People still gonna use. I agree the testing in Russia or Ukraine is not as good as Australia, I have spoken to PA lifters about this.
Watcha gunna do? Why dont our top Juniors go overseas to compete at the Junior Worlds? I know they qualify? Whats that? Waste of time!
Yours is the example I'm talking about.
We had that chat, when we talked about testing and the totals the Russians were lifting, its almost a waste of time.
If you trained in a garage with a supportive owner, he would fund raise to get you there if you qualified lol
Will you still be a junior by the time we get the IPF Worlds in Oz?
For those that dont know, here are Simons best lifts at the Vics this year, Junior 82.5kg class
Squat 235kg
Bench 140kg
Dead 265kg
Total 640kg
Here are the WR in his class
Squat 355.5kg
Bench 255kg
Dead 347.5kg
Total 915kg
Simon is an exceptional lifetime drug free lifter, look at the difference.
These records are off the IPF website.
The only guys who can match 915kg in Oz are Adam Pinkard & Steve Pritchard, they are not juniors and weigh 125kg +
I stated what you lifted at the Vics this year Simon, read my post.
What are you aiming for at the Nats?

There's lots of reasons why the Eastern Europeans dominate and it's not just drugs. They have a ridiculous number of lifters, a long tradition in strength sports, the know-how with programming, and one of the most important factors - they are apparently masters in the use of equipment - no different to how the Japanese dominate the bench press.
It's easy to tell the Russians know how to best take advantage of equipment is that their squats often well exceed their deadlifts. They are getting carryover from squat suits that no Australians are getting. Then take into account the fact that they all sumo deadlift and get a lot out of their deadlift suits compared to Australians, and I wouldn't be surprised if their raw deadlifts are considerably ahead of our best deadlifters.
Some of the advantages they apparently have in this regard is a lot of money to play with to buy extra suits in custom sizes etc and lots of extra handlers & coaches to help them in training and competition.
