2006 LIST OF INBF BANNED SUBSTANCES
The amnesty program is still in effect for the following:
Prohormores from 1 year to 2 years from the date of this show.
Ephedrine from 6 months of the date of this show.
This is for new people to the INBF not people that let the organziation a few years ago and want to come back. This is a one shot deal.
The following substances and related compounds are banned by the International Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation (INBF)and their use constitutes grounds for dismissal from INBF Competitions and suspension from membership privileges in the organization.
ANABOLIC STEROIDS. Including but not limited to bolasterone, boldenone, chioroxomesterone (dyhdrochlormethyltesterone), clostebol, fluoxymesterone, mesterolone, methandienone, methyltestosterone, nandrolone, norethandrolone, oxandrolone, oxymetholone, stanozolol, testosterone and all other related compounds.
TESTOSTERONE (injections, patches, gels) in any form or for any reason.
TESTOSTERONE/EPITESTOSTERONE RATIO The T/E ratio is used to measure the presence of exogenous testosterone, or illicit elevation of testosterone levels. A T/E ratio in excess of 6/1 is ruled as positive, no matter what the cause. Note: Should the use of any substance cause an elevated T/E ratio in excess of the 6/1 limit, the athlete will be ruled as positive (failure).

HORMONES AND ALL PRECURSORS & METABOLITES, DERIVATIVES AND RELATED COMPOUNDS The use of any hormone (injectable, oral, sublingual or otherwise) for bodybuilding purposes – including insulin – is strictly prohibited.

Prescription Thyroid hormone medication when used for bodybuilding purposes is banned. Pro-Steroids (1-Test), etc. are banned effective January 1, 2000. The presence of any banned substance in the urine (i.e., nandrolone, etc.), no matter how it arrived there, is ruled as a positive (failure).

With all the news about the FDA ban on ephedra being overturned via court action, the INBF and its affiliated organizations (the pro WNBF and amateur NANBF) have been watching the ongoing ephedra controversy very closely. Nevertheless, the INBF’s ban on ephedra use has not changed!
