IFSA NEWS! First, IFSA has adopted a drug testing
policy beginning for the 2003 competitive season for
all IFSA athletes across the world. The only
thing Douglas specifically mentioned was that IFSA
will be testing for steroids and amphetamines. He was
not specific, but will provide more information in a few months. The
testing
will be minimal for 2003 but will become more elaborate and evolve over the next few years.
1/20/03 Due to a family Illness, I will be winding down Samson-Power Products. As I sell out, I will not be restocking. This might be a temporary situation, but for this years season, I will be out of the Strongman supply business, as well as the competing arena.(Boston will be probably be my last contest for a while) I want to thank everyone who visited
Samson-Power.com and kept it going for 4 years now God Bless you all, Mark Samson Keshishian 1/17/03 Last Mondays Philly Car Flip...when the Eagles won...Steve Pulcinella, Walter and crew....did some flipping for the local radio...and if the Eagles win this Sunday, they'll do it again on Monday morning...but not a fully loaded S-10 like before...but a Freaking Cadillac Hearse!...This I gotta see!

1/6/03 Very
Bad and sad Strongman news....On Friday, Willie
Wessels was diagnosed with A.L.L. (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia). He will

and does not feel sick. NASS will be ran the same as always. I will be doing
most of the NASS business and traveling with the help of our state
chairmen/women until March. Willie can still be contacted via his cell phone. He
needs positive remarks only though when talking to him. Willie has been given a
good prognosis by the doctors because of his athletic condition. I may be
contacted at 314-770-9279 or 314-609-5894. 12/24/02 Merry X-Mass all you X-Tream Strongmen (& women)! Here's one from Svend and Rene'
