About the OCB
OCB (Organization of Competitive Bodybuilders) was founded in 2003 by Matt Shepley. The founding principles of OCB were:
To offer quality bodybuilding, fitness & figure competitions in the United States.
To provide opportunities for athletes to gain media exposure.
To offer competitors an avenue to advance to a professional level and have the opportunity to participate in international level competition, if desired, while not having to sacrifice other opportunities that exist in the sport.
To allow promoters to have flexibility to produce the events they fund in the manner they feel is best, as long as they're fair to athletes and drug testing is enforced.
OCB’s drug-free policy was first established as all shows being required to conduct a form of testing. The stated period for being drug-free for shows conducting polygraph testing was 5-years, unless otherwise stated by a promoter.
OCB Officials include:
Matt Shepley - National Chairman
Lee Shaffer - West Coast Chairman
Sean Sullivan - Expansion and Training/Nutrition Advisor
Doug Miller - OCB Doping Official
Bob Gormley - Consultant/Advisor
