"caffeine... is currently on wadas waiting list of prohibited substances."
"wada added caffeine to its monitoring program for 2017 so experts could study whether athletes are using the substance 'with the intent of enhancing performance'". as if there was really another reason to consume caffeine.
"without more (quote unquote) research, wada cant predict what its threshold might be" . in other word, theyre clueless.

Probably they're gonna ban avoiding sex the night before competition

Now seriously
I doubt they're gonna ban caffeine
coffee brands and energy drinks are just too big to be messed with

The article is misleading and uninformed. Caffeine was not just recently added to the WADA Monitoring Program. It has been on the monitoring list for over 10 years.

Yeah, it could "theoretically" be banned this year just like it could have theoretically been banned anytime over the past decade. Nothing has changed other than reporters unfamiliar with WADA protocols writing sensationalist news stories.

I know boxers can't take it before fights. I thought it was always banned.

Fda put caffeine on lock down recently. You can no longer buy caffeine in bulk powder unless you have a business license.

It means that if your testicles produce too much testosterone, one will have to be excised so that all men can be more equal. Its in the fine print of The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), under ‘excise tax’.

 

[Supermansson11]

Wadas a fuckin joke i need my caffeine

 

[Scamp1052]

But if your a MAN and identify as a WOMAN its totally cool to compete.There's absolutly no competitive edge there lol.

Imagine if WADA was abolished and what new physical milestones will be achieved in the Olympics and other sports. That is when shit will be interesting to watch.
