    Originally posted by gull80 Caffeine is no longer on the list of prohibited substances. Do you have any idea what is meant by the statement: "The substances included in the 2005 Monitoring Program (bupropion, caffeine, phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine, pipradrol, pseudoephedrine, synephrine) are not considered as Prohibited Substances." ? Is this saying that they monitor them, but there are no consequences if they're detected? If so, why do they bother monitoring them? It appears that there are no banned supplements, though there are restrictions on serum levels of at least a couple. Bob
