Globaldro always carries foot notes such as blood levels and notes such as whether injection is okay or not. Infusion is always prohibited unless administered in a hospital setting after being admitted.

Caffeine is in the footnotes as shown below.

Bupropion, caffeine, nicotine, phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine, pipradrol, and synephrine: These substances are included in the 2020 Monitoring Program, and are not considered Prohibited Substances.

Thanks. I see that they stopped the ban entirely in 2004. Surprisingly to me, they also stopped the ban on pseudoephedrine. High urine levels of caffeine are still banned by the NCAA.
