Why Policy?

it is hard to find an instance where the staunchly drug free proponents in this forum have shown "elitism" or passed judgement on lifters from federations that lack a testing policy.

You are one fucking cheeky kunt m8

What are your lifts Von?
I have a zero total.

What are your LFT's like?
 
Criticize the lack of transparency- that's fine. Or the processes- fine. If you have legitimate reasons to suspect someone- raise them. What I have been saying is don't speculate if you have no real reason to. This goes for people whatever fed. Like I said, people should not speculate about gpc or capo people either. It's just that some people seem to think PA people are fair game. It's easy to cast doubts. But without any reason you'll likely get called out as a dick head. Why? For the same reason you would for speculating online about anyone without a good reason. Obviously I am subject to testing and investigation- if anyone discovers something that suggests I'm dodgey - tell the world- but otherwise I'm inclined to think people should assume I'm innocent rather than guilty.
I know no one has singled me out- but it's not hard to see how someone reading a forum like this could take a statement that pa lifters are likely cheating as casting doubts over someone like me who is a prominent lifter.
Of course you can question all you want and I can do little to satisfy skeptics despite the fact that I get random tested 5-6 times per year- out of comp- blood and urine. I have had a hard time in the past because of things that people have claimed online. So I believe it's a balancing act- ask questions and ask for transparency- but understand that baseless speculation gets taken out of context and makes the lives of people like me more difficult.

Dick Pound. That name has a sort of weight to it.

Clean? Dirty? Come on Chris you should know better than to use such language. If you want to invite rational response and discussion then best to avoid such terminology.
 
I think 'VON' is a bit of a wanker, i think 'VON' has too much time on his hands or something else in his hand, get back to training 'VON', other than on a keyboard.

29 pages of unfounded moronic crap thats aimed fair and square at our drug free competitors. To assume anyone takes drugs when infact you dont know that they do, is childish and uneducated.
 

best post on here and overlooked by many.
 
All the answers are found in this post...

 

Where abouts in this debate on policy have I targeted anyone? This is a debate about policy and a suggestion that Organisations with policy gaps ought to look at evolving. Then the members can rely upon the fact that their organisation has policy shield.

Most of the 29 pages of crap you refer to comes from hollow man arguments from posters who don't seem to understand the importance of policy for the protection of the sport of powerlifting.

PA and CAPO have policy or at least guidance on the issue of PED. From some feedback here by GPC people, the issue of policy reform is not entirely off the cards for discussion in that organisation either.

If you feel that people might assume that lifters who don't have a policy shield are therefore PED users, then be an agent for change and take steps to alter that perception. Calling me names for opening a debate about PED policy almost suggests to me that you don't want to see reform.

I made some reasonably accurate predictions about the shitstorm now sweeping through organised sport in Australia, and it is up to members and management of the various sporting bodies to either take a lead for reform or alternatively just bury their heads in the sand. Let's pretend nothing happened to powerlifting in the 90's.
 
"You don't know for sure that the top guys are not using"
"The top guys are probably using"

Two entirely different statements. I already said im staying out of this but its still pretty hilarious that no matter how many times i make this distinction people still think im accusing people of cheating
 

It's a bad trip dude
