USA Weightlifting Tragedy
August 28, 2007USA Weightlifting’s Executive Director, Mr. Rodger DeGarmo, passed away while on a business trip this morning.

Hood to Coast Relay Marathon
August 13, 2007 
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.

Lance Frye Suspended from Weightlifting for Weed … Seriously
August 8, 2007I 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.
