The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday warned that a federal indictment of an allegedly fraudulent telehealth company may lead to a massive, nationwide disruption in access to ADHD medicationsβ€”namely Adderall, but also other stimulantsβ€”and could possibly increase the risk of injuries and overdoses.

"A disruption involving this large telehealth company could impact as many as 30,000 to 50,000 patients ages 18 years and older across all 50 US states," the CDC wrote in its health alert.

The CDC warning came on the heels of an announcement from the Justice Department Thursday that federal agents had arrested two people in connection with an alleged scheme to illegally distribute Adderall and other stimulants through a subscription-based online telehealth company called Done Global. Β The company's CEO and founder, Ruthia He, was arrested in Los Angeles, and its clinical president, David Brody, was arrested in San Rafael, California.

Not your typical combat sports athlete

Mikey "Darth Rigatoni" Musumeci is the current ONE Championship flyweight (135 lb) submission grappling champion, as well as a five time black belt jiujitsu world champion - but he probably doesn't match most people's mental picture of what someone like that looks like or acts like.

He's been open about his struggles with depression, how his ADHD affects his training, and his challenges 'fitting in' when growing up. He also has strong opinions on the widespread usage of steroids in jiu-jitsu, as well as his self-image as a 'nerd', disordered eating, and masculinity in martial arts (link has a login popup, but it can be closed after 5 seconds and the full article will load). In 2022 he had a successful debut in ONE Championship, a Singapore based promotion that offers submission grappling in addition to MMA, Muay Thai, and Kickboxing. Some of his highlights there include submitting legendary grappler Shinya Aoki with a move that Aoki pioneered, avenging one of his only career losses last night with a calf slicer, and toying with Mark Zuckerberg as one might a small child. His older sister Tammi has a lower public profile, but she's also a world champion in jiu-jitsu, and has recently joined her brother in ONE Championship - after a small detour to graduate law school.
