1. Hyperdrive 3.0+
A month ago media wrote about the amphetamine oxilofrine, alias methyl synephrine, in ALRI’s Hyperdrive 3.0+. [First Edition Cycling News, April 16, 2010] It was the cause of American cyclist Flavia Oliveira’s 2-year suspension by the doping authority. The researchers also found the substance in batch 110802 when they examined it. One capsule contains 38 mg of the stuff. [Of natural origin? We find this difficult to believe…] On top of that the researchers found 185 mg caffeine and 75 mg vitaberine, an eccentric analogue of vitamin B1. All these substances are listed on the label. According to the label, Hyperdrive 3.0+ also contains lipoic acid and tyrosine ethyl ester. But the researchers couldn’t find these two substances. The other natural compounds listed on the label were only present in ‘very low amounts’.
