When Chris first met Craig in the UK, Craig was a sprinter training for the 100m. He competed at the 2008 Olympics in both the 100m and 4 x 100m relay. Craig was also selected for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in bobsleigh. After retiring from professional sport, he took the position of Head of Sports Science at DNAFit, a genetic testing company. Alongside his work, he is also studying for a Professional Doctorate at the University of Central Lancashire, where his interest is in exploring the utility of genetic information in elite sport, with a secondary interest in caffeine.   In particular, Craig discusses two of his published articles:    What should we do about habitual caffeine use in athletes? Sports Medicine, 1-10.
