"Yes the list might keep growing, but how many of the lifters on that list have passed several times before they failed? I mean do you really believe that all the lifters in the top 3 in all weight classes at the ipf worlds, from all these differant countrys, that have passed the test are clean?"

Each and everyone probably not. But catching some is better than not catching any at all. For istance, the Russian team that has now been suspended two years in a row.

"Drug testing is like fishing, you are not going to catch one everytime."

That might be the most ignorant comment I've ever heard. Congrats.

"Untill they can come out with a test that is 100% accurate, then to me drug testing is just a form of entertainment."

Drug testing as entertainment? I was wrong before...THIS is the most ignorant comment...are you people serious here??

"I do believe that the usapl has the cleanest team in the whole ipf though"

Without a doubt...and therefore most respected. It is in fact a direct correlation.

"because we have plenty of respected non tested feds that users can compete in the the usa"

I also agree with this...while I believe some feds are not as well respected I do believe the US has many feds worth joining (i'm currently not a member of any for those interested...had been a USAPL member for five years before getting into serious collegiate football).

In closing...if you wish to "use" and compete in a non-tested fed then by all means feel free. However, dont then bash the one fed that is attempting to promote themselves as the pinacle drug free powerlifting organization in the USA. What purpose would that be for?? If you are drug free why not join USAPL? If you are not drug free, the USAPL does not want you anyway so the feeling would be mutual.
