Dundee United have confirmed that, subject to confirmation of compensation from the Scottish Football Association, Craig Levein has left his post as manager, paving the way for him to take the Scotland job.
“It is with great regret and disappointment that I confirm Craig Levein is leaving Dundee United,” said the United chairman Stephen Thompson. “He has done a great job for us and leaves the team – and the Club as a whole – in a much better position than it was when he arrived here.
“While we always knew he would move on to a bigger job and are flattered that the job he has done here has brought him to the attention of the national team, we're nevertheless very disappointed Craig is leaving us at this time. However, he leaves with our gratitude and best wishes for the future.
“We now move on and look to our own future. We've already had plenty of names put to us as potential replacements and I can understand why because we've got a good squad of players and are in a strong position to attract good candidates.
“However, we won't be rushing into appointing someone else. We'll take our time and look at all the options.”
Let me start by confessing that I am a Red Bull consumer. I have to admit, I probably don't drink it as often or frequently as the next guy — but I have been know to gulp down a can before a test to make sure I am alert and able to focus better. With that said, when I started hearing different accounts of people dying because they drank too much Red Bull, it made me wonder if Red Bull really was to blame.
It has been said that Red Bull contains a lot of caffeine — about a coffee's cup worth. I thought that was strange thing to observe since Starbucks is selling its caffeinated coffee in larger sizes than the Red Bull can (a little over 8 ounces). Red Bull contains 80 mg of caffeine which is almost twice as high as a can of pepsi (44 mg). In any case, the caffeine has been declared unhealthy for pregnant women because it can induce a miscarriage. This makes sense as most caffeinated products are told to be left out of a pregnant woman's body.
I am sure, just as many of you reading this, have heard of Taurine. What is it exactly? Well, different sources call it different things. Many researchers refer to it as an amino acid while others say it is missing an important component for it to be considered an amino acid. Our body does produce Taurine moreso when our mind is developing initially. Once the development stage is almost completes or levels off, the Taurine production drops dramatically. I am not a scientist or a medical research by any means. I am reiterating statements and explanations from other sources indicating what exactly Taurine is. It seems that in high concentrated doses, Taurine can be harmful to your body. I have found many contradictory explanations for what Taurine actually does to your body in high doses.
When it comes to stories of people dying because of drinking Red Bull, one has to take the story in context. Many of the stories of Red Bull related deaths have also been because exercising was part of the equation. Energy and sport drinks such as gatorade or vitamin water replenish minerals and lost electrolytes. Coffee or soda are not the drink of choice when exercising because of its use of caffeine. The same should be said about Red Bull. I am not sure why people would drink Red Bull as a drink during their exercise routine — especially if it is strenuous. Red Bull dehydrates your body without any exercising because it contains caffeine and when it is drank in excessive amounts, of course it's going to cause dehyrdation!
Many of the deaths related to Red Bull have been said to be Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. Although a correlation between Red Bull consumption and these S.A.D.S. deaths have not been found, I am sure there is some sort of relationship between the two.
Recently, it has become increasingly popular to drink vodka and Red Bull or any other alcohol mixed with Red Bull. Somehow, this does not make sense to me because one product is making your heart race and making you more alert while the other is slowing you down and causing you to lose focus. Many of these people have been interviewed and asked why they these two liquids are mixed together. Many people have said because it helps them not get so drunk. That seems like an oxymoron to me because why not just drink less if you're aiming for that outcome anyway? Some claim it alleviates any type of hangover the next day.
My personal feeling on the topic is that if you must have some sort of caffeinated beverage, drink it in moderation. Especially when exercise is involved, think smart! Drink something you know will be beneficial to your body. Even water in moderation is good. Although it's been told that people who exercise especially need to drink more water — do your research first! The rules, specifically for marathon runners, have been changed. Dehydration is always a concern but drinking way too much water can also dangerously lower your body's sodium level. Too much water, especially during exercise, can prohibit how your body excretes it.
So far, Red Bull has been labeled as safe for the United States and a number of other countries. It has been banned in France because they feel it is too risky for consumers. It is up to you, as an individual, to determine whether this drink is safe to put into your body because as of right now, the research of the health risks of this product are still to be determined.
