Mmm. For gyms that are affiliated with sports subject to anti-doping controls that seems fine. I'm sure there are gyms here in Australia that would comply. However it does appear to be creeping into Orwellian territory.
 
I am only reporting what goes on around world, just as testing in a lot of IPF member states is a joke, although i am sure this is the case for a lot of international federations.

The fact is that clear majority in certain gyms in Denmark support testing.

In contrast to Orwellian fears, what if some smart dude actually promoted such gyms in Australia. There would be a strong chance they would do well.

I'm only suggesting that there would be gyms in Australia that would commit to such a strong stance that they would allow any member to be subject to testing.
 
Interesting one way or the other.

I do feel we are entering new territory in Aust and the public is about to get a lot more informed.

When basic clubs tell a fed it is not interested in holding its comps, you know something is happening.
 
I would not have a clue yet; i assume like any other method, risk is pooled: involved gyms may contribute a portion of membership fee.

I have a publication and national approach varies, one country has gym pay costs but if someone guilty, must repay gym. Other country has part of annual fee from member contributing.

I have a mate in Denmark who was tested while training (he doesn't compete) and tested positive for testosterone. He's banned from the majority of Denmark gyms for 2 years now and has to train at home

That's really retarded!
 
Sweden appears to be a dystopian nightmare of liberalism followed to its logical conclusion. But that's another story.
 
you can't have it all. Denmark has porno on tv late at night.

The TV channel Kanal København broadcasts hardcore pornography free and uncoded at night.

Sport federations and anti-doping programs

The type of anti-doping work, unions are important factors. Federations have a responsibility for their own anti-doping work: they develop and implement their own anti-doping programme. ADT will actively cooperate with the sports federations. For example, you can subscribe to the Association of anti-doping education or ADT:n introduction to the point of the event.

I dont think PA would have much to worry about should the govt no longer provide public-funded drug testing.

Canada appears to have a very well organised and transparent federation (IPF). The site includes meeting minutes, a fourm, and list of lifters tested. I also note there that a CPU lifter, once no longer a member, is also subject to possible testing up to 18 months later. Annual membership fees, at least in British Columbia, appear to be cheaper than PA too. Canada has a national body, but also provincial branches of the fed.

Canadian Powerlifting Union

Sandman, not sure if Netherlands funds powerlifting or not, but following does mention tests for strength sports later on page although powerlifting not listed.

SP, i dont disgree with you; just saying woud not be end of world. There is a strong chance that budgetary constraints in future will lead to a geater emphasis upon user-pay principles, particularly for minor sports. We shall see.

As for ASADA, i am sure glad i have always been a mediocre athlete.

For myself, i can certainly say i have not contributed to your predicament on this forum.

I certainly dont think tests are easy to beat.

If ASDA reads it, then perhaps it will start doing a better job with its data, absolutely pathetic when compared to other nations. We have a right to know which sport gets tested and how many tests and the type are conducted.

They seriously read the forum and took a blood test because some guy on a forum said that the tests are easy to beat or that PA guys might be on gear? I still don't get why they just don't use blood tests and get rid of urine tests altogether.
