She won the BAA 10K last Sunday on a hot day in 31:17. She ran 2:19:12 in setting the American marathon record in January in Houston. The statement from her agency went on to say that her TUE process is “ongoing.”ĭ’Amato, 37, has less than three weeks to prepare for a marathon, but she “is in great shape,” according to her agent, Ray Flynn. Seidel, her coach, and agent did not immediately return calls from Runner’s World. Seidel had applied to WADA for a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) to be able to take the medication when she was competing, but it had not been granted before the New York Mini 10K-and it wasn’t clear if it would be granted-so she withdrew. Seidel wrote that taking the medication was “life changing,” and she was able to “get the quiet, functioning brain in my day-to-day life that I could previously only achieve with intense physical activity.” Adderall is banned for in-competition use by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
On June 8, Seidel, 27, posted to her Instagram account that she had been taking Adderall for ADHD since Boston. A Marathon in 2 Weeks? Keira D’Amato Will Be Ready.
