He was banned for a year from the IFSA. People were more shocked that they banned him, than that he was taking steroids. He simply left the IFSA and joined TWI. The strongman testing is only during the season itself, not off-season. To cut a long story short, Marius Pudzianowski was second to Phil Pfister in this years event. Knowing the advantage steroids give you, would he still be competitive without them - I don't think so.I actually think they would be stronger in terms of overall strength. Strongmen train for as many as 20 different disciplines over the season, many of which are not simply static events.</blockquote>
