Any website that chose to plagarize a forum posting, word for word, without attribution or further research to verify what was posted (my original post contains errors regarding caffeine and sudafed being on the WADA banned list, which were later corrected) certainly has credibility problems.

Also, I did write later in this thread that I do NOT believe drug testing should be introduced in tournament poker because drug testing will actually make the doping problem in poker much worse. We have seen with other sports where "undetectable" drugs were introduced by biochemists and their associated hucksters. I personally do NOT want tournament poker to be the next hot market for the services of those biochemists who are in the performance drug trade.
