Crossfit Positives

Cliffs - all individual athletes are clean and 3 teams have been Dq'ed from the Crossfit Worlds.

Maybe we aren't all fans of Crossfit but they are making moves towards becoming a legitimate sport with WADA endorsed testing.

Any thoughts here?

Speaking of Crossfit, have you seen this topic, Danomyte? It'd be good to get your thoughts on how we integrate a crossfit forum here.

Congrats on the growth with the site bro :clap:

After reading the topic you attached above, I reckon you would have a good case to open up a crossfit training, Boxing & Martial Arts and Training for other sports forums to help stimulate growth and increase forum users.

Where to put them I'm not sure (insert shoulder shrugging smilie here)

Fixed your link. :grin:

Can't have peeps around here saying crossfit peeps can't hyperlink.

I think having it unannounced was harsh. Fair enough testing for it, but if you have never before, then spring it on people, I say that's shit. Yes, I am bias, but if I knew ahead of time, I could ensure I was clean (if I was using, and entering).

Other events around the world test, but they have for years, and it is an obvious thing.

I say they didn't do the crossfit image any good by exposing their own people as being on banned subsatances. If it was told ahead of time, all would have passed, and crossfit would've stayed 'pure and paleo'.

But I used un-named banned substances when I did it, so I am sure it is wide spread, considering I was a nobody in the scene.

I thought all athletes knew they were introducing testing?

I'm not one to dismiss CrossFit - having been to a "three-lift" comp run out in Petone solely for women, there were some superb, strong lifters in there, with great form, who could have done well in a Novice powerlifting Comp.

Sure, it's different - you could say that CrossFit is to powerlifting what "aesthetics" is to bodybuilding - but is that really a bad thing, especially if there's the occasional cross-over into powerlifting.

As for the doping, if I read it right, so some athletes took a chance and got caught... I don't know anything at all about US CrossFit, but from what I know of other sports over there I'm not sure I'd be surprised at either the positive results OR the move to introduce testing.
