In Response To: Re: Greg Lowe and the USAPL (Rich Edinger)

("What does morality have to do with powerlifting?")

See? This isn't just about Lowe, it's the contrast with association of suspended lifters. But we could extend this logic a bit. What about a judge at a fed with cash payouts caught accepting a kickback for white lights? Would that judge be accepted into the USAPL? What about a lifter caught cheating? (The one that paid the money; caught repeatedly with illegal gear; imagine something else.)

("Not everything is as black and white as you think.")

C'mon, Rich. I didn't say everything WAS black and white.

("I know you would not lift with him....")

I didn't sat that, either. Maybe HE would be fine. And THAT guy too. But, what about THIS guy HERE - HE's the child sex offender from that famous case, 5 years ago.

Bottom line : I figure others before me figured it was too hard to know WHERE to draw a line, so no line was drawn.
