At present, David is a true freshman and carried the ball twelve times for 64 yards helping his Hilltoppers to a 49-7 opening game victory.<br>David hates the thought of steroids.  Steroids, he said,  are the way of cheaters and a way to an early death. Weights are not more important than life or a healthy life. Taking steroids just doesn't make any sense to me.<br> The same goes for drugs, alcohol or tobacco. Coach Shepard, I have never gone near drugs. I am so proud of that fact. I have never gone out and gotten drunk. I just don't understand it. I have never smoked or chewed tobacco. Those things have never appealed to me. <br>David makes sure he attends his classes everyday and is always on time. He turns his homework and quizzes in on time.  That's how I push my grades up, said David.  Big tests are tough for me so I have got to make sure my homework is done right. <br>There are two well known stories about David that are examples of his leadership. When he was an 8th grader at the end of the football season, David stood up to the varsity high school players and said,  You all nI 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 supposed to be when they come to drug test me, that s one notch against 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, there s absolutely no way that we can take drugs because of how often we re drug tested. Most other countries don t have the random tests like us, so it would be possible for them to still take drugs although I m not 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 m home I train by myself, and I find I cannot lift as much weight.<br><br>BFS: Was it tough for you to leae your home to come to Colorado Springs?<br>Hamman: I had never been away from home until I moved here. I ve got two older brothers and they re married and have kids, so I have all these nieces and nephews and it was hard for me to move off and know that I wouldn t see them except maybe twice a year. But overall it s been good they re all really supportive of me.<br><br>BFS: What did your new coach Dragomir Ciorosian do for you when you moved to Colorado Springs? naturally want to not just what to do, but why they are doing it. If you can justify what you are doing and why this would best for them, that goes a long way. This includes my choices in equipment purchases and weightroom design.<br><br>BFS: Are the athletes working out at the same time as the regular student body?<br>Brooks: Yes  that s probably the hardest part of myjob: to coordinte any kind of lifts, especially with teams. With teams we either g early in the morning when it s not too busy, or after 7:00 p.m. If we try to go between 4 and 7, that s when there are no classes and everyone in the world is in there.<br><br>BFS: If a non-athlete is using a platform, the athletes would not get preferential treatment by you asking the non-athlete to leave?<br>Brooks: I could kindly ask tù)b"$%Y0ާ@g3Ph-ØQs=~cα |O*}4]evghjz"/c{Y8rW **4I7ځp6%4-8,Gy4fDp0V7$ 0WM#騢\ZYbEN];H OnT6kuA(T/968zg4oXfCȆ0J+$AV/G'-۲}>,wzOvehGZ r\c.I5$j|1G} ٌI^H:Hah\c&Lml7f 7.+.s6;Fn(>1ډx#EjI=k١H1Nm8Xt@!hto>t_/wUm7Α
