Bodybuilding and powerlifting have both tested and untested federations. The untested federations tacitly approve PEDs. (And people in the tested federations, at least for powerlifting, are often caught for PEDs.) Weightlifting, as far as I know, has no untested federations.

To the grandparent post, you'll probably be interested in the recent documentary "Icarus". It's on Netflix.

There's the 'American Weightlifting Federation' which was created primarily so the founder could slam barbells.

I actually thought about that, but I didn't know if they were still around. I want to say I figured they tested, but I doubt they were big enough or organized enough to.
