SlasheR & ACHES call for CDL to take action over Adderall use among CoD pros ActivisionAfter LA Thieves\u2019 Cuyler \u2018Huke\u2019 Garland\u2019s admission to using Adderall throughout a stint in his Call of Duty career, a number of top pros and community members came out to call for a major change in the CDL. Huke\u2019s admission came after a trying few months for the young star, which saw him struggle on Dallas Empire before a move to LA Thieves and a fairly prompt benching. He\u2019s received heaps of support from the community, including fans and other pros, and even earned his spot back on the LAT starting roster for the remainder of Stage 4. As well as that, it caused some serious conversations to be had among the community over the use of Adderall, and several players called for drug testing to be introduced and for the CDL to take action. Among those is Huke\u2019s current Thieves teammate, Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat, who has also been reinstated to the roster alongside him. \u201cI\u2019ve been calling for something to be done since 2013,\u201d he said, a regular requester of more regulation around substance usage in the pro CoD scene. \u201cWish I coulda played against some of these ppl [sic] sober.\u201d I\u2019ve been calling for something to be done since 2013.. All natural brotha wish I coulda played against some of these ppl sober. They probably would be visually shaking on stage lol tbh glad Cuyler spoke on it \u2014 SlasheR (@SlasheR_AL) June 9, 2021 Two-time world champion Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price also released a lengthy statement on the matter, saying that Huke\u2019s video \u201csparks a serious bigger question.\u201d He said: \u201cThe CDL has been warned since its inception from numerous people about Adderall and the need to drug test to actually enforce it. Even though they admitted it\u2019s against the rules, they\u2019ve disregarded and turned a blind eye since Day 0 (before the CDL even began). I feel like NOW they have to act.\u201d Doug \u2018Censor\u2019 Martin also had some thoughts on the matter. After tweeting that he was hopeful for a system to drug test players, he went on to post a video explaining his thoughts. \u201cI think it\u2019s really important the Call of Duty League can do something, if there\u2019s anything they can do, because it\u2019s so easy to make an impression on a player to make them think if they want to perform at the highest level, they need to take this drug. The bottom line is, they don\u2019t. I think we need more players to talk about the fact you don\u2019t need it.

With some of the biggest names in the scene calling for change, this might be the start of something big for the future of the CDL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
