I admit I am unknowledgeable when it comes to adderall and its effects and after effects.

Will not taking it have any influence on Gray's performance?

If he has been taking it for a while, say...for the entire season, and he doesn't take it now, how will that make him feel physically and mentally?

And lastly, what will prevent him from taking it prior to pitching against us? Is he subjected to being tested again since the test he failed was for MLB and not OU or the NCAA and apparently they don't care if he takes it?

I honestly think the only negative effect it will have on him is that he will be pressing to prove to the MLB scouts that it wasn't performance enhancing. He may try to do too much, and cave.

Probably not. He will still be throwing 98 MPH all night.

What is Adderall?


Adderall contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. Both these medicines are central nervous system stimulants that affect chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control.

Adderall is used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Adderall may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

If he has been on it for a while and had to quit cold turkey you can bet your arse it will affect his pitching and his head. Anyone who says otherwise has never taken Adderall.

Are they gonna test him before this weekend? What's keeping him from using it for the Supers if they aren't going to test?

nothing will prevent him from continueing to take this substance while the college baseball season is going on. he's been "busted" so why stop now? if it isn't against college rules, he'd be a fool to quit until the mlb authority takes over.

This is hypothetical and not reality, he WILL be taking it.

Don't know if this has been answered. Is Oklahoma allowing Gray to take it Friday?

I don't know much about adderall, either, it will look he is hurling aspirins to the plate.
