2014 Year in review....

In 2014, I attended four major WPC/AWPC Championships. Over the next several days I am going to share with you the direction we are going and the results we have accomplished.

The WPC has had two owners. Our current owner, Mr. Kidder has given the freedom of direction to the WPC Congress to develop our sport internationally. He has a much stronger futuristic vision for WPC Powerlifting. The WPC is in more counties than ever, well respected, and copied by others. Our drug policy is the most realistic in the World, much more realistic than the Olympics or any professional sport. Every International Championship has major improvements for the safety of the lifter, the excitement for the fans and WPC records are the only true honest and credible World records.

Thank You for being part of the WPC/AWPC!

Mike Sweeney

Excellent....Happy Holidays!

"The former track star and longtime coach got hit with an eight-year doping ban Wednesday after arbitrators found a series of discussions concluded with Drummond convincing Gay to take the banned substance, and carrying it to Europe for him.
In addition to coaching Gay, Drummond, 46, also served as relay coach for the U.S. track team at the London Olympics and as chairman of the athletes' advisory committee for USA Track and Field.
"Coaches have an inherent responsibility to protect athletes -- not take advantage of them -- but to ensure that they receive the support, training and advice they need to win fairly and in accordance with the rules," said Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which announced the suspension.
Gay received a one-year ban last year for testing positive for a steroid precursor DHEA -- a penalty that was reduced by a year because he provided information that led to USADA's case against Drummond."

...so in summary...a USA chairman and London/olympic coach banned for 8 years and his prime star turned him in to get a year off his sentence...
