Muscular Development Online Magazine - IFBB Enforces Drug Policy!

The IFBB has always maintained that it has a random drug testing policy in place that all active athletes are subject to. Until now, it was always thought that this rule was just some phantom policy that was placed "on the Books" to look good for outside parties. All that changed today when I was contacted by an IFBB athlete in good standing who was sent a registered letter that informed this person that they were selected for a random drug test. As a result of this selection, they had 72 hours to report to a designated testing facility where they were required to submit a urine sample for analysis. The letter also explained that a failed drug test would result in suspension from the IFBB for a designated period of time. Furthermore, all test results, whether positive or negative, are being kept private; apparently to prevent embarrassment and/or loss of future potential income. Failure to provide urine samples within the designated 72-hour period is being considered a failed test.

This is in response to the Olympics and that new Bigger Faster Stronger movie about steroids coming out? It's gotta be as much as for sure as their previous policies on the matter have been, else, what would be the point - it's common knowledge IFBB pros juice....

I was reading this over at Muscular Development. I'm sure it is a result from the public media, but out of all the sports out there, pro-bodybuilding obviously uses steroids.

Obvious to you and I. I bet if you surveyed 100 random people over half would say "I dont know" or "probably not".

There are guys that are obviously using at my gym and the vast majority of people think they are 100% natural and just take a lot of "supplements" its sad.

really? people really think that huh? hmm maybe i cant trick my girl into believing its all sups. lol

Yea there's a guy who, during his bench workouts, goes 315+ for all sets with the biggest moon pie face ever...then every 12-15 weeks it goes away then comes back. He must just cycle sodium. The guy is about 6'0"-6'2" and goes well over 250lbs while maintaining a rather lean physique i'd say between 12-14%BF at about 22years old.

I could see how people would think that.

Actually my brother picked up a fitness magazine this past weekend that had an IFBB pro on the cover and said to me, "Does he do steroids ? He looks like he might."

I've been seeing a lot of 'bloated/puffy' looking guys lately at the gym.

haha yea or girls that I talk with see me looking at muscular development and say "I think he may be on steroids but IDK he works or real hard and takes a lot of stuff" Or just the "fitness" guy in muscle and fitness girls would never think they use anything hormonal.

Fact is i'd guess close to 80% of the people in fitness magizene do or have used some sort of AAS/hGH

Or even MMA thats where I hear a lot of arguements of those guys being clean, O i guess it is humanly possible to be 5'10" 225lbs at 7% bodyfat and maintain that without any hormonal aid. No man in UFC would use :gasp:

no one ever said it was for anabolics....they know better. Why do you think it just says drugs? haha if anything its for all the crazy painkillers, mental, addictive things, etc etc....
Also, it is all talk. They wont monitor a pro, i wouldt be suprised if the IFBB themselves just asks them to come in and sit there for a few minutes, release them with the "ok clean"
It is supposed to be random and many talk is the Weider gang wont get touched....so it may lessen the competition.

IFBB and bodybuiolding has become ridiculous as of recent with all this garbage talk. The olympics doesnt help much either....watch how fats it clears at least a month+ after the olympics.

Damn, my friend was telling me about this in the gym and I didn't believe him. I still don't believe they will be doing any actual testing for steroids. 100% of those selected for testing will be positive for steroids.

[mindgame]

deca is going to be there new friend

[raginfcktard]

and steriod testing is exensive...they tried this in the past and obviously didn't work out. the monsters are what people want, if they test there are no competitors and no ticket sales
