People using performance enhancers that aren't actually illegal per se in the wider world are going to worry the AFP why?
On the assertion that many of the substances used in strength sports are not legal to possess, import or sell, it's a matter of interest for law enforcement.
The supply chain can also be quite murky and overlaps with other areas of interest for the fuzz.
Any crackdown that is about to happen on PED in sport will be under a Federal instrument. Enforcement in that case is for the Federal fuzz, and while they are doing it they may discover other things along the way.
As for the "legally" dispensed substances - I think if someone is stockpiling a controlled medicine by the fridge load, has a couple of six-repeat scripts on the fridge magnet and has a bin full of spent syringes, then it's quite obvious that user is exceeding his once every three week dose of Sustanon 250 as prescribed by the doctor. The fuzz would fire off a scattergun of charges including trying to nail that guy with intent to sell or supply plus a few other weird ones.
It makes for an ugly headline in any case, and wait for the media to start joining a few dots......
Yep, still goin.
I'm adding power lifting to the "not to talk a out subjects" religion and politics

Feds would refer any relevant matter to the locals if outside of their list.
Something like that anyway.
I'm just off in the shed rolling out a new tin foil hat.
Is the federation then obliged to stop lifters competing if it is known they are taking illegal substances?
Interesting.

It's a timely question, Dan.
What would the insurance companies have to say about see no evil hear no evil and speak no evil?
Lol. Bullshit what so every local sporting club has to test people for drugs.
Neither is Cannabis... but the AFP doesn't tend to roll up guns blazing for that. The general approach to illegal drugs is tending towards 'harm minimisation' in most quarters,
Any entity involved in an illegal activity and having the wrong culture will be unlikely to find support from an insurance company when shit hits the fan.
If you've ever been under the scrutiny of an investigator from an insurance company after something really bad has happened, you will know they go through your organisation like a dose of salts. They look at your policies, procedures, history and culture.
Insurance companies will look for ways around having to pay out a claim. Lifters or organizers being busted by the fuzz for something dodgy ain't going to help, particularly if there is no policy and procedures shield.
The often cited model for decriminalized drugs is the Amsterdam model. For a period of time it worked.
