*Deleted quote*
Why did this thread start? Because Wilks went on a stupid rant that not only reflected badly on the wider powerlifting community, but reflected badly on PA within the community.
Wilks is a knob. End of story.
CAPO did it self no favours.
Holding a comp in a bikie club house? Yeah thats not going to come back and hurt you.
I would be upset as a CAPO member that Wayne did not step up to the plate and at least say something. By saying nothing, you admit to everything.
People are quick to say Waynes words would have been twisted to look bad, I agree. He could have issued a statement though saying that CAPO is untested; but not by choice. CAPO do not support or condone the use of steroids, but as the government only supports testing for one federation, its far to expensive, and not viable for CAPO to test. They even have a banned substance list on their website.
He chose to be a leader, he should stood up for his federation in that instance.
Why not join PA? A million reasons, drugs is far from the main one.
This inter-fed shit is fucking annoying, and its 9/10 caused or at least escalated by people who dont even compete, and if they do, have no clue at what actually goes on.
