Welcome to T-Nation. Congrats on your accomplishments. Ok so you took the moral high road and had success. Are you implying that you would have had greater success if all your competetors had not been on something? I don’t understand your end game here or what relevance it has.
This is simple. If you don’t agree with the playing field, then don’t play. Lift in a tested federation and go on with it. As they say, when in Rome. For the record, I have never taken any PED’s so I’m “not in that category” as you say; not because I am against them, but because I have no clue where to get them and I don’t want to get tossed in jail from buying said substances lol.

Thank u 4 the congrats. Yes, I said that I would’ve had greater success, if they had not been on something. I felt that I wanted to get that off of my chest. Some will like my post, some won’t. I really don’t care. I’m exercising my constitutional right, freedom of speech. I personally feel that all of the lifters that did it the right way was always overshadowed by the druggies. The magazines r proof. I did lift in a drug tested federation, & was very proud of it. But, I will always continue 2 speak my opinion on whatever I feel.

I was just getting something off of my chest that I’ve been wanting 2 say for 19 years now. As u can c all of the negative feedback that I’m getting from others that are probably on something, too. Again, thanks 4 the kind words.

I’m always going 2 state my opinion on them cheaters. I have trouble associating greatness with cheaters. Maybe u don’t have trouble associating the 2, but I do.

I c that u had ur needle. There’s nothing gay about my post. It’s not bitching. It’s stating my opinion, something that I’m allowed 2 do. If u don’t like what I’m saying then don’t comment.

I was 20 lbs off. I was actually training 4 a meet, where I was going 2 get that mark, but I had a tragedy in my family that just took me out.
