Consumers of Adderall are less criticized than steroid users

The National Football League is not allowed to disclose details, when players fail drug tests. It is only affirmed that certain persons have been caught taking prohibited medicines. But the League must not disclose which substances have been taken by these athletes. So, some football players lie about drugs that have caused positives.
Why do several football players choose to lie about preparations that have been used by them? Let try to understand.
Numerous football players who fail drug tests claim that they have administered Adderall. In fact, they have administered steroids. Why do they claim that they have tested positive for Adderall? What does Adderall represent? This is a product which is applied to treat attention-deficit disorder. But this preparation is used not only for this therapeutic need. Sportspersons and bodybuilders administer this preparation for athletic goals.
As for anabolic steroids, they are harshly demonized. Numerous reporters, experts, anti-doping officials and ordinary individuals claim that these medications are very dangerous. They may lead to different severe undesirable consequences. Steroids are blamed even for certain crimes. But when it comes to Adderall, this medicine is not demonized in the society. Thus, a lot of football players try to prevent criticism. They don’t desire to be demonized for application of such banned medicines, as anabolic steroids. Since users of Adderall are not criticized harshly, football players claim that they have failed drug tests because they have taken Adderall.
A football player compared this situation with following cases: those who are detained with cocaine tell others that they have taken marijuana because cocaine is more harshly blamed than the last one.
You should not think that every football player that says that he has tested positive for Adderall has really administered steroids. But it is possible to conclude that those that administer Adderall are less blamed than those who administer steroids.
