    Why? Because everyone there is either cheating or on something.

    Caffeine is legal and not banned by most sporting jurisdictions, so if that’s the only thing you can take to enhance performance – you take it.

    With a caffeine addiction, I can skirt Top 6% and lie to myself that I deserve that position.
