[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 530364, member: 14306"] I've heard your concerns. However, if a specialist, here a psychiatrist who really knows the why and the hows about ADHD, helps the team doctors about papers for authorization, it is still feasible. His psychiatrist has to talk with the team's doctor, because the team doctor is not a specialist of ADHD, and the psychiatrist is not a specialist about anti doping rules. So they [U]really have[/U] to talk together to sort out this situation and help find out the best solution for your son. The suspects you are talking about can be alleviated if you give too much documentation than too little. It won't be as suspicious as you think if everything is documented as much as possible, and if both doctors can speak to sort out a solution. Better too much documentation than too little, and I tell you from personal experience with administrative folks and their misconceptions (I've seen a lot in these years I am fighting to make a law change, so I can relate on the suspicion you are talking about). I tell you because in France, ADHD is not a recognized diagnosis to adults (some doctors even permit themselves to claim that "it's a diagnosis for excusing parents who are failure to love and raise their children, and Social Services would had done better than those good for nothing"). So it leads to incredibly complicated administrative situations, for example with my driving license (if you add the law badly written about driving and stimulants, you have a complete picture of the current mess in my country. I am fighting to make it change, with some success). So your son's situation is far from desperate, but to help it sort out from a sport point of view, [U]team doctor and your son's psychiatrist have to absolutely speak together[/U] to sort out a solution. They cannot work each one in their own corner and expect your son to be a good sporty at the same time. Otherwise, this problem won't be solved : like soccer, it's a team work to find out a solution with this problem. If you encounter a problem with the team's doctor, don't be afraid of going above, so the federation. If you don't treat your son because you fear of consequences for his sport, whereas he puts himself in a compulsive gambling, the consequences are far worse than the initial problem. So for the medicine's problem, don't be afraid of talking above (the federation) to raise this issue. The team's doctor may had not seen such a situation before, but at the federation, they surely saw this situation and more than once. (sadly, I learnt this trick of going above the hard way, with my own administrative fights and their sometimes dreadful consequences) [/QUOTE]
