Aussies! Drug free organisations?

[imnoturgirl]

I am looking for a drug free or at least drug tested organisation in Australia, preferably Queensland area. I'm aware of C.A.P.O but they very admittedly don’t drug test. I have competed with oceiana powerlifting organisation (O.P.O) but they hold very little competitions.
Any Aussie powerlifters out please your thoughts?.....

Powerlifting Australia. It's the local IPF affiliate.

^ This. There are plenty of Queensland comps put on by powerlifting Australia for people of varying levels.

IPF have plenty of QLD comps. There's an organisation I've competed with before (based mainly in VIC but) called Drugfree Powerlifting Australia (or similar) - they have a website if you google them.
Where in QLD are you?

Powerlifting Australia is not bad I would love to know how much per drug test comp they charge, they hold alot of equipt competetions but i like to compete in RAW mostly. I want them to be associated with WPC (world powerlifting congress). A while ago CAPO put a new 63kg class which WPC hasnt recongnised yet but can't contact them to see if powerlifting australia has that new class too if so Im in!

I'm based in the Gold Coast and would compete in Brisbane.

From January 1 2011 Powerlifting Australia changed to a new set of weight class limits which includes the 63kg (female) limit you want.

You'll see this if you dig around the site a bit. For example you'll see the new limits here

Note that the 2010 gradings are the old limits.

getting roids in australia is so hard... You're good to go.

[imnoturgirl]

Ah! That's what was confusing me the 2010 old gradings, thanks heaps. Now the long wait untill Nationals comp to take over the 63kg class.

Powerlifting Australia holds plenty of raw competitions. Check out the competition calender on the website to see raw only comps and comps with raw divisions.
Best of luck, and if you decide to compete ill see you at the Matti Tikka comp hopefully.

Even though you have affiliates of drug-tested organizations in Australia, they are not truly "drug-free" but "drug-tested" as only a certain % are tested. To be truly "drug-free" you would have to drug-test everyone in and out of competition.

You would have to test lifters regularly from birth.

You would also have to get all the affiliates to agree to testing.

It is a good thing to have testing even if it is not 100%.

Yeh I agree it would be easy to slip under the radar if you knew the organizer so you weren't drug tested, just looking for an organisation that is going to firm
with the rules. What world records do you have??

There's a novice comp on at PTC in Brisbane on the 18th June. Only $20 to enter.

I'm currently training for the Autumn novice comp on 16 October in Brisbane,
Wanted a nationals comp to be able to go for some records tho.

You would have to test lifters regularly from birth. To exterminate the drug cheating scoundrels.

You would also have to get all the affiliates to agree to testing. But they won't because some countries could care less about drug cheating scoundrels and subvert testing.
It is a good thing to have testing even if it is not 100%. Bloody low life thieves, 45 years hard labor sounds about right.

You should be able to set national records at any PA comp as long as you have been a PA member for over 3 months. I think.

Regardless, Raw Nationals will be held again in March 2012.

You have to be a PA member for 6 months to set records.

I stand corrected. But I am right about being able to set national records at any comp right? I've seen records set at my last 2 comps.

I think you're right about that mate. Where do you compete at?

Same username. I never post on proraw. I probably should more often though lol. Might switch my log from here to there eventually.
