Don't get me wrong I am not saying that if under the circumstances I describe, I were to test positive, that I would not be my fault - it would be. Nor am I saying that I should not be banned - I should be. After all the test was positive and there is no-one to blame other than me, so I have to take the consequences.
What I am saying is that I have never knowingly taken performance enhancing drugs. But I have been told that the list of them is long and impressive. I am also told that most members of the general public would fail a test, especially if they were a little under the weather at the time. The reason for this (I am told) is that many over the counter cold remedies and such contain banned substances and so a powerlifter taking a couple of lemsips and being tested at an inopportune time could well fail a test and face a ban.
Is he guilty - yes
Is there anyone other than him to blame - no
Is there a difference between the example above and someone going out and buying phials of steroids and injecting himself every other day with it - yes. I think there is.
Is it a bit rum to tar everyone with the same brush - yes, I think that also
You may wish to disagree again.

I am! It's all jolly interesting. Does anyone have a link to the list of banned substances? Are even the performance debilitating ones banned?

Tom_Martin said:I'm trying to wrap my head around this guys objectives here, I've come up with a list.

1. Defend GBPF against non existent enemies.
2. Accuse anyone stronger than him of being on gear.
3. Make anyone who disagrees with him out to be an enemy of the GBPF.
4. Defend non existent attack from imaginary enemy created from point 3.
5. Be confusing as f**k to subvert his responsibility for failing a test which found anabolics present.
6. Troll the living s**t out of all of us!?!?!?

Cheers Rodge! Performance debilitating subtances are banned then, oh well.

Edit: I see heroin is banned too! I'd actually pay decent money to watch a smack head powerlifting comp.
Edit 2: I can't see LSD on the list.
