In the WPC, we don't lie!

Lance Armstrong says he "wouldn't change a thing" about his doping history that led to him being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.
Armstrong made his declaration in an interview with Mike Tirico that will air after Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday.
"We did what we had to do to win," Armstrong said. "It wasn't legal, but I wouldn't change a thing -- whether it's losing a bunch of money, going from hero to zero."
So Lance actually you were a "zero to a zero!"...

Well DONE!


Hello all - well we didnt die and made it! 
I never thought it would happen of that it would run the way it did. 
It was the first time in the UK there has been a 3 platform meet and we got all of our 453 lifters through in 3 days at the Bodypower Expo which had over 120,000 people all going through. 5 people deep the audience around us and the llifters actually got "seen". 
I had to share - I never thought we would get there, I never though that the federation would go the way it has, I never thought I could do it - not really - but it has happened. 
I can say we now have some of the most selfless and wonderful people around us who actually love the sport. 
Thank you Mike and Amy for your help and support in making this all happen. Mike, I couldnt have got this started in the early days without your guidance and Amy your admin backup and years of experience seeing it all before advice when I havnt had a clue has made such a difference in the decision making and direction we have gone. 
Anyway - thank you all again.
