Caffeine and Beetroot

Single and combined effects of beetroot juice and caffeine supplementation on cycling time trial performance

Summary is Caffeine helps, beet juice not so much (actually a slight negative).

Nothing earth shattering, but nice to have the confirmation.

Caffeine is amazing.

While consumed by pretty much everyone, I don't think it is as crazy as it used to be though.

Back when it was banned I believe that there was a case where someone had tested positive with the equivalent of 18 cups of coffee in their system, and there was talk of direct muscular injection.

That kind of abuse seems more suited to the pursuit of a Darwin award, however.
