The prescription of Adderall poses unique complications for student-athletes. The medicine is widely abused by young people as both a party drug and as a performance enhancer. As such, it is banned for use by athletes by the NCAA. While athletes can get a waiver, the process requires many weeks and hundreds of dollars to obtain through an approved medical provider.
The abuse of Adderall is hurting student-athlete who truly need it.
According to university officials, many of these issues could be solved by the medical community. The head trainer for the University of Montana suggests that there is often a lack of needed paperwork verifying medical need is missing because physicians prescribe Adderall without completing appropriate testing. University of Montana softball player McKenna McGill also points out that it is not often possible to complete the NCAA approved waiver process due to limited availability of campus health care providers.
