Default Tea and Sports

Hi,

I've sent a similar message out on teamail, but I'd like to get some of
your feedback aswell. I'm curious what place you think tea has as a
dietary supplement for enhanced performance in sport. Caffeine is in
fact a banned substance by WADA (world anti-doping agency), but the
limit is high enough that It's almost impossible to consume enough tea
or coffee to test positive.

I've attended numerous nutrition seminars and the typical idea is that
tea is bad in sports because it can act as a diuretic.

I'd like your opinion on tea and sport. Does it have a place as a
dietary supplement to enhance performance? Will it actually enhance
performance? Is it ethical?

Sincerely,

Robert Hanson
