Actuall red bull has an energy vitamin in it but i forgot the name so it is bascially like cheating

Answer 3

no and most athletes probably arent drinking it becaseu of the sugar and the craxh you get afterwards

Answer 4

That would mean soda,gatorade, because they all give you energy because of sugar and caffine.  

Answer 5

No most defintely not, thats the easiest question I have ever answered.

Answer 6

Actually, I remember learning in health class recently that you cannot have any caffeine in your system to compete in the Olympics. At that level, it is considered cheating.

Answer 7

Red Bull is a marketing success. sorry to break it to you, but it doesn't actually give you more energy or make you grow wings and fly.

But it does contain caffeine and I thought that was a banned substances - so it is possible that the athlete would fail their doping test provided that their caffeine levels were raised enough in thier blood.

Debate doesn't continue on banning caffeine. Caffeine is banned as a masking agent - it is a diurentic and as such can be used to hide the taking of other banned agents.

Edit: Besides modern teams employ nutritionists who make sure the athletes get a proper diet. They are going to get more energy from a proper diet than from a can of red bull

Edit: gurana only exists in some marketing executives mind. Try this at home - don't believe everything you see in advertisements

Answer 8

Of course....not just more energy....it will actually give you wings....imagine that.

Answer 9

No. If this was the case, all food would be cheating. What a dumb question.
