I mean it's still a PED, just a legal one.

Maybe, but it's a far cry from something like a f2m titchopper taking testosterone or something.

Although if it really was nothing more than being deprived of Ritalin that broke her, that's incredibly pathetic whether it's a legit ADHD diagnosis or not. Maybe she was stupid enough to quit cold turkey instead of weaning herself off of it knowing she wouldn't be allowed to take it in Japan?

Might explain why she's struggled for months if she was trying to ween herself off. It wasn't a sudden thing. She was iffy for a while now.

Joe Rogan breaking news that Simone Biles' withdrawal might be due to the fact that Ritalin, which she takes for severe ADHD, is banned in Japan.

She might have been forced to go off her meds and we all witnessed her mental breakdown on the world stage.

if true, then whoever makes Ritalin, must be having the best day ever. Think about it. It's prefect PR for the drug. It shows the drug is effective and what happens if you don't take it. They should sign her and have a big promo campaign with posters of just her face (one taken Rio 2016 and one in Tokyo 2020 side by side) and three words "it just works". Being a copywriter is the easiest fucking job in the world.

Because apparently I have nothing else to do :

Import / Export Narcotics by carrying | NARCOTICS CONTROL DEPARTMENT

OUR GOAL IS DRUG-FREE WORLD, SAFE LIFE AND SOUND SOCIETY. THE NARCOTICS AGENT
www.ncd.mhlw.go.jp


My understanding :

- Adderall is a cocktail of amphetamines it is 100% banned in Japan.

- Ritalin is a brand name for methylphenidate which is a controlled substance in Japan (psychotropics). Bringing one month worth for personal treatment is authorized with little to no red tape.

Need a citation for this because my googling found this.


Can I Bring Ritalin to Japan?​

In a word: no.

Methylphenidate [MPH] (trade names: Ritalin, Concerta, etc.) is a psychostimulant used in treating individuals with a diagnosis of ADHD in some countries. Neither MPH nor any type of amphetamine-type psychostimulant is lawfully prescribed for the treatment of adult ADHD in Japan.

The lawful use of MPH in Japan is covered by MHLW notices 1026001,1026002, 1026003 issued on 26 Oct. 1997. In principle, the use of MPH for adult ADHD was never allowed in Japan. Currently, the only legal use for MPH in adults is narcolepsy (Ritalin,) and to treat ADHD in children age 6-13 (Concerta.)

Formerly, MPH was used for depression, and this led to abuse, so that use was banned in 2008. A document submitted 29 Nov. 2007 from the Japan Psychiatry Association Ritalin Special Board to the MLHW recommended tapering off over 6 weeks while substituting with antidepressants, therapy, or Pemoline.

The status of MPH for personal importation is unclear, the Yakkan Shomei packet states that one will not be granted for MPH. Importing MPH illegally is a violation of the Controlled Substances Control Law, and carries a penalty of years at hard labor if discovered.

It is known that Biles has been taking some medication for years since her teens years. This is not news. Her medical records were hacked by russians and released years ago.

Apparantly they try to equate to when a bunch of members of the Russian team suddenly were taking heart medications because it increases capilar blood flow, and they got nailed for it.

Ritalin is serious. These brain drugs fuck you up even though psychiatrists hand them out like candy.

The citation is already in my post : the pdf linked is the official list of controlled substances published by the Narcotics Control Departement of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare where you can see methylphenidate is a controlled substance of the class "Psychotropics". The web site linked is the one of the NCS with the details of the procedures for the importation in Japan of controlled substances, including psychotropics. I guess I can provide a direct link to the relevant section : here.

I don't think it contradicts what you posted. Ritalin is not banned in Japan, it's just prescribed differently than in the US. And you do not need to request a Yakkan Shoumei form (roughly, an importation permit) for it unless you bring more than 2.16 grams (source is a table mentioned in the above-linked site), which sounds like a lot to me since the pills contain 10 mg and average intake is 2 or 3 a day (so 775 mg in a month). Your quote seem to imply that Yakkan Shoumei requests for Ritalin are usually refused, but that's probably because it's difficult to argue personal use for a month when you want to bring almost 3 times the average prescribed amount.

Race officials accidentally positioned several runners in the wrong spots. Other runners smart enough to notice and corrected. American woman stayed in wrong spot and got disqualified. After crying and complaining were reinstated.

Mixed relay is fun because you see how slow the women are.

What the fuck is it with top athletes being pussies and flaking recently? Handling the pressure at the highest levels of competition's a massive part of being a top athlete, it's a load of bollocks to wrap them in cotton wool. If you're not mentally capable of competing, fuck off home or preferably don't join the team to begin with.

Tranny weightlifter competing on Monday, that should be interesting.

46% chance he offs himself immediately before or after the competition.

Or maybe it's higher since they're in japan. Doesn't Japan have the highest suicide rates in the world?
