In Response To: response to feedback about my 'naive' comments (chris marie)

Chris,
I don't know who said you were naive, but I'll tell you this. I've read most of the posts you put on this forum and I think you're one of the only guys around here who actually knows what's really going on in weightlifting. In fact, I'd say that my opinions are basically identical to yours and you do a good job of speaking the truth.

Like you, I've been in the sport a long time and, like you, I've heard lots of stories like the Boevski story over the years. The Europeans think we're idiots for lifting clean. That's why I'm glad when I see situations like the Greek program getting wiped out because of their drug use. It's a black eye for our sport, yes. But it's the only way anything will ever change.

Mr. Weightlifting
