I used to, before a motorcycle accident changed both my perspective and body, competitively weight lift.

Talk about people with no perspective.

I've seen people juice to win neighborhood bench press competitions where the entry fees were donated to charities.

Since most "drug free" meets can't afford testing they rely on polygraphs. I've heard at least dozen ways to keep those needles from bouncing around.

The best? I know for a fact that entrants juiced to compete in the weight lifting competition of the Law Enforcement Olympics.

I've heard of much else but the above I know through actual observation.
