USA Weightlifting Tragedy

August 28, 2007

USA Weightlifting’s Executive Director, Mr. Rodger DeGarmo, passed away while on a business trip this morning.

He really wasn’t very old, so the news comes as a bit of a shock.  I feel for his family, the wife and children he leaves behind.

Hood to Coast Relay Marathon

 Hood to Coast Marathon

Here’s a link to a NYTimes Article about the Hood to Coast Relay Race Marathon.

Bob Hill, the owner of Loprinzi’s gym runs it every year.  He’s also a Powerlifter, and just turned 60.  Not too bad.

While I’m not a big fan of steady state cardio (as an exercise), I am a big fan of putting your butt on the line.   And Hood to Coast is one sure fire way to do just that.


Lance Frye Suspended from Weightlifting for Weed … Seriously

August 8, 2007

I am all for anti-doping policies.  Steroid use among athletes is rampant and it takes much of the fun out of the game for the rest of us.

But, sometimes it goes too far.  Recently, Lance Frye, a US Olympic Weightlifter was suspended for 9 months and stripped of one of his medals because he was found to have taken the massively powerful sports performance drug … weed.  Marijuana.

Seriously.  That’s ridiculous.   If anything, that would have HURT his performances!  Get real.

Test for ‘roids.  Test for diuretics.   But, stop waisting time and money (and a good athlete) on pot testing.
