Esctasy is a performance enhancing drug?

[nezo]

I just read somewhere that Esctasy is classed as a performance enhancing drug along with Cocaine, heroin, steriods etc.
Maybe I'm wrong but can some explain to me how MDMA (let's pretend that when they refer to Ecstasy they mean just MDMA and nothing else) enhances performance ie on the cricket / footy / track field?

I'm just trying to imagine what would happen if a boxer dropped a pill half an hour before stepping into the ring......

 

[mona]

Here hun-nee just take this, love me long time.

What? Hang on mona you're not talking about dancing are you?

you evil twisted person. lol.

My guess would be because it's a stimulant.

It's a stimulant and can reduce pain and inhibition and increase confidence I guess. ALthough I can't see how eye wiggles would help the cause any

I'll bet world class snooker players would disagree.

I'd just love to see how loved up a golfer would be if they kept fucking up due to intense eye wobbles.

Yeah imagine basketball players taking MDMA while playing.
The cheerleaders would be out of a job because the players would start dancing at half time

I'm more amazed that they include heroin in that list.

Just a bit of research in the topic:

I think it either comes under the narcotics class (masks pain) or is a stimulant class (no need to explain that one).
Case closed I guess...

I tried bowling just before going out with a mate... each of us had railed a point of MDMA powder.
Scores were terrible, but the two of us got thru 3 games in 25 mins or so... a new record

Then we went clubbing and rocked

Beats me why anyone would want to take MDMA to boost their performance. Going on our scores, its the sort of thing youd give to a competitor to screw them up.

No way! MDMA would be great for endurance sports like long distance running or swimming. Help keep your mind off the monotony too. The hyperthermia dangers would make it somewhat prohibitive though.
