During the interview, Rodriguez said that in the end he is only trying to clear his name and make people aware. He further added that there are a lot more people out there. The people that were involved and are associated with his company that many of them are unaware of.

Referring to WWE youth icon Roman Reigns Richard said, “He is a very down-to-earth person; however, a situation involved in which … oftentimes when you’re brought to trials — which I was not; I decided to take a plea — however, they disclose discovery. Discovery is basically the proof that they have against you.”

“One thing, one part of the discovery is what’s called tried and true statements, which is basically disclosing everybody whom the investigators or people that were investigating you have spoken to with regards to your company, with regards to you, with regards to any other co-defendants that are associated with the indictment. So that’s one of the reasons why I disclosed him.”

It is to be noted that Adderall is used in the treatment of ADHD and thus is been banned across all the major sporting leagues.
