some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280 710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	BigMacca said: Not on platform 2 - it was a 28mm Boar bar. Grippy but quite whippy compared to a Eleiko Power Bar I thought they were both Eleiko bars. Eleiko bars are easily my fav PL bar. Much was my suprise then to walk into a local rec centre gym, 10mins from my house, in a rough end of town, to find it had 2 (if old, and a tad beat) Eleiko bars! The other bar appears to be an equally as old TPB. Win. Even better I am the only person in the place that has any idea how decent the kit is.... result!

percy Member 384, 353 posts SQ 250, BP 162.5, DL 287.5 700.0 kgs @ 88kgs Eq	Several people have asked me to explain the Dope testing taking place at events I run on behalf of the BDFPA. I am aware that as well as the 12 drug tests at the British Unequipped a number of lifters have been tested earlier this year ,some within a few weeks of the Unequipped Championships .I understand that in one competition ( under the BDFPA banner) 100% of lifters taking part were tested last year. Further lifters will be tested in the next few weeks.BDFPA have the strongest Drugs Free ethos and prioritise drug testing as a major element of enabling a level playing field for competitors. 10% of competitors are tested at its Powerlifting and Single Lifts Championships.Testing is conducted at Divisional Championships as well and very extensively at International events. No notice out of competition testing has also taken place. Last year 20 tests were conducted at JUST the competitions we ran for BDFPA in Bournemouth.(Divisionals/British Unequipped/All England) The overall National picture of testing is obviously much more extensive . I hope that helps those who wish to know. Regards to all, Paul

The last results published on the BDFPF and WDFPF websites are from mid 2009. Got to say that I'm interested in the response to this as well. There were results posted from early 2010 comps (I know as I was tested in January 2010 and was surprised to see that the results were up in a matter of weeks), but they got took down again after a month or two. No as Finch has said there have been no updates for over 18 months......

percy Member 384, 353 posts SQ 250, BP 162.5, DL 287.5 700.0 kgs @ 88kgs Eq	I have copies of the BDFPA magazine with the drug test results listed in detail from a couple of years ago but as Finch has said nothing appears to have been published since.Partly l understand because a newsletter editor has not been found to replace Sharon during that period. I am aware of the testing taking place in our competitions in Bournemouth as I have witnessed the detail and preparation for tests at the University and Kings Park and have been part of the process of calling people up to be tested.I have also ensured with others that the used test kits were sent to WADA approved labs.A fair number of our club lifters have also been tested. The testing l am refering to directly has happened in three competitions in the last year in Bournemouth.British Unequipped 2010,All England 2010 and of course the recent 2011 British Unequipped where 12 lifters were tested.Approaching 30 in all. It is and never should be appropriate for me to name people tested at our competitions but quite a few lifters on Sugden have been "pulled for testing " by me (nothing personal).No positives so far l am pleased to say. I do appreciate that the previous system of publishing results for all to see is vital to maintain the integrity of the testing regime and that of the lifters and should be returned to at the earliest opportunity.Hopefully the Magazine in print or on the internet will be re -introduced in the near future.If the results have been published elsewhere l apologise to the Association for assuming they have not been. International records can only be set in competitions with testing for at least 10% of the competitors taking part.This will apply to the Europeans as well where we will be paying up to £25 per lifter towards the Dope Testing bill.This practice is in common with other drugs free ethos Federations like the IPF. I understand your points as the amount of testing sets the BDFPA apart from other federations who have only been able to test but a few in the last few years for, l am sure, financial reasons only. I agree that drug testing is and should be the priority for federations with a drugs free ethos and the publication of results is essential to support their lifters reputations. l will do my best to raise your concerns and views with those who in my opinion help lead the fight for drugs free sport in the UK.

Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 25.03.2011 @ 23:10 PM by Finch The point that I was trying to get over was that drug tests cost money. The cheapest WADA approved testing is around £400 a time. so if 40 tests were conducted last year that's around £16K, with a contribution of £25 a head from in competition lifters and nothing for OOC testing. I reckon that the shortfall is around £6-8K. I'm all for more testing and applaude the actions being taken by the BDFPF, i just wish the GBPF had that sort of cash available for testing.

percy Member 384, 353 posts SQ 250, BP 162.5, DL 287.5 700.0 kgs @ 88kgs Eq	Very pleased that the GBPF Senior National squad were tested(including two of mine) and l understand from my Juniors at the GBPF Junior squad today that more tests were conducted on their squad.This all adds to the integrety of our sport whichever drugsfree ethos federation/association your in.A positive conversation on an important issue. Lets hope that the financial challenge to increase testing can be met as effectively as possible. Regards, Paul

As Finch has alluded to above, the maths simply does'nt add up! I applaud BDFPA for promoting drug-free powerlifting, but how can any organisation spend more money than it has coming in on anything? I'm not a member of the BDFPA and it could be said that it is nothing to do with me; if I were, I would be asking to look at the accounts!

But if the BDFPA have a cheaper method of testing than the GBPF, then there may be a lesson to be learned by the latter. This is why I'm curious.
