Re: Caffeine In Sports
[ QUOTE ]
Caffeine is a controlled substance in fencing precisely because it helps alertness and explosive movement. I'm not sure just how high the level is - I've heard wildly different stories (ie highest I heard was it was equivalent of 30 cups a day, lowest was "one redbull before a match and you're at risk of failing") [/ QUOTE ] This is insanely stupid. Why not ban healthy eating and training while they are at it. Those are certainly performance enhancing.

You might as well just let people bring a gun instead of a sword.

IMO is a substance is legal, and harmless, then it should be allowed.
