Thanks, appreciated that information about doping. It sure is a tricky subject in weightlifting; someone actually relatively clean (ie doing their best to only take approved or at least non banned supplements) their entire life would likely be considered at a disadvantage?

I'll read up on your resources - and yes, different rules across regions would be a big one.

Personally I just take Creatine and WPI, but I'm only training for functional fitness as a desk bound software engineer. Still, it's a very interesting topic; I do know someone who competes at a national level, and the routines and regimes are punishing.

It is indeed! PEDs provide such an advantage in Power sports, that anyone not on them is at a huge disadvantage.
