Baseball turns its attention to Adderall as analysis shows more players gaining exemptions for ADD

December 14, 2010

Major League Baseball banned amphetamines in 2006, but players still apparently feel the need for speed. Thirteen players tested positive for the amphetamine-based drug Adderall in the past season, and 105 were granted exemptions for attention deficit disorder, for which Adderall is frequently prescribed. The exemptions excuse players in advance for banned substances they take on doctor’s orders. (New York Daily)
