Jessie,
I lift in a tested federation.I lift in it because I have had fun there and made a lot of friends over the years.It was the only fed that put meets on anywhere near my home base for many years and I have remained loyal largely for that reason.I have been tested many times and will drop a U/A if I am asked-no questions.I personally do not care about the testing issue one way or the other.Only I know personally that I have not used any anabolics,GH and such drugs and that is what is important to me.I have passed all tests but know there still could be/would be people who question this.So in my advancing middle age,I just do not care anymore.Since it is apparent powerlifting will never return to the levels system(Elite,Masters I.II,III,IV) to determine what class a lifter competes in,the only thing I would say is,if a lifter uses,have the integrity to lift in non-tested federations.Very simple.Do not cheat by using an unfair advantage to compete against those who choose to lift without steroids.
