Some of you guys need to take PED's.

Four of you were .001 second slow in submitting your threads. You need to work harder to get better if you are going to compete at this level.

Yeah, this is a totally uncommon phenomenon in the NFL, I'm sure.

Ok, now you've made that ridiculous claim twice. Can you provide a link backing up that Aderall is a masking agent? Aderall is a stimulant and doesn't mask anything, it (amphetamine) is one of the drugs commonly tested for on every drug test.

No it isn't, Adderall is an ADD drug comprised of amphetamine salts. Players are most likely saying its Adderall to save face because I don't think the NFL can announce what they actually tested positive for.

I would bet it was either steroids or some type of banned masking agent in all of these cases.

Not sure where the Adderall rumor started, PED is instantly translated Adderall on this site, lol. Your theory that Adderall is possibly code for Roids sounds more plausible.

No, Adderall isn't a masking agent....at all.

It's the drug that gets prescribed due to ADD. We have a incredibly high percentage of people who have ADD in this country; so it's thought of as being very benign. 10 years olds are on this stuff.

The NFL cannot disclose which substance someone tested positive for (it's illegal). So the only way you know is if the player chooses to tell the media. That's why all these players blame it on Adderall. We have no clue if they ever actually took Adderall; as opposed to a legit PED. They simply blame it on Adderall because -- out of all the illegal drugs in the NFL -- Adderall is the most tame.

EDIT: Oh, and Cunningham has not (yet) publicly cited Adderall as the drug he tested positive for.

Not a very good one judging by the below.

But it apparently only stays in the system for a few hours, so to get caught for it you would need to take it just before a game and be tested as soon as the game is done with for it to have any effect on performance
