Title: Belgian Bodybuilding - competitors flee when doping officials show up
Post by: Moen on May 18, 2009, 01:49:33 AM
Yesterday the Belgian Nationals was held in Holland (they do it in Holland to avoid some law(s))

The Belgian doping committee arrived at the weigh in and instantly every single competitor left (even the women) and the contest was canceled right away. Fucking hilarious ! It's all over the newspapers today obviously

Whats even more funny is the pictures of past events, these guys are smaller than most guys at natural shows are (go figure huh)

They seem to have rules concerning doping so I guess they do?
This test (or attempt to test) was done by the Belgian doping authority though, not nabba itself.

Yes. National commission can test any athlete competing under their flag wherever that may be.
The organisers apparently didnt even know this themselves, hence why they have been organising the Belgian nationals in Holland to this day  :D

My understanding from a friend in Belgium, the doping commission has jurisdiction because many years ago NABBA Belgium requested recognition from the government as an official sports organization.  IFBB Belgium did the same.  Had it been just a private company or individual putting on a show, then they wouldn't have jurisdiction.

Event canceled after competitors flee

BRUSSELS -- The Belgian bodybuilding championship has been canceled after doping officials showed up and all the competitors fled.

A doping official says bodybuilders just grabbed their gear and ran off when he came into the room.

"I have never seen anything like it and hope never to see anything like it again," doping official Hans Cooman said Monday.

Twenty bodybuilders were entered in the weekend competition.

Cooman says the sport has a history of doping "and this incident didn't do its reputation any good."

During testing of bodybuilding events last year, doping authorities of northern Belgium's Flanders region found that three-quarters of the competitors tested positive.

Carrying that much muscle is not healthy, without even taking into consideration the dangerous drugs they are ingesting to look that way. Yes, there are other athletes who are out of shape, but the "ideal" professional bodybuilder would have difficulty doing most activities the commoner would deem "athletic".

Wrong.

Bodybuilding = fags shooting themselves up with tons of drugs and getting fucked in the ass by fags after the "shows". Most BB'ers = dirt poor, and there = very little money to be earned in the "sport".

Other sports = less drugs, harder training, more healthy and much higher sums to be earned + more respect from the general population.

+ BBing = not really entertaining, only sexually arousing for fags.

Bodybuilding in 'all its forms' is viewed as an absolute joke....a drug fuelled joke....a homosexual laughing stock....a corrupt circus of fags, retards and queens.

For example, the mere site of a bodybuilder walking down the street (let alone a Bodybuilding show), brings about jeers of repulsion from bemused onlookers!

This Belgian Bodybuilding debacle is symbolic in nature. -The sight of roided-little-men fleeing in fear, backstage, when  the drug-testers arrive, illustrates once again how pathetic, deluded and non-valued this so-called sport has become. The public are fed up...and so they should be!

The Belgian experience is evidence again that the mainstream are 'over' this homosexual-drug-sport....I call upon for mandatory drug testing at 'all' events, both Pro and Amateur sanctioned.
Title: Bodybuilding championship canceled after competitors flee
Post by: challenge on May 18, 2009, 07:06:54 PM
BRUSSELS (AP) -- Ready to flex their pecs and strike a pose, bodybuilders at the Belgian championships scattered when doping officials showed up.

After a spate of positive doping tests in recent years in Belgium, the event had been moved across the Dutch border to Vlissingen for the weekend competition.
"They must have felt safe out there," doping official Hans Cooman told the Associated Press on Monday.

But Cooman and two colleagues got the necessary papers to check the tournament in the Netherlands. And when they identified themselves just before the event -- with the 20 bodybuilders weighing in and preparing themselves -- the testers drew quite a response.

The bodybuilders got up and left, preferring to quit rather than submit to doping tests. Some grabbed their gear and headed straight out the door.

"They must have been flabbergasted," Cooman said.

Bodybuilders usually take months to prepare for such championships, yet the sight of controllers was too much for them.

"I have never seen anything like it and hope never to see anything like it again," Cooman said.

Bodybuilding has a long history of doping, and Cooman said this latest flap "didn't do its reputation any good."

