abstract: The effects of caffeine and its availability as a drug or constituent of beverages is described. The literature concerning the effect of caffeine in greyhounds is reviewed and deductions are made and tested by experimental work. Thus conclusions are drawn as to how caffeine affects greyhound racing carried out under the National Greyhound Racing Club (NGRC) rules.
