Yeah, it's extremely likely people are already using shit like this. The Inspired to Ride, Trans Am film with 'the Italians' had a bit where it was hinted at by Juliana Buhring (it didn't seem to be in jest but who knows). It's tested for over here in CTT events (a 12hr "champ" was busted for Modafinil specifically) but no one does testing in ultras unless they're the big supported ones like RAAM and RAA, etc.

Following on from the conversation about sleep in the AMR, is there any suggestion that such punishing sleep schedules might increase the likelihood of riders taking alertness drugs like modafinil etc? Obviously this strikes me as undesirable but it would be pretty hard to check up on and the incentives would increase if races became a “staying awake” competition.
