Pipe down.

Every grocery, drug and convenience store in the U.S. sells cold remedies
with pseudoephedrine in them.  Professional athletes should know to avoid
coffee, ginseng, ma huang, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, among other common
and not-so-common substances.  This awareness is part of being professional.
This has been covered many times on the list.  Starbuck's and Runner's World
have nothing to do with athletic performance or any athletes good enough to
be drug-tested.

Chris,
The hypocracy goes deeper than just the USOC.
We have Runner's World featuring a story on the cover to run farther with a 
banned drug. The best known coffee shop sells tea containing a banned 
substance.
Watch out for your Mac-N-Cheese, it may be next.
