Ethical Considerations. It is easy for endurance athletes to improve performance “legally”
with caffeine, as ergogenic effects have been reported with as little as 3 mg/kg body weight (bw). Even ingesting a moderate caffeine dose (5-6 mg/kg) is permissible. It has been suggested that caffeine should be banned prior to endurance competitions, requiring the athletes to abstain from caffeine approx. x. 48-72 hours before competition. This limitation would ensure that no athlete had an unfair advantage on race day, but would not prevent caffeine use in training. However, even if caffeine is banned in the future, what practice should athletes follow at present? For elite athletes, it is currently acceptable and reasonable to have their normal dietary coffee. 48-72 hours before competition. This limitation would ensure that no athlete had an unfair advantage on race day, but would not prevent caffeine use in training. However, even if caffeine is banned in the future, what practice should athletes follow at present? For elite athletes, it is currently acceptable and reasonable to have their normal dietary coffee. However, if they deliberately take pure caffeine to gain an advantage on competitors, it is clearly unethical and is considered doping
