False

Explanation:

Amphetamines are known as enhancers or stimulants, which means that they speed up the messages travelling between the brain and the body.

This drug causes a better reaction time or improved physical capacities when in a competition, which is what athletes are looking for after all. Even though certatin types of amphetamines are legal, none of them are used as physical enhancers for athletic events.
