Simone Biles' Withdrawal From the Olympics

Um, that girl, that amazing gymnast who everybody's shitting on. Simone Biles. Yeah, because she just bailed on the Olympics. She was like, can't take anymore. I was just reading that she regularly takes ADHD medication and they said that she can no longer take it because in Japan you can't take this stuff. She takes Ritalin. Find out if this is true because if that is the case, they said that during the last Olympics, I guess 2016, she took this stuff and she won a bunch of gold medals. Yeah. And now, because she's regularly on this. Right. This is her medication. And so they're saying she can't because... Japan. Japan. Japan is, it's illegal to take, whether it's Adderall or Ritalin. I think it's illegal to take those in Japan. So weird. I was reading today. How cultures have their different... Yeah. I mean, you could buy panties in a vending machine, but you can't take Ritalin? Well, I think they're very sensitive to amphetamines because amphetamines and methamphetamines were the reason why the Kamikazes were willing to fucking fly their planes right into boats. Fucking grit in their teeth the whole way. Boom. That's why Lexus probably does so well because if you mess up at the factory, you have to walk off a plank because of honor. They're in honor. Really? I don't know if that's true, but it is. They don't fuck. I've had three Lexuses in my life. They never break. They're so good. They're so good. They're the best cars. So this is from the last Olympics. Okay. Simone Biles addresses leaked medical records and ADHD misconceptions. U.S. gymnast superstar Simone Biles was in a different kind of spotlight Tuesday after Russian hackers circulated confidential medical reports in the World Anti-Doping Agency database that showed her use of methylphenate, a stimulant used to treat ADHD. Biles, 19, was forced to publicly address her ADHD and her approval of the use of medication after a leak. I have ADHD and I've taken medicine for it since I was a kid. Please know I believe in a clean sport. I've always followed the rules. I will continue to do so as far as play. As fair play, it's critical to sport and it's very important to me. So she's been on this medication for a long time. But see if you can find that an article that says she was not allowed to take this ADHD medication in Japan because that's what they were saying. They were saying that during this Olympics, they told her she has to get off of it. If that's the case, that would greatly contribute to her anxiety and her mental problems that she's having. Imagine if you're on a medication for at least five years, right? She's been on since 2016 and then all of a sudden they tell you you can't be on it anymore and you have to compete in the Olympics. You're used to being on this medication. Yeah, no, that'll cause you some strife. But this could be fishy. They're saying they treated for ADHD, but what if this is like a drug that makes them super focused? Well, it does make you super focused. Super focused. I'm sure it does. That's why they say pitchers can't take it. Pictures want to take Adderall. Hackers used to take greenies, which were basically like some sort of- Emphatamines. Emphatamines. So this could be a similar kind of scandal where the Russian hackers, freaking Russians, the Russians and the Chinese are just like, they're beating us online, dude. They're like Yago and Othello and they're just kind of manipulating us and hacking our shit. But I think about it, it's like Yanis and what's his name from Slovenia is like the best bet. The rest of the world is beating us in everything. Look now, our gymnasts are retiring because they're sad. I don't see, this is what everybody's saying about that girl. I think a thing about that girl is her ADHD medication. The deepest I could find was people discussing that and that. So then I outside looked up Ritalin in Japan, turns up that currently the only drug used to treat ADHD that is legal in Japan is called concerta, while Ritalin is available in Japan to treat sleep disorders. It's not prescribed for ADHD. Imagine giving you speed for sleep disorders. What? But it's not illegal though, right? It says it's then going into it says it's you maybe could get it. It's very hard to get and then she could be not on it because it was hard for her to get a TUE because Japan rules Trump, Olympic rules. I think that's what's going on. If you go to, I believe it was Chris Bell's Instagram page. I saw him tweet it, but I think you go to big strong fast. He on Instagram, I think Chris Bell covered it and he's discussing what exactly is happening with that girl. So that's something that people needed to take it. So many people are shitting on her online and calling her a coward. It's disgusting. You have no idea what's going on in her head. She's supposed to play when she's suicidal. She's supposed to play when she's freaking out. She's supposed to do gymnastics when she's literally losing her mind. When people get off prescription drugs like Jordan Peterson was fucked up for a whole year when he was trying to get off benzodiazepine. I don't know what it's like to get off Ritalin, but I would imagine it's not fun. Right. Yeah, it's withdrawal. Yeah. Who knows? The stuff that that girl has done. I mean, she's the goat by a lot. I mean, she does stuff that's superhuman. Here it goes. Simone Biles, ADHD meds among common drugs banned from Olympics. So Simone Biles has revealed that she has ADHD and takes Ritalin for it. Correction is first told. Adderall in the article has looked it up. It's Ritalin. Very similar. He says, sorry. She received a therapeutic use exemption for in 2016 and took home four gold medals in Rio. Fast forward to Tokyo 2020 and Ritalin and Adderall is 100% illegal in Japan under all circumstances including therapeutic use. It is unfortunate because I'm sure we'd love to see her compete, but it makes sense that she couldn't focus. That does make sense. See, now why are we not hearing this? Why am I getting this only from Chris Bell, who by the way, made an incredible documentary, bigger, stronger, faster, which is a documentary on steroids and then another documentary, Prescription Thugs, which is about prescription medication. He does great shit. So I guess at this point it's either that's true or what Jamie pulled up before is true. Like we're not sure because Jamie's saying the article he wrote is that it's not an illegal. I bet it might be illegal for competition. It might be illegal as a therapeutic use exemption. You might not be able to get one of those. Whatever Chris is saying. But it's a complicated story. It's not, I mean, this girl, she won four gold medals in Rio. She's not a chicken. She's the best of all time by all people's accounts. Aren't they changing rules because she could do shit that other people can't do? Right? Yeah. She like flies through the air. It's incredible. There's a video that was describing how they're literally altering the rules to make what she does less impressive or less, the scores less, whatever. I don't follow gymnastics. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, most people don't until the Olympics. I mean, that's the thing about Olympic sports. These people, that must be a weird come down. The whole world's watching and then you got to go back to working at Panera Bread. That's weird. Yeah. You're just a swimmer or like a shot put guy. You win a gold and then you're just back to handing out buzzers. How much money do you make for a shot put? I don't think they make anything for the Olympics. You win the Olympics and then what? You just teach shot put to people that also can't make money? Catch new episodes of the Joe Rogan Experience for free only on Spotify. Watch back catalog JRE videos on Spotify, including clips.
