Drug Testing questions

[nathan]

I was looking at some state records. How can some of those drug free records be higher than the non-tested records? Do they not test every lifter or how does that work at meets?

I am a 100% steroid free lifter for life and want to look into doing a meet soon. In this coming Ripped Fitness meet is there also drug testing in the Ripped Fitness division? Or should I just always lift AAPF division?

Nathan,

If you don't want to take the chance of lifting against someone else that is not drug free then stick to AAPF!

almost all of the top lifters in the records at one time have taken and passed the drug tests. most of us get picked all the time i have taken more tests than i can remember.My 275 record aapf is bigger than my apf record because i have entered the aapf at a later date and got stronger.the records are not up to date right now. we are trying to get that completed one more thing to all the lifters coming to lift at the ripped fitness meet, prohormomes that you buy over the counter will make you fail the aapf drug tests and things like spawn,tren,any thing in that same class!!!!!

We try very hard here in Utah to keep the tested leagues clean. We test as much as we can afford, and as much as possible try to catch cheaters. That being said, taking a test does not mean anyone thinks you are cheating. In some leagues World or Nationa Records are supposed to be validated by testing. Due to progression of strength I know some of my records in the AAPF are larger that those in the APF. That is just how it sorts out sometimes. Drug users are not always the strongest, and clean lifters are not always weaker.

With all that being said, this is our sport. We police it. We get the sport we deserve. If you know that someone is using drugs and trying to compete in tested federations try to talk them out of it. If that fails then you can let someone "in charge" know and we can try to test them. If they compete and they suck then we can all laugh at them, and there is no need for a test. If they set a record in a tested league, then that is a different story.
