[J Power]

Check out the IPF site.it seems clive has now been confirmed as 2006 champion.

[Phil R]

yeah seen it today john
well done to clive

[Rob Thomas]

Great news for Clive and it's also good to see the out of competition testing working properly too. Nice one.

[SOTB]

Not quite the same as climbing to the top of the podium on the day.

To avoid this kind of disappointment in the future maybe Clive should consider lifting in drug-free competition with the WDFPA.

Of course, you have to be able to catch a drug cheat in the first place before you can appoint the runner up as the new World Champion.

Mind you another factor is he'd be so dominant he'd always win on the day! In fact he would probably retire as a reigning world champion.......65 does seem a wee bit off though.:p

[andyclegg]

should be lifting in drug-free competition with the WDFPA

Just how stringent is the out of comp testing in WDFPA, that has given the correct result here ? No, not lets go down that well worn sidetrack ..... each to their own.

Well done to Clive, a deserved World Champion.

congratulations clive good to see you got a result you deserved

Well done to Clive, a deserved World Champion.

out of competition testing takes place in the IDFPA and im sure the BDFPA is the same given the close relationship. the WDFPF as a whole does not have the financial attributes that the IPF has so, they cannot be compared.

it's clives decision to lift with the IPF and by doing so is aware of the risk factor that he might not be on the exact "playing field" to others in that FED.

but Clive was only 20kgs off 1st place. hardly a massive amount when the weights are that big. it was a close one so clive deserves this win.

but if i was at the standard of the IPF i would no doubt lift in that fed. it's IMO the grandaddy of them all.

well done clive

Nice one Clive!

there you are then, a simple well done would have been more suitable, so you are saying the drug free is totaly clean then.
if that is the case how come even they have banned lifters
i agree with the not benin g on the podium bit but the rest is just shit

[SOTB]

Sorry Phil. I was actually being sarcastic about the WDFPF.

If anything, I think this comment is out of order:


it's clives decision to lift with the IPF and by doing so is aware of the risk factor that he might not be on the exact "playing field" to others in that FED.
That "risk factor" is equally present in the WDFPF and its affiliated organizations.

And this says it all about the real motivation of those lifting in the BDFPA/IDFPA/WDFPF:


but if i was at the standard of the IPF i would no doubt lift in that fed.

Well done Clive. A true drug-free World Champion.

Sorry, but that's just utter crap. You've just pissed off a lot of people here who lift with that fed.

[Pork Pie]

Well done to Clive Henry. Top fella from what I'm told by people I know who know him.

I would put him up there as one of the best we've produced from these shores.

One thing that is encouraging for young lifters about Clive is that his totals in the early days were modest by the standards that he's now achieved - i.e graft, hard work and dedication is as much a factor in his success as natural ability.

That's one of the reasons SOTB post's are so good though:D:D

[SCG]

Great news - well done and well deserved

[SCG]

A little worrying how many things the IPF did incorrectly - at least the CAS seem to use common sense as to how much effect it had.

[cuntos]

Lol @ Sam missing the point! "Hey SOTB, thanks for the bait. Allow me to rise to it..." :) and :D

Yes Dai, I reckon people like Phil, Dean Bowring and Clive Henry (to name just three) are great examples of what happens if you just plug away for hundreds of years (well, I'm sure Dean and Phil must've been competing for about twenty years each now). They're now amongst the best in the world.

[SCG]

I believe Phil has now done 18 British Seniors - there are just three people who have done more
