hello, i have a medical condition called attention efecit
decorder........it allows me to display incredible bursts of phisical
energy. the medication for this brain condition is methamphetamine
(speed, cocain like drug) which has a calming effect on me instead of
the usual hyper effect......my question is if i take part in a marathon
without using my medication will my medication still be in my system
months after taking it and will i get disqualified if it is?....i have
been told that these type of drugs forever stay locked in skin cells
whilst the rest of the body eventually flushes them. the skin cells
break down when weight is lost and the drugs are re released into the
blood stream. does this rule me out of running professionally? and is
there any truth behind this?

many thanks in advance

You are talking about possible drug tests and hopes of professional
running. I can't really answer your questions but I am interested in
your race times - you have to be pretty darn good to run as a pro.
Perhaps your coach (I assume you have one) can offer advice.

Yeah, I caught that. I'm thinking troll is the right word for this post.

BTW- I too have attention deficit disorder and lately it's been really bad
and
 
If the speed has a reverse effect on you, then what's with all the
run-on sentences?
 
what on earth makes you think anyone here could answer this?
