The energy drink called Cocaine was pulled from shelves because of nationwide concerns about its name.
The FDA issued a warning letter last month to the distributer, Redux Beverages LLC of Las Vegas, saying that they were illegally marketing the drink as a "legal alternative" to the street drug and as a dietary supplement." On the company's website, the drink is advertised as “Speed in a Can,” “Liquid Cocaine” and “Cocaine — Instant Rush.”
The company argued that their energy drink has NO cocaine in it and nobody thinks it does.

Suddenly sprinting now that it is Spring, may feel like a good idea, but your hamstrings may have a different idea. If you rush your training, something we have all done at least once in our lives, you're bound to strain something. Straining or pulling (the more intense of the two injuries) a muscle is a fairly common injury and both occur when a muscle is stretched too far.

At most lap pools you can find an assortment of swim gear: kick board, fins, and pull buoys. I was unsure of the pull buoy until I started using swimming as a workout and now everytime I swim I use one.

Most of us can always use some lower back stretches, and this one called Butterfly Pull stretches your entire spine and opens your hips as well.
- Partner #1 (blue shirt) sits in Butterfly pose with his heels together and knees out wide.
- Partner #2 (no shirt) sits with his legs straight facing Partner #1, and places his feet on Partner #1's shins.
- Both partners hold each other's hands or wrists. Partner #1 folds forward over his feet as Partner #2 leans back, pulling him deeper into the stretch.
- They hold for five or so deep breaths, making minor adjustments if necessary.
