ABPU (the drug tested arm of the BPU) On the whole IMO i'd probably say the ABPU sounds as if its most likely to be the closest to drug free, as surely with a non tested arm and a lifetime ban if caught, and 2 year ban in untested side,surely guys not drug free would lift in the BPU arm (untested). What's everyone's thoughts ? i'd go with the BDFPA/GBPF but there seems to be more than meets the eye in this thread. Talking about vested interests, are you from the APBU/BPU, because aside from these claims that the "BPU is the best", what stats/substance is there to back this up? * Who carries out the ABPU's drug testing? Did they lift in the GBPF and perhaps went on "vacation" or do they have any actual history in a tested fed? * Where are the results of drug tests carried out and lifters sanctioned? * Where are the actual drug tests carried out? Not trying to bash the ABPU but would be interested to hear why it is the "best fed" for a tested lifter (seeing it is the branch of an untested fed). Seems to be a conflict of interest. | ||

I'm tending towards the ABPU or just lifting drug free in an untested. I lift in a gym where the barbell club is linked to the gbpf and I'm kind of an unofficial member. Im still not convinced that lifting in that fed us for me. | ||

Im still not convinced that lifting in that fed us for me. Why? They do as much as any fed if not more to try and keep it drug free. They have an established regional through to world infrastructure. Can you just not ask to lift as a guest in one of their comps to see how you feel? As far as powerlifters go they don't smell that bad all things considered. I know a few old farts who lift within the GBPF and they seem to enjoy it as much as anyone else I know who lifts. Why not lift in them all then when you're on your deathbed looking back you can say "I did it all". A couple of points to scratch off your f**ket list. | ||
