Yes you are right, there is crybabys in every fed. Some of the multi ply lifters compare their lifts to Guys like you, Siders, and Ed Coan and that is not right, to differant sets of rules. To make it to the top in the ipf, or the ipa, or apf is one hell of a accomlishment. But on the other hand it is wrong as hell to subtract 10% off a mans bench or total just because he dosnt lift in a drug tested fed. Not all the non tested top lifters are on roids, that is just opinion, with no facts what so ever. Some guys just dont believe in drug testing, and want to compete agaist anybody and everybody on the same platform. I myself back in the 90's was in the top 5 on the top 100 list for 7 or 8 years, and never done roids until the last 3 or 4 years that I competed. I never really cared if any of the benchers that was over me was using or not, I just wanted to see how far I could go without roids before I tryed them. I thought for sure when I got on them that I would bust the hell out of the all time world record, but it never happend. I didnt have it in me with or without the roids, no exuses. Just like a lot of the multi layer guys shouldnt compare their lifts to you top ipf lifters. A lot of ipf lifters act like all records should be done under ipf rules, single ply gear, super strict judging, and of course a drug test, regaurdless of the federation the lift was done in. Like you said as a person who can interpet a rule book, all federations have slightly differant rules, so it all depends on the rule book you are looking at. If I wanted to go for a all time record and I was lifting in the upa, ipa, or apf, then im sure as hell not going to care what the ipf, or any other federations rule book has to say im going to go by the feds rule book that im competing in. All the lifters that I named in the other post, performed their lifts, to the rules in their federation. That is all that counts.
