Thanks for the kind words Kyle. But it's alright, I don't really care what people think anymore. Travis, you can think what u want. And what the heck is a closet user?

Hi Josh, congrats on your victories. I haven't had time to spend on the board lately, but I saw the rankings and I was curious if you could beat Klemba left handed. If so, double congrats!!!

The primary reason why performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) are outlawed in professional sports is that they give users an unfair advantage over the rest of the field. Various professional sports leagues have attempted to set a level playing field by testing for drug use and suspending those found guilty. It’s a noble effort, but it’s clearly not working. Stiff punishments have done little to reduce the number of cyclists caught cheating every year; as Deadspin helpfully points out, the inheritors of Lance Armstrong’s seven abandoned Tour de France titles have all been implicated in doping scandals. Major League Baseball also hands down suspensions each season to players caught using outlawed substances, and it’s absurd to think those players are the only ones guilty of juicing.
So if we really want to level the playing field, it may be time to head in the other direction: legalize performance enhancers. i would assume in armwrestling there needs to be a polygragh test instead of a blood or urine test. Over 40 people have sent me a message asking if i can help them out with gear. Go figure.

He'd be the favorite imo even though I'm ranked above him, I beat Shea and Heintje and they were/are ranked above him that's why I am too. Never pulled Ron in a tourney and first time I ever gripped up with him ever was after AAA Nats on Saturday.
