As I understand it many top R/Race riders and Triathletes, knock back 5 or 6 x-strong short blacks just prior to racing to dose themselves up on caffiene. As I see it this can be a very dangerous practice particularly as they probably, like most of us, already have significant levels of caffiene in thier systems from a coffee addiction. Could this mabey have serious long term consequences if practiced over a significant time frame?
Remember these people are pushing their bodies to the limit while under the influence of this drug.
Something to think about?
