Red Bull Not A Banned Substance

Red bull, the little can so frequently seen in gear bins and race transition areas, has become the first company to have a product certified as "OK to consume and not test positive for banned substances"; it's a new program the government has implemented.  From the previous link:
"Certification Addresses Athletes' Fear of Unknowingly Testing Positive For Banned Substances and Desire for Higher Quality Supplements and Nutritional Products"
So, drink your Red Bull in good conscience.  There has never been much talk of drug testing in AR (but Recover-Ease and some other supplements might push the envelope, but everyone maintains the stuff is free of banned substances), but I know lots of people swear by a Red Bull every now and then!
