– According to the Wrestling Observer, Roman Reigns was suspended for violating the WWE Wellness Policy after he tested positive for Adderall.
While the drug is used to treat ADHD, it is banned by most sports leagues – including the NFL, MLB and NCAA – because it can mask fatigue and pain, and it can make people more alert.
It was noted that it’s not an official report since WWE doesn’t release the substances a performer failed a Wellness test for, but this was reportedly confirmed by multiple sources that this was what was being said around the WWE locker room.
Here is a description for the uses of Adderall from WebMD:
This combination medication is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – ADHD. It works by changing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain. Amphetamine/dextroamphetamine belongs to a class of drugs known as stimulants. It can help increase your ability to pay attention, stay focused on an activity, and control behavior problems. It may also help you to organize your tasks and improve listening skills.
This drug is also used to treat a certain sleeping disorder (narcolepsy) to help you stay awake during the day. It should not be used to treat tiredness or to hold off sleep in people who do not have a sleep disorder.
– Brock Lesnar was planned to be removed from last night’s WWE Smackdown Live before his UFC drug test failure, according to the Observer.
Lesnar was reportedly off the show a few days before his test results were revealed; he was originally scheduled to return to TV in August, but WWE stated his next appearance would be at WWE Summerslam.
