Here's the example of Balotelli, an athlete that might have ADHD. I've even found an article claiming precisely that: https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/football/618456/kop-stars-...

Well, his career is seriously troubled because of his behaviour. Which suggests that the ability to focus and manage impulses and delay gratification has an important impact on an athlete's success. Therefore any drug that can enhance focus has also an impact on the success of a professional athlete, I think there can be little doubt about that.

Well, duh. But ACL reconstruction or anti-psychotics can also be very beneficial, nobody in their right mind has ever argued that athletes shouldn't have access to modern medicine because we're pretending they represent primal humanity or whatever.
