I was reading a list of substances banned by the ASP in their new in-event testing policy and came across alcohol! Really!!!!!!!!!! Alcohol! Bad enough mary jane on the list but johny walker and jim beam too? Wtf, how could a hangover or intoxication possibly enhance performance. What's next? Coffee, sugar, red meat?
All kidding aside coffee could possibly be banned eventually. Not saying it will or wont just saying that a lot of organizations consider caffeine a "performance enhancing drug." i know when i played football in college we had a kid on my team fail a test and loose a year of eligibility because he drank soda constantly and had too much caffeine in his system (caffeine is on the NCAA banned substance list along with 200+ other things i have never even heard of.) Like i said i dont know if the ASP will go to this extent but its not out of the realm of possibility.
Caffeine will never be on the list because of Red Bull and Monster. To much money involved there. As far as the alcohol...... Would you want someone drunk off their ass dropping in on you at say.........Pipe......I think not. I'm sure they arent saying you cant have a cold one period. Just be alcohol free come contest time.
because these people are roll models to millions of kids... not to say that drinking is wrong or they should not be allowed to but they should never be in public drinking that can be seen on live television by millions. just my .02. it is just bad publicity
