    what family class of drug is it, and what's it used for? sounds familiar..

    want to say its a corticosteroid, or for ADHD..one or the other.

    yea i remember hearing about a major usage problem in MLB but the story faded. Seems like it would be the best drug for a boxer. There is also a clear kind that can be mixed in water.

    How would Adderal help a boxer? all I know is they give it to ADHD kids and narcolepsy people.

    its an amphetamine drug. Its used in ADHD to speed them up which actually slows them down. (with true ADHD kids)

    At a local boxing gym I'm sure many guys use adderal and ephedrine, you can still buy ephedrine over the counter it's in Primatene Mist tablets for asthma.

    It's banned in professional boxing and is cheating, so hopefully not very many are taking it...

    Because Adderl is speed. Meaning the boxer will be more alert and better able to quickly react.

    Adderall is prescription amphetamines. Very potent upper, widely used in many walks of life. Wouldn't be surprised if boxers used it, dunno the half life and testing windows though.

    In that case wouldn't be surprised if a lot of fighters use it. Don't know about before a fight IMO better to go into the ring calm then pumped up, unless there fighting a guy who doesn't pose a threat.

    The advantage of Adderal over street meth/speed is that it is time relesed if taken correctly so you wont be too high for a short time than crash.

    *this thread is full of people who have probably never taken Adderal before*
