CAPO 2014 aussie champs clips
Because powerlifters try and look tough by having a beard and shaved head. When in reality they look like fat hipsters.

Yerp. There is one PA judge that gets a bit edgy with deadlift lowering. Its kinda strange because the IPF rules say:
"#7. Allowing the bar to return to the platform without maintaining control with both hands, i.e.: releasingthe bar from the palms of the hand."
So, there is no mention of download speed, just keeping a grip. Frankly, even that is not really important. The deadlift is all done once you lock out. Same with squat and bench. I think the "not dropping" thing is more to do with not crushing your foot (sumo) or taking off a knee cap. Something I like about oly lifting is dropping dat fukka once you lock out.
I hate to say this but I think the lift would have actually passed in the PA comps. Ahem. Not that it matters at the end of the day. It was an opener.
As far as Facebook goes, ferk. Its Facebook. Its not real and not part of a comp. I can imagine that the admin might get a bit grouchy if someone was to intimidate or threaten a judge. If they can't take mild sarcasm then they would never last in Canada.

you wouldn't have got any red lights for that deadlift in PA. I'm amazed you got banned.
No idea what the CAPO rulebook says, but all you need in IPF is for your hands to stay on the bar all the way down.
It's a comp, why waste energy lowering the bar slowly.
The only exception would be for small comps where the venue requests some control to protect the floor, for a national comp the platform should be able to
stand up to any weight deadlift
