[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 530280, member: 14306"] Stimulants in anti doping rules can be managed. A system of medical authorization can be put in place for your son, I don't know its name in English but I am sure that it exists. In French, it is called AUT, [U]Autorisation d'Usage Thérapeutique[/U]. It means that the person takes a medicine which can be a doping substance because of medical reasons : if your son has this paper, he cannot have any disciplinary procedure because he took this medicine to compete (stimulants for ADHD, Ventolin for asthma etc etc....). Alain Bernard, a French swimmer who suffers from ADHD, has had this authorization to take his medicine while competing in swimming (even at Olympic Games). Just to make you know that it exists, and don't listen to his coach about any medicine advice : medical stuff are non of his coach's business, your son handles this problem with his doctor and you, not with his coach (a coach is not a MD, nor a psychiatrist, so medical advice from a coach has to be taken for what it is : not the God's parole). Your son's psychiatrist has to very carefully document the whole stuff, but it is feasible. So, you're right to take care of it, but don't worry too much about it because your son is not the only sporty who takes stimulants for ADHD in competition (Alain Bernard does the same, and it didn't prevent him to be an Olympic champion). If your son has too many side effects or he does not respond to stimulants, non stimulant medication can be an alternative too. Just to make you know that it exists. [/QUOTE]
