Real shocker here...is there ANYONE in these "strength" sports that doesnt do juice?

These competitions are more about who can mask their cheating the best than about the actual athletics associated.

Same with just about every sport.

You know they might as well just give Ben Johnson his Medal back, and his World record... the only thing he was stupid enough to do was get caught. As if all those sprinters aren't juicing.

No kidding, but Johnson's record wouldn't be standing today. In '88 he ran 9.79, and the record now is 9.78 I believe

The Toronto Star ran a series of pictures of the womens weight lifters. There is no way that the ones shown aren't juiced. YIKES.

I think the drug federations are smart enough now to keep these samples. They know there are drugs out there they aren't very good at detecting, but which they might be able to detect in a year or two. Wouldn't be suprised if it becomes a common thing to hear of athetes being disqualified a year or two after their event.
