Some outlets have claimed that the popular energy drink Celsius has been banned by the NCAA and Olympics because of their ingredients. WFAA reported on the allegations:
Celsius markets its popular energy drinks as products for athletes.
But some recent headlines and online posts claim the NCAA, which regulates collegiate sports across the country, and the Olympics have banned athletes from drinking Celsius because of its ingredients.
Some of the articles claim that Celsius has at least four ingredients – ginseng, guarana, L-carnitine and taurine – that the NCAA and Olympics have banned.
The NCAA and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the organization that sets rules for the Olympics, don’t have outright bans on any of the ingredients in Celsius.
The NCAA does have limits on the amount of caffeine that athletes can have in their system at the time of testing but it hasn’t banned products that contain caffeine.  It also hasn’t banned any of the other listed ingredients in Celsius, or those mentioned in the headlines and online posts.
WADA doesn’t have any restrictions on caffeine or the other ingredients in Celsius drinks.
