I think it's funny that contaminated caffeine was the defense, since caffeine is a PED.
caffeine is not on the banned substance list, this year. it is part of the monitoring program, therefore there are no penalties if/when it is found in a drug test, at any concentration.
you can argue that it does enhance performance, but it doesn't currently meet the definition of a PED, at least according to WADA.
