Which is the REAL USAPL?

Jason,

Interesting discussion. I'm an old guy who has returned to PL after many years. I'm glad the USAPL has recently added RAW lifting as a choice for their members.
It is a bit confusing though, to also see the USAPL at the Arnold. At times it feels like the USAPL, which reflects the attitude of it's members, has a split personality. In one move the Organization supports drug free RAW lifting, and they also sponsor the Arnold.

This causes me to ask the question, which group is the USAPL trying to change: The RAW Lifters or the Drugged and multi-ply equipped lifters? The vast majority of the USAPL is in the middle between these two new groups. Can both these two new groups exist in the same organization and participate in the same meets?
Good luck balancing on the high wire.

Dave
