And? What do you expect the IFBB to do? What do you think they should do? Do you think they should institute WBF style drug testing and kill the sport? They won't because they know that would be the death of the sport.
Drug testing solves nothing. Random infrequent drug testing = a few athletes are burned for nothing. Wide scale drug testing a la WBF = the athletes go to NABBA or where ever they can continue unhindered.
I agree that the IFBB is the top bodybuilding organization with the best shows ans pros, etc. It always was and will be for some time, no question about it.
However, trung to defend a format,based on fan appeal, that essentially requires these same pros to BREAK THE LAW just to compete on a level playing field is ludicrous at best.
No pro athelte should be required to break the drug laws , just to compete fairly. Think about it, you actually have to risk breaking the drug laws to compete as a pro now. How is that position able to be dfended on the merits of the policy?tell me , please???
Once again, just because the fans want to see pros on illegal drugs is hardly grounds to defend the position.
I guess the next poor pro who ets busted can tell the judge : " Well your honor the fans demand to see freaks, so I had to juice to the gills."
The Judge will of course reply; " Oh I know, you are 100% correct and case dissmissed!
As fans we bear no legal burdens and get to see INCREDIBLE physiques on the IFBB stage.
The promoters get to sell more tickets and the IFBB remains the top BB sanction.
A handful of the top pros do ok, but the rest don't do very well, end up getting busted or with servere health troubles.
