ELITE ATHLETES
To deter the use of performance enhancing substances, protect the health of athletes and the integrity of competition, all elite athletes are subject to testing. Take advantage of USADA’s anti-doping materials, resources and activities and stay informed of the rules and processes related to testing.

I choose to compete clean because to me life after weightlifting is so much more important and I don’t want to do anything during my weightlifting career that’s going to jeopardize my life after weightlifting.
