The NFL is facing a surge in Adderall-related suspensions, including New York Giants player Tyler Sash, who tested positive for the stimulant. The use of amphetamines for performance enhancement has a long history, dating back to Benzedrine use on Navy ships during World War II and opium use in ancient armies. Current regulations allow players with pre-existing ADHD diagnoses to use the drug, leading to a trend of athletes seeking medical exemptions before entering professional leagues.
