Years from now, we’ll remember this as the first salvo in what was to become the 2014 WSOP Doping Scandal
Paul Philips:
This year, I have a new chemical weapon: Modafinil. Like Adderall, it stimulates wakefulness and enhances focus but without the annoying side effects of an amphetamine—for me, reduced appetite and insomnia. Drugs are not a substitute for healthy living habits, but the WSOP isn’t a spa. With Modafinil, I feel well-rested even on limited sleep, and during a weeklong tournament it’s pretty much impossible to sleep properly. Through judicious use of both I can operate at my full potential for days on end.
