Comments Thread For: Team Mosley: Test Failure is Innocent Mistake, Adderall

[stephenmc]

Smh, you do relize that if he really dose have adhd it should have a reverse effect on him, as in slow him down, if someone who dosnt have adhd takes it,ya its speed really. And it is fairly easy to get prescribed. All they have to do is check past medical records to know anyway

I wonder if there's an exemption for modafinil?

I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the CHEATER

I took adderall a couple times in college when studying for tests. All I know is that I would fixate on whatever I was studying for about 4 or 5 hours and you could down a bunch of beer and barely get a buzz. I also got A's on all of the tests that I took when I studied on Adderall which is kind of the point.

Not really sure how it affects someone who is really prescribed to take it though.

This does make the test failure much less concerning to me. But, I say that as someone with ADHD who takes Adderall, so make of that what you will.

I will admit that getting a prescription for Adderall can be shockingly easy depending on which doc you approach for it. So I won't pretend as though he can't be taking it for dishonest reasons. Most likely though, if he were using it to cheat, he is doing it to suppress his appetite and make weight. It's not like meth where it makes you feel invincible. That would still be cheating and dishonest of course, but thought I'd throw it out there because not all drugs are the same.

ur ass its not like meth depends how much u take

So? All the kids these days are doin it.

Yeah I guess I haven't tried to OD on it so I wouldn't know I suppose. Also I assume it has a different effect on me. A lot of people say they can take half a 10mg pill and stay up all night super focused meanwhile I'm on 30mg a day and I get about 12 hours worth of reasonable, sustained focus out of it. Without it I wouldn't be able to sit still long enough to say watch through an entire movie, or for that matter hold a conversation, let alone do my job for 8 hours and stay on top of everything.

It was recently reported by BoxingScene.com and other media outlets that Shane Mosley Jr. tested positive for amphetamines in his post-fight drug test after his crushing 51 second knockout of Jason Kelly on the June 27th BKB event at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Speculation on many social networks ran rapid afterwards on what type of "amphetamines" Mosley tested postive for.

If true, then the problem was bad management by Mosley Snr.

Shane knows the ropes.

Seriously people need to get off with the whole drug crusader.

He was prescribed it. Its not a banned substance. He should be more professionally and diligent, but does not make him a cheat.

[I Love Jesus!]

shouldnt be allowed to fight on adderall it gives u intense energy and focus def an advantage

[I Love Jesus!]

Exceptions should NOT be allowed Period. Adderall is indeed a Performance enhancing drug and making exceptions would open a Pandoras box..I can see fighters taking Testosterone replacement and claiming girly nuts, like Chael Sonnen..

testosterone doesnt even help much in boxing, it actually hurts because u get tired way faster and get much more lactic acid. its not worth it for boxing