Last year, 22 of 29 tests were positive, either for steroids or for refusing testing, a failure rate of a staggering 75 percent.
"This was the first time though we turned up in the Netherlands," Cooman said.

Minutes before the start of the championships, before even one gleaming pose was on display, organizers had no option but to tell a few hundred fans that had come to the Arsenaal theater that there was not point in staying.

Now Cooman and his colleagues will report the case to the disciplinary committee, which will have to decide whether the bodybuilders can be punished because they refused to be tested.

A man who refused to give his name at the NABBA Belgium bodybuilding federation could not explain why the competitors had suddenly rushed off and would not discuss the matter.

Are you kidding me?  Europe is a fucked up place.  The US might have made steroids controlled substances, but at least here there aren't any government officials with a right to test people running around.  Only sanctioning bodies can test, their results apply to their own organization only, and they sure as hell aren't government officials or law enforcment.

I DO NOT KNOW EVEN ONE SINGLE COMPETETIVE BODYBUILDER OR POWERLIFTER AS OF 2009THAT WON A COMPETITION AND IS  TRUE NATURALS ,,NOT ONE!

8 OUT OF 10 FELLAS IN YORU GYM HAVE BEEN TO HORMONES IN THEIR LIFE TIME,,


AMERICANOS ARE THE WORST,,THEY ARE THE WORST ABUSERS OF HORMONES AND GENERAL USERS OF DRUGS ,,THEY WILL ALSO HIDE IT AS MUCH AS THEY CAN EVEN FROM THEIR CLOSET RELATIVES,,NOT ALL BUT MOST,,

THERE WAS ONCE NATURAL BODYBUILDING TOO BACK IN THE DAY BUT NO MORE

Yes! And thera lots of other sports that use even more steroids that bbing... The difference is that 90% of bbers do not deny the use of steroids, but in every other sport, 90% of the athletes deny the use of steroids... So which one is more respectable? ;)

Tim is likely right about this situation.

Chances are this federation decided to get themselves recognized by their government and be in the running for government funding.

Once they receive tax payers money then they are subject to doping controls just like any other sport.

They figured they could get around it by holding their show in holland but it didn't work.

BRUSSELS -- The Belgian bodybuilding championship has been canceled after doping officials showed up and all the competitors fled.

A doping official says bodybuilders just grabbed their gear and ran off when he came into the room.

"I have never seen anything like it and hope never to see anything like it again," doping official Hans Cooman said Monday.

Twenty bodybuilders were entered in the weekend competition.

Cooman says the sport has a history of doping "and this incident didn't do its reputation any good."

During testing of bodybuilding events last year, doping authorities of northern Belgium's Flanders region found that three-quarters of the competitors tested positive.

No there are not a lot of other sports where they use more steroids than bodybuilding. There are a lot of drugs in other sports, cycling for example, but steroid use is highest in bb, with the exception of powerlifting where some use very heavy stacks. Then again it's not impossible to be a good powerlifter in the IPF for example without drugs, and place well, even win sometimes. But that's largely due to the assistance gear they use to their advantage (= they aren't extremely strong muscularly but are technicians and use the suits well). I know for a fact that you could take a medal at World Champs in IPF PL without ever using steroids. Medal in IFBB World Champs - not going to happen without drugs.

Bodybuilding = drugs. Other sports = drugs are involved but it's not an absolute impossibility to be a good tennis player or whatever without massive steroid use. Unlike bodybuilding.

thats right, whats funny is that you need to take steroids to win a medal in the IFBB worlds yet the IFBB test the bodybuilders and act like they have an anti doping policy, ::)

When out in public, ofcourse.
Don't ask me why a certain law is active or not, I don't make them  ;)

the key word in my question was looking like a pot head, not being intoxicated in public, but just fitting the profile.   you said that officials can order a drug test for just looking like you might have used steroids in the past.   can they randomly stop people and order tests for pot for just looking like a stoner?

Still... 90% of the athletes you mentioned never admit the use of steroids, which, in my point of view doesn't make them more respectable...

When out in public, sure, why wouldnt they if they are deemed suspicious?

because anyone can be deemed suspicious at any time.   In the US that would be a violation of the 4th Amendment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution).
