Swimming-Brazil's world champ Cielo tests positive, escapes

I'm not naive enough to believe that PEDs aren't in our sports, but it always sucks when things like this pop up ... www.reuters.com/.../swimming-brazil-doping-idUSLDE76100420110702. Say it ain't so, Cesar.

    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. It's a drug that enhances performance.
