Adderall Causing Most Positive Tests

While 113 big leaguers had exemptions in the past year to use otherwise banned substances to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Adderall caused eight of the 10 positive tests for stimulants under Major League Baseball's drug program.

That's according to a report released Monday by MLB's independent program administrator that detailed the findings. Dr. Jeffrey M. Anderson's report showed that therapeutic use exemptions given to 40-man roster players to treat ADHD were down from the 119 in the year ending with the 2013 World Series.
