A week ago, news broke that performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) were being widely used in the burgeoning world of eSports. In a video interview with Mohan Govindasamy, “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive” player Kory “Semphis” Friesen proclaimed that he used Adderall at a recent tournament, along with many other players.
“I don’t even care—we were all on Adderall,” he said.
The prize money for the tournament in Poland was $250,000.
In the wake of this interview, the Electronic Sports League (ESL) has decided to start administering tests for PEDs.
