This is not about use of steroids justa question of concern
my friend was recently diagnosed with narcolepsy and has been
prescribed modafinil
this is what i found out on wikipedia
Doping agentModafinil has received some publicity in the past when several athletes (such as sprinter Kelli White in 2004, cyclist David Clinger [40] and basketball player Diana Taurasi[41] in 2010) were discovered allegedly using it as a performance-enhancing doping agent. (Taurasi and another player, Monique Coker, tested at the same lab, were later cleared.[42]) It is not clear how widespread this practice is. The BALCO scandal brought to light an as-yet unsubstantiated (but widely published) account of Major League Baseball's all-time leading home-run hitter Barry Bonds' supplemental chemical regimen that included Modafinil in addition to anabolic steroids and human growth hormone.[43] Modafinil has been shown to prolong exercise time to exhaustion while performing at 85% of VO2max and also reduces the perception of effort required to maintain this threshold.[44] Modafinil was added to the World Anti-Doping Agency "Prohibited List" in 2004 as a prohibited stimulant (see Modafinil Legal Status).
I have advised my friend of this as he was looking to compete in some imf sanctioned muay thai fights and doesnt want to break any laws or be seen as a cheat
