I see it all the time, says P.J.,  But I don t associate with anyone or anyplace that would put me in a situation to be around it. My friends have come to respect my position. I try to lead by example. People come up to me all the time and say it s cool that I don t drink, use tobacco or do drugs. <br> I have never been around marijuana. I couldn t even tell you what it smells like. I have never had one drop of alcohol. I have been brought up well so I don t need it. I have never had one cigarette. I spend a lot of time trying to get better. Why should I go out on a weekend and screw it up.<br> I believe you should keep your eyes on your goals. Trust in God and believe in yourself. Stay focused on your goals and try not to dwell on problems that come up. Problems are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals. <br>I have followed P.J. since he was in grade school and know him to be a true eleven. We made up a special award and presented it to P.J. in front of his family, teammates and coaches. We honored him for staying valiant and for always staying on course in his pursuit of noble goals. The award stated,  P.J. BROWN IS AN ELEVEN. We hope all of our readers agree. Thanks P.J. and thanks to Jim and Brenda Brown for raising such an exemplary son.<br><br><br>__________<br><br>BFS made a special award and presented it to P.J. in front of his family, teammates and coaches.

I've lifted probably as consistently as anyone who's played the game and because of my flexibility program, I have never felt tight. But, I have seen guys on sterll her!<br><br>BFS: You talked about how you liked the drug testing in powerlifting. How tough is the drug testing in Olympic lifting?<br>Hamman: We have the United States Anti-Doping Agency (SADA), and I get drug tested randomly probably 18 times a year, and then I m tested at every competition. One USADA requirement is letting them know where I am at all times. If I m not where I m supposedto be when they come to drug test me, that s one notch againt me, and three misses like that and it counts as a positive drug test. There s no way that a USADA athlete can hide from drug testing.<br><br>BFS: Do you think Olympic lifting will ever shake the common perception that all the good Olympic lifters are taking drugs?<br>Hamman: I don t know. It s really starting to clean up, and they have formed the World Anti-Doping Association, which is doing some international drug testing. It will never be totally clean no sport is ever going to be totally clean but as for the top lifters in the US, thre s absolutely no way that we can take drugs becaue of how often we re drug tested. Most other countries don t have the rando tests like us, so it would be possible for them to still take drugs although I m no saying that they are.<br><br>BFS: What s the training atmosphere like at the Olympic training center?<br>Hamman: Everybody is here to be better, so in the gym there s always kind of a psyched feeling. When I mhome I train by myself, and I find I cannot lift as much weight.<br><br>BFS: Was it tough for you to leave your home to come
