    Is adderall allowed if you have a legit case of ADHD and prescription from doctors?

    25 games for adderall and only 50 games for hgh and other steroids? I think the 25 game ban is absolutely ridiculous. I understand that they want to warn other players of how harsh the penalty is but missing half as many games as a steroid user is way too much. Guy should be missing 10 games at max especially considering he is a position player and not a pitcher. If anything fine the guy a large some of money but no way should he be missing that many games. If adderall is 25 games steroid usage should be at least 75-80 games.

    If you think about it 25 games is nothing compared to 4 games in the NFL

    not sure why adderall usage is such a big deal. It is a known fact that millions of college students around the US use it it is fairly easy to get a prescription for it considering how everyone has trouble focusing these days. I think the league (NBA,NFL,MLB) need to put stricter rules in place and put stricter rules in place about who can use adderall& ritalin and who can't.
