We'll have to disagree there.
You can certainly disagree, but calling it craptastic is a pretty wild exaggeration IMO.

This is frustrating.

P.S. I definitely think there's an "everyone does it, but the dummies get caught" aspect to this. At this point I would not be surprised at any other name that comes down the suspension pipe.
They were popular in baseball and known as "greenies" but they do not have the direct effects that you mention. Adderall, as others have noted, is a mixture of the isomers of amphetamine and is a powerful stimulant. If you have ADD, ADHD, or narcolepsy you have a legit reason to take it.
Take a low dose and it is like a more prolonged shot of caffeine:
-if you were sleepy, you become not so sleepy
-if you were tired, you become able to do your workouts (added motivation)
-if you were having trouble focusing, you can pay attention
Thus it works wonders for lots of people, at a dose far below what causes any type of euphoric reaction.
But if you take a dose not right for you (too much), you might experience
-prolonged sleeplessness
-accelerated heartbeat
-anxiety and panic attacks
-heart damage (after prolonged use).
Thus it is not among the drugs to pick to make you run faster or jump higher.
It does make a dog-tired person get through a hectic day, however, which is likely the appeal for NFL players. Or it lets a tired guy go out late-night partying, which is another perceived plus in that age group.
More than a month after reports first surfaced that Wright was facing a four-game suspension for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy, Bucs coach Greg Schiano has confirmed that Wright’s suspension is starting today and will last the next four weeks.
In fairness, I thought his rookie year to be promising.
Tom Brady?

And we were so happy to see the Seahawks defensive backs get in trouble.
It can definitely help you focus when you're studying the playbook, sitting in a team meeting, or not get bored when you're lifting weights. It doesn't give you bigger muscles or help you heal, but it can improve performance in specific areas.The funny thing is that Adderall, like a lot of the substances banned on the PED list, doesn't actually enhance performance, and the NFL knows it.
Wow... shocked. What type of PED was it? What's going to happen to our pass rush? No Cunningham, and Jones out with injury.
Let's say just IF he's innocent. What if it's an over the counter drug that he's taking for a cold? He could appeal if he got a false positive right?
He was drafted for and hoped to be the answer to the pass rush issues. He started in 11 games that year. He registered 27 tackles and 1 sack. For comparison, he's started 3 games this season and has generally been more sparingly used than in 2010. His totals: 15 tackles and 2.5 sacks. His lasting memory of his rookie year was a pressure in which he forced an awkward throw from Manning. You're certainly welcome to your opinion that it was promising. But, expectations prior to the season included, I'm more inclined to think that it was a poor season out of Cunningham.
