Interview mit Kieran Kidder

An interview with KK, the man

Q: So KK how do you feel about drugs?
A: I like them, just kidding.

Q: No, I mean, drug testing in Powerlifting
A: It’s okay for the other guys, just not my lifters

Q: How is it that you run a drug free and a non-tested federation?
A: It’s easy, on one weekend I am for it, the next weekend I am against it.

Q: Isn’t that hypocritical?
A: NO, not at all. It’s about money and power

Q: So, what do you do with the urine samples?
A: I drink them, just kidding again. If we make a profit, I send them in, and if we don’t I store them in my garage.

Q: I understand that you have been convicted of selling steroids twice.
A: Yes, but you know I have to be a lot more careful now.

Q: What about your last arrest in 2002 for principal to armed burglary of a dwelling principal to kidnapping, aggravated battery?
A: Well, shit happens. The guy pissed me off and I had to take action. Everyone knows not to piss me off, or I will screw over them. It is all about power and control.

Q: It looks like everyone on “GOHEAVY” is afraid of you.
A: Most people know that if they don’t kiss my ass I will not let them lift.

Q: What about changing the rules all the time and not having a board to run your federation?
A: Again it’s not about powerlifting it is about me and POWER. I have always been a bully, but my allowance from my family enables me to use powerlifting as a means to an end.

Q: Don’t people see through the ‘bs’?
A: Yes, most do, but it is all about money. As long as I keep it coming, they will keep lifting.

Q: How were you able to con your way into the invitational team championships in October?
A: Money, BS and fear. Very few people will stand up against me.

Q: Why do they call you “DOUGH BOY”?
A: Because of my dough (money) and I resemble the Pillsbury Dough Boy....

Q: When did you start lifting?
A: I lifted in Maine, when Scott Taylor held some meets there.

Q: It has been reported that you pay hookers to stay at your house.
A: No Comment

Q: What are your goals for powerlifting?
A: Too eventually rule the powerlifting world, to conquer and control.

Q: I know a lot of the top rankings in the top 100 are WPO and APF lifters. To what do you contribute this too?
A: First, we do not do any drug testing. This gives us about a 20% advantage, then by wearing 3 or 4 lifting suits and having our judges pass lifts. Example, in the bench, if you get it almost to the chest, press it almost out and time the rack signal, it should count shouldn’t it? Of course, touch and go benches and high squats help.

Q: How does the AAPF and the APF differ?
A: In the APF, you can use illegal steroids. In the AAPF you have to lie about it.

Q: There is a rumor that the WPO will be included in the list of professional sports that will be monitored by the federal government when it comes to steroid use.
A: That will not happen. Even if I have to break some legs, that is just the way I work, bulling people.

Q: Are you against abortion?
A: I am against it.

Q: What if one of your hookers became pregnant?
A: Then I am for it.....

Q: I know that you have both used and sold illegal steroids. How can you do that and run a drug free federation?
A: Like I said, it all depends on what weekend it is. I have no problem letting lifters take anything they want in the APF. On the following weekend, I just pretend that I am against drugs. As long as the entry fee is paid, who cares?

Q: What is your opinion of Les Cramer?
A: That old fart, he just goes around promoting powerlifting and telling the truth. I fixed him when I had some lifters pose as friends and rob his gym in Vegas. He lost everything, now he has his own magazine and is peddling drug free powerlifting. This it ridiculous. And that hair, I don’t understand, mine is falling out, though I guess I can contribute that to the roid use...

Q: How do you account for you and your lifters having your pictures on the cover and scattered throughout the pages of Powerlifting USA?
A: Again, it is all about money and power.

Q: What about Cramer’s Masters III World record squat of 458 pounds at 181#? It was set at the 2002 AAPF Nationals. Also, his Florida state records have disappeared from the record books. The records were accepted then disappeared after you bought the federation.
A: Well, you know, people need to learn not to cross me. I have no problems, screwing over anyone.

Q: Why do you think there are so many people that ‘suck up’ to you?
A: Again, FEAR and MONEY motivate. Just watch the people that jump on this forum and stick up for me, very few if any will have the balls to do what is right.

Q: How do you compare your extreme powerlifting with legitimate powerlifting (drug free/single ply)?
A: The Arnold Classic is a good example. 99% of the audience do not know anything about lifting and they certainly do not care about drug testing. It is ALL SHOW! They know it is squat , bench, deadlift. That is all they need to know.

Q: Will powerlifting be in the Olympics?
A: I hope not. I would not be able to control that. And it would legitimize powerlifting, what is this world coming to.

Q: What advice would you give to the powerlifting community?
A: Do as I say, or I will crush you.

Q: How long do you think you can fool the powerlifting community?
A: Some of them are starting to see though my smoke screen now, but as long as I keep the prize money coming, I will have followers. Like I say, JUST SHUT UP AND LIFT.

Q: What is the best powerlifting magazine available today?
A: PLJ....... http://www.powerlifting-journal.com the only problem I cant buy them.
