    A remark was made to me that got me wondering. Obviously the IDFPA make a big thing about being drug free but what's their selection process for who to test?
    They state 10% of competitors get tested but is it random or do winners automatically get tested too?

    Random testing. Though, it's probably about as random as my brown friends being randomly selected for a search in a US airport...

    I get searched everytime I go through knock airport, a Lithuanian guy said it's because I look eastern European, I've no idea how to take that.
    So in the same vein if your bench is a bit too good they'll take you out the back for a poke?

    Nah, pretty sure they've only a few test kits so theres not really many people getting tested.

    It's targeted.

    No guarantee winners will be tested, but a lot of them are.
