatically get a tue. the requirements are

1) Is a genuine, documented and verifiable medical condition - in the case of it being used for ADHD this would involve having to provide The USADA Tue committee (which is an independant panel of doctors), evidence from a medical health professional demonstrating that you do indeed have the issues you are claiming.

2) There must be no non-prohibited alternative - in other words, there must be no non-prohibited medicine that can treat your condition just as well. Depending on the potential performance enhancing effects of the substance they may require you to fully exhaust all other options first.

3) And this wouldnt apply in the case of adderall, but the condition being treated must not be caused by prior use of prohibited substances (this would be the case say in an athlete who had low testosterone from steroid abuse - they would not be able to get a tue to take a drug that rectifies that)

4) It must not improve performance beyond what would be considered a normal physiological (or mental) level




So yes, it is prohibited, but you can get a TUE and it is the second most approved substance in sport as far as TUE's go, but its not as simple as just providing your prescription.

Oh, and like other stimulants, its only prohibited in competition. In the case of the UFC thats from 12pm on the day before the fight, till 1 hour after your fight or at the conclusion of post fight drug tests.

I remember a couple Seattle DBs busted for adderol. I thought Sherman got off but Browner still got suspended. Thanks for the info.

That’s what I was getting it. It had to be allowed for those who need it I just didn’t think there’d be a lengthy exemption process for adderol. I know Chael, Hendo and Vitor had TRT exemptions but I can’t fathom the reasoning for adderol being placed in the same class as testosterone.

Certainly with USADA the tue process is the same regardless of substance. The amount of evidence required may vary depending on the class of substance, and with certain conditions there may be far more non-prohibited treatments to exhaust prior to setting on a prohibited treatment, but the basic procedure is the same regardless of substance involved.

The process generally remains the same. Whats important is the underlined, the medical evidence must be enough for the TUE panel to reach a decision without actually seeing the athlete at any time. So it needs to be very detailed. (they dont see the athlete because the tue panel are regular doctors scattered around the country, they arent actually USADA staff)







but theres more.. the supporting docuements required for ADHD/Adderall are as follows:





in addition, the diagnosis cant just come from your regular doctor, it has to be a specialist in mental health, and the findings have to reach certain criteria. Including full details of what criteria were set and how they were reached.






So if you go to your doctor with attention problems, he says ok, i prescribe you adderall, take as and when needed, that will not satisfy the TUE committee


its far more drawn out that one would think

Read post above

People go 4-5 days no eating, barely any water

kratom does the same thing for me and thats natural. Though I take in water because I make a tea using it. Though it kills your hunger and I eat one meal a day now for the past 5 years. I do great.

You also can take coke, but only if your name rhymes with Bon Phones

Did you mean Adderall?
