In Response To: Re: Stripping records from Russia and Ukraine (Mike Kuhns)

my point is you need to go by the rules in place at the time....not what you think you should do....not what you feel you should do but what the rules at the moment are.......the ipf nevers seems to want to do this.....they want to have floating rules and ever changing rules....kind of like some people in politics want an ever changing-ever growing constitution except the one we have had for 200 plus years....
.....someone needs to hold them accountable and take them to task.....if they put a rule in that strips everyone of records after failing a test..that is fine...but you do not make up rules after the fact and as you go along...that is what hopefully seperates the civilized from the uncivilized...rules that are firmly in place and the same for everyone......
and thank you for the kind words.....i can at least offer a perspective of 40 years in national and international lifting and judging when i speak....experience counts for something i hope..
