Drugs

On the subject of drugs, I believe paintballers as a hole would find testing a challenge. As a tested athelite myself (Bodybuilding, the most abused sport ever, apart from perhaps cycling) the current IOC banned list is huge, and yes you can fail for caffeine, but you will need a truckload of it.
My other sport has such problems with current IOC testing procedures (lets just say it could be more effective) that they employ polygraph testing at shows as an additional measure.

Still, at least the once famous top pro who once addvised me to take as much speed as my system could handle to get me through the game has retired to obscurity and an ever twitching lower jaw...

Ah, the joy...

Of having a predisposition to Atrial Fibrilation.

It makes it impossible for me to have any stimulnts of just about any sort. I can't drink anything with caffeine in, take speed or anything like that. Mind you, the flip side of this is that if I drink a lot the night before I play, my body doesn't really like having that amount of alcohol by-products in it and so it tends to mess my heart up.

Basically, the easiest thing for me to do is not smoke when I am playing (but start when we are done for the day) and avoid alcohol and dehydration the night before. Otherwise I get a heart rate of 200 bpm and a pulse rate of 70 bpm.

Still, it doesn't stop me running a mile and a half a day, although my girlfriend's birthday party last night (and the Carlsberg that it required) will do!
