Whats the criteria for judging this? I can think of few criteria that help narrow it down a bit but it's by no means definitive and would not be uttered amongst fellow PA members. Unless there is a positive test, and the best testing would be by OCT, then any given lifter in tested Fed is entitled to a presumption of cleanliness. In reality there will be a percentage who are not.
Its hard to envisage much of an incidence of usage in lifters ranking up to or including A grade, although some people are just so fucking useless and stupid I guess it is possible. There's always some fuckwit who puts a 13B in a Datto 120Y and calls it a race car.
If all E2 were subject to OCT testing at the same time, then my guess is that there would be about a 10-15% probability of finding a grub. For E1 there might be 20-25% probability of finding a grub if all lifters were tested simultaneously.
For WL, it's much easier to pick (ie presume something is suss) without testing. There is a clear break that separates plainly awesome from scary awesome.
My criteria?im not involved in drug testing and Von i was a cannabis smoker on occasion in NZ.Wilks and a number of other powerlifting people know this,i told him when i signed up to PA.If he told me i couldnt join,i wouldnt of joined..I have a bit of experience when it comes to rec drugs.I dont believe they helped my performance 1 single bit.In fact its probably ruined any chance of me being a good open lifter.It makes you weaker not stronger.I wish now i had never touched the stuff however i am susceptible to it,i dont drink or party for that very reason.
I know a thing or two about a thing or two however my stance isnt as hardline as yours when it comes to using steroids.I just dont believe they should be used when the rules say they shouldnt.I see they have medical benefits.
