OCT Tests take place in Russia Post Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 08:17:23 -0400 <p>Nick Zhukov reports that out of competition testing is occurring in the Russian IPF affiliate, RPF. The RPF has been suspended from international and regional competition twice in the last couple of years for repeated doping violations. In order to come off of suspension, the IPF has made both national and international OCT testing one of the requirements for the country.</p> <p>Zhukov says that on Monday, just two days before the opening of the RPF Russian Cup, a number of lifters at MAI Gym were tested. Critics will argue that due to the timing, that testing was not truly out of competition. </p> Autor of the post: Undefined Joey Smith Training Footage Post Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 08:12:03 -0400 <p>Here's training footage of Joey Smith, 275, doing reverse band bench presses.

I saw a statistic today on the final round coverage that said that he was 1st in putting this week. And during the final round and the playoff Sergio had the biggest grin and seemed to be having the most fun of anyone who ever played the game of golf. If anyone wanted to copy any aspect of a professional golfer's game, it should be Sergio's fun-loving one that we saw today.
