On On3 this morning Sean said he believed Nouili was suspended because there was a banned substance in a sports recovery drink that he consumes.

When the NCAA updated the banned substance list 1-2 years ago, there was a stink about how this might happen. They banned guarana, a stimulant that is found in a numbers of sports recovery products (e.g. Celsius).

I don't get it.
 
It feels like Dean is wrong but idk. That seems common enough that we would have had a ton of suspensions across sports
Celsius, on their website, says there is no documented case of a ban being due to their product, but they also suggest you don't have more than 2 cans a day if you're concerned.
 
guarana is technically caffeine. which is again technically a banned substances. However, it is a limit ban instead of a totality ban.

Although guarana extract was the main culprit of the Celsius ban, remember that one of the substances that is restricted by the NCAA is caffeine. Now, do not worry if you are an athlete who likes to drink coffee, soda, or tea. The NCAA allows athletes to drink caffeine, they just have a limit on how much can be consumed. The NCAA allows for 15 micrograms per milliliter of caffeine concentration. This is about 500mg of caffeine or 6 to 8 cups of coffee 2 to 3 hours before an event. There are some products that athletes should stay away from because they have high amounts of caffeine in them, including Red Bull, Pre-workout products, and even Gatorade energy gummies.

IIRC (I don't know where I heard this - good friend of mine lived near some OL last season) I think it did have something to do with Red Bull... but I don't think he would be suspended an entire season because of it. Has to be more to it.

Very interesting. Guzzled Red Bull and never failed an NCAA administered drug test.
 
i am currently studying NCAA compliance (my dream job is to be compliance director, weird I know) there are a lot of ways around banned substances, especially guarana. He would have had to be drinking a shit ton of drinks or taking pills. Plus the sports nutritionist should have educated them on these. A lot of products do not state the exact ingredients so one of the nutritionist/compliance jobs is to monitor and educate.

when I lived in Texas, my daughter dove for a club that was coached by the then US Olympic diving coach and a lot of her teammates were Olympians. Because of that our club hosted the US meet on the FINA international meet schedule for a couple of years and I was meet manager. It was really strange to see the officials from FINA stayed glued to the competitors after the competition until they could pee, and of course they went in to be with them when they peed. It took some of those divers 2-3 hours before they could pee.
 
I do remember pre workout being a considerable fear of mine being caught by an NCAA drug test when I was in college due to the caffeine restriction.

Good choice, the compliance guys always have the best stories.
