5 Times The Legal Limit!
Recently, we were advised that our state and school will be conducting random drug tests on any and all athletes. This is not a school thing so much, but a state thing. So, the school has no idea when the tests will take place. Until they are there.
We were given a huge list of "no-no" drugs. Most of which I have no idea what they are. I think that is a good thing. :-)
The one I did know was Caffeine. I was first shocked that this one was even on the list. I always believed that they were looking for illegal drugs and steroids. I'm kind of wondering if they are wasting our time and money on a caffeine search.
Anyway, the football coach also pointed this out. Probably because every child has a caffeine diet anymore. Coffee, Pop, Tea, and now the aweful energy drinks!
A big favorite for kids is Mountain Dew. I can't drink the stuff. Too thick and sweet for me. Of course, I avoid pop as much as possible anymore. Just seems like a wasted drink - financially and physically.
What the coach said about Mountain Dew really blew my mind. Mountain Dew has 5 Times the legal limit of caffeine in it.
Holy Cow! I do not buy this drink in my home and I think if you have kids - this would be one to keep out of your house. Along with the energy drinks.

I thought this was no big deal--I thought you were talking about college. But holy cow, I think you mean HIGH SCHOOL.
High school athletes are really doping? I feel incredibly out of the loop.
Yes, high school. I don't think we have any dopers in our school. And probably should (JK) we are the tiny people in comparison to our competitors. I've always said it is in our water. :-)
