Why is Adderall banned, anyway? Since when is a drug used to treat hyperactivity considered a performance enhancer? For the record, I am not a fan of that drug, as it seems to turn people into zombies when they're on it. It's hardly anything that should help anyone on the field.

Kenny shouldn't be taking it if it's banned, for the sake of the team, but this is kind of dumb. And as others have already said, who knows what he actually took.

Its banned because it is calming. Has the potential to make you less nervous etc.

I know what it does, that's why I said it's used to treat hyper activity. But more than making you calm, it just makes people sluggish. I knew some people years ago who had a child who was super hyper (imagine that) and they put her on adderall for some reason. That poor little girl looked like someone put a computer chip in her brain and programmed her to be silent. I haven't seen those people in years, and they might have thought they were helping her, but I hated seeing that.

With that in mind, I don't believe for a second that it helps you perform. He shouldn't take it if it's banned, period. We can't afford to have him suspended. And I don't think anyone should take that drug, simply because it is really not good for anyone. But it's not a steroid, and it's not cocaine. I still don't get why it's on the banned list.

The fact that Kenny (might) have knowingly taken a drug he knew was banned is of course a different subject.

Its been found to lower reaction time so players are more focused and can react quicker, no wonder Kenny had been making plays on the ball more often this year.

Because you need a prescription for it. It's an amphetimine. If he took them without a prescription not only is it a violation of league policy but it's also illegal. It's like meth for people without ADD especially if you crush it under a credit card or drivers licence and roll up a dollar bill and snort it.... For people with ADD it can be calming and help with focus. It will keep you inn "the zone" big time.

It also physically enhance your muscles, strength, and endurance with a lot of side effects that can affect your heart and brain if you abuse drugs not to mention it is highly addictive. The drug is used for adhd patients that minds seems to wonder off or simply have a hard time paying attention. If you have kids in sports I highly recommend you keep them away from this drug, the side effects are not worth it.

Adderal effects everyone differently. I can pop some and go out drinking all night, basically cracked out... Some take it and just zone out and focus. If Vacarro was prescribed Adderal, I don't see a problem. PRESCRIBED. Even then... I don't see how it would have that big of an effect on his game.
