Anyone have any idea what energy drinks will or won’t cause you to fail a drug test in the USAPL? I know caffeine is allowed, but I’m sure there is some with added things that wouldn’t be allowed. It’s hard to find a source for this info.
This might help.
There’s a section on energy drinks.
seriously…energy drinks??

Yeah, seriously. I’d check everything. I usually check on http://www.globaldro.org/
Out of meet testing in Canada it’s not an issue but in meet, I’d make sure anything like that doesn’t contain Dimethylamylamine or an equivalent. In the last year, we’ve had two lifters suspended for testing positive for it. It’s banned by WADA for use in meet. Not to be too Pollyanna, but it’s the lifters responsibility to ensure he/she doesn’t take anything on the banned list whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Just drink black coffee.
Its more of a supplement than an energy drink, but I think JACK’D is banned by the WUDA. Pretty silly.

It is for sure banned. It has Dimethylamylamine in it. I believe Razor8 does as well as betanox. I will use those training but won’t go near it leading up to a meet. I make sure I read everything on the label. There has been a lot of discussion in our national fed with the recent suspensions. Right or wrong it’s on the list so you have to pay attention.
next your going to say that Obama is one of their head judges:)
I can’t find spike on there.
