see, this is an issue for me. lifting weights will only make you slower if you lift them wrong. this idea is based on willfull ignorance and you can only come to it by ignoring years of research. unfortunately, a lot of weightlifting in the us has done this. most of it is still based on bodybuilding.
if you lift like a typical bodybuilder, then yes, it could have detrimental effects on speed. but correct weightlifting is the best way of improving explosiveness and power developement, period. you might have a valid concern about maintaining weight class, but then a correct approach would have minimal gains in bodyweight anyway, as limit strength is more about cns efficiency than it is about cross-sectional muscle area.
in short, rawr.
