I’m a bit apprehensive every time I see one of these amphetamine posts. There’s been the odd troll who’ll accuse Bautista & Encarnacion of steroids. This is bullshit. ‘Roids do nothing to produce an abrupt change from crappy hitter to elite slugger. If those two guys get nailed for anything its far more likely going to be some of the stuff you see listed on this post. Every time I click on one of these things I think “Not Bautista! Not E5! PLEEEEASE!” So far so good. Here’s hoping their urine remains as blameless as a spring lamb’s.

The methylhexaneamine stuff is a “fat burner”, often hidden in ordinary dietary supplements that you buy at “nutrition” stores. Other one’s Ritalin (as mentioned).

I’d go w/ the Ritalin personally.
