There are so many people wanting to be the best in the world, to be #1.  They will use just about every twisted trick that they know to attempt to prove themselves to be #1 or to a be drug free or lifetime drug free competitor in their class or division; all of this while they are loaded up on drugs.  How could one live with such a conscious?  Some may look at it as being insane or that it can’t be true.  A person cannot be that deceitful.  Well, I’m here to tell you that, “Oh, yes, they can.”

Look at all that is going on in the BALCO “trauma of drama”.  These individuals who are getting caught didn’t think that this would catch up with them. They thought that because they were using the best performance enhancers that they could find, that it would be hard to detect. The wake up call came in this years Olympics when many of the athletes were busted in various different sports. Then there was the shake-up in professional baseball. There are many more that are living this lie. These people are good at telling honest lies.  They’ve convinced themselves that what they are doing is okay, therefore, the public is convinced, at times.

I also feel strongly about the athletes ownership of the problem when they test positive for steroid or performance enhancers.  When they are caught, some of the athletes claim that they didn't know what was given to them. As an athlete myself, I know that it is extremely important to know what I'm putting inside of my body. It's simply common sense to know what you are being given regardless of it's form, e.g., creams, pills, patches, GHB, THG, Andro, DHEA, Clenbuterol, Ephedrine, DMT, etc.  For some of the weight lifters, football players, bodybuilders and tennis players, to name a few, when you are caught with Ephedrine in your system, and you give a pitiful excuse like you don't know what it was or what it does--or you go as far as saying that you didn't know that it was a banned substance--get off it. These stimulants/drugs are listed as banned substances. As an athlete, especially a pro athlete, you should know better. You really do know, but then that denial stage starts kicking in.  If they take responsibility when it's time to win a competition, win a gold medal, or set a record, then they should take the responsibility and set the record straight about what got them there.

How could you feel comfortable with yourself creating a plastic illusion for our present and future up and coming young athletes?  How could one live in that plastic bubble they live in?  It’s all in the name of fame, to supposedly be the best. I believe that organizations need to be stricter and be consistent in administering drug tests to athletes of all sports. There is also a problem in powerlifting with all the different types of equipment that people are using.  Is that true strength?

If you have a cheating spirit and a cheating heart it is more of a selfish act and it is inconsiderate of the other competitors who have really worked hard to obtain their goals naturally.  It shows that you are willing to walk over anyone at any cost. If you're willing to risk your life/health for fame/money, then you will have no regard for others.

In all actuality, when it comes to getting to the bottom of the problem, we need to start from the top and trickle down to the bottom.  Or we can start from the bottom and move our way to the top.  Doctors, coaches, trainers, meet directors, commissioners, managers, owners, and athletes all need to take responsibility for their actions. This includes some middle school coaches and high school coaches.

There are some people who claim to use drug enhancers for medical reasons, yet they want to compete in a drug free organization.  How could that be?  This is cheating!  Making excuses for people because you “supposedly” care for them does not make it right, nor is it helping that person.  It could eventually cost them their life, a history of medical problems, and/or disrupt their lives permanently.

Many of you may not want to hear the truth, but the truth is, if you stop living a lie, you may stop yourself from many troubles in the future.  When you load up on drugs and find any way to cheat, it means that you don’t truly believe in yourself, or your abilities.  The bottom line is that it means that you are weak—mentally and physically.  Start truly believing in yourself and you will find true strength and happiness from within.

Another thing is that you cannot go from being on drugs to drug free then to lifetime drug free.  You are painting a messy picture; a picture of confusing, messed up lies.  Lifetime drug free means that you haven’t used drugs or performance enhancers and you’ve tested negative throughout your life.

I don’t admire someone who is on drugs.  For those of you who say that it’s admirable, if anything, it’s a sad situation. There are many who believe that because someone in the sport of powerlifting squats, benches or deadlifts anywhere from 700 to over 1000 pounds (with the use of drugs) that it’s admirable. You need to get your conscious in check.

Stop the cheating, scheming, scamming and manipulating.  If you don’t stop, it will eventually stop you.  Once again, you will find true strength and happiness from within yourself, not from within a substance that you introduce to your body.
