IFBB drug testing policies

[deadpan]

so what exactly is the deal with IFBB drug testing?

arnold says they're tested but obviously they aren't too strict about it

do they only test for certain compounds? is it done randomly just to set an example, or maybe for "political" reasons? what about pre-show, can you just walk in the bathroom and shoot and then walk out on the Mr. Olympia stage?

it doesn't seem like this topic is discussed alot so i thought i would start a thread

you can't discuss something that doesn't exist

you can't discuss something that doesn't exist

so it just straight up doesn't exist? anything goes? it's kinda weird since their official stance is that they do, do they just "reserve the right" to do it? in other words can weider fuck over someone he doesn't like?

sure they test for drugs.

but they don't care if you fail with flying black and white.

When was the last time the IFBB set an example for an "athlete" failing a drug test?    


That should be your answer right there.

They better add alpha helix usa to the testing protocol...    it sounds like some bad ass shit right there, according to the board of directors.

lol at policy.

This is how the test goes

IFBB Testing Official:  "Phil Heath, put your right hand over your heart and answer this questions.  Have you ever taken steroids?"

Phil Heath: " No Sir"

IFBB Testing Official: "You pass, next in line, Jay Cutler, put your right hand over ........."
