A loophole in plain sight
Levine pointed out that these meds are taken seriously — even banned — in certain fields unless a formal diagnosis is proven.
“In Olympic sports, you need to apply for an exemption and demonstrate you have ADHD. Otherwise, you are disqualified,” he said.
“One can only guess there are some that claim a diagnosis to improve their ability and concentration in a sport.”
So, what now? For Levine, the message is simple: ADHD should absolutely be treated — but with more caution, more oversight and less blind trust in pills.
