Tested Meet

[m.montoya]

I was out of the gym for almost 7 years due to an injury and then an issue with the state,have been back training for the past year and have competed 3 times since then-the first 2 meets were APF and the last was WABDL which is a "tested" fed.I waited until the day after my WABDL meet to get back on cycle after all of this time since it was tested,which was a joke in itself because for the most part a large portion of the lifters were definitely on and only one person was tested out of the whole lot of us.I ended-up qualifying for the World's at this meet in November which I wasn't concerned about getting on cycle because I couldn't afford to go to California and take off work days so wasn't going to do the meet.Well I work for a gym and they want me to go sponsoring me with airfare and paid time off and really are pushing for me to go.I'm not planning on getting off right now though and would not pass the test if tested.I am would love to go just to lift,though.I don't know what to do as I feel like an asshole competing dirty at a tested meet but then at the same time so many people are there lifting on a lot more shit than I am.Just looking for some feedback,thanks.

Well I hate to say it but alot of WABDL competitors are 'ON". Just don't piss anyone off and you should be fine. Either that or switch to prop and just come off 5 days before. They will just run a test/epitest ratio for the piss test. For the record I don't compete in that fed and never have so I have nothing to gain or lose by stating my opinion.

Yeah,I'm not looking at hitting a World record or anything,just going to have a good time and gain some knowledge at this meet so I should be all right-worst case scenario I'll get barred from the fed which is no biggie as I prefer the untested-unlimited rules of the APf and looking at checking out the UPA.Thanks for your input,bro.
