I don't know the regimen of tests players go through in professional sports, but I've thought for many years that players who depend more on mental sharpness than physical performance (For example a QB in the NFL) are doping to improve mental performance. It always seems the investigations and testing that I hear about or read about in the news revolve around (a) illegal drugs, and (b) drugs that improve physical performance. I've never heard of a case of testing for drugs that improve mental performance.

- perpetualcrayon 9y agoI'm not educated enough in this to specify a single drug / nootropic. It's just always seemed like the professional leagues leave a large gap in coverage of their tests if they are (a) testing for "performance enhancing drugs", and (b) leave out drugs that improve mental performance. If they do test for this type of drug I've just never been made aware of it.
- abecedarius 9y agoIt's a good question.
