FWIW I was the tutor at Lebanese University for nursing student who had their thesis on caffeine, we made a study on 300 cases, it will be published this summer.
It's well known coffee increases tremor it can even induce it, on the other hand, some heart medications called beta blockers do just the opposite, they were even used as doping agents by olympic shooters

Now should beta blockers be banned for guys participating in sports events ?? it's a tough discussion, because they are essential sometimes life saving drugs for conditions like heart vessels or heart valves disease, and sometimes they are the only treatment that works preventing very severe headache crisis called migraine.
It will be not fair to ban persons taking beta blockers for medical reasons from sports especially they don't increase your performance is swimming and running.
On the other hands for shooters they give some advantages with less shaky hands....
And yes Olympic shooters don't drink coffee
