    Time to ban this type of doping. Noone should be forced to use any drugs to be able to play any sport professionally.

      3mg per kg and let’s say they weigh 75kg, so that’s 225mg of caffeine.

      Google differs on how much coffee has, but seems like 80-100mg according to the fda.

      So this is basically 2.5 cups of coffee. That doesn’t seem excessive to me.

      Where do you draw the line to call this doping vs just being a human?

        Who said it was excessive?
        Caffeine is a PED. It (like other PEDs) either becomes regulated or mandatory.
