Title: Has any pro ever been disqualified over synthol or implants?
Post by: Howard on April 28, 2009, 08:35:47 AM
I know boob implants are pretty common and a NON issue for woman, but has anyone ever heard of an actual disqualification for a BB useing synthol or muscle implants?

Probably why Vic didn't win the 07 Olympia, same as Flex never winning it either, same goes for Nasser.  People complain at how Dorian shouldn't have beat them, but can you spot synthol on Dorian?  No.  Even though Flex and Nasser looked better than Dorian at a couple Olympias, the reason they didn't win was because of the evident synthol abuse. Synthol is not bodybuilding but cheating.

The most overt violation of the rules with no punishment was Lou Ferrigno.

I know some have been rumored to be marked down over synthol and obviously didn't deserve to win looking like that.
However, since it against the rules and grounds for disqualification on the IFBB pro rules web pg, shouldn't they be disqualfied at the weigh in and not allowed to compete ?

Think man, think! How would you go about deciding who has gone overboard with the Synthol? In your opinion should Victor Martinez be disqualified from all contests? Darrem Charles?

An actual disqualification of Synthol users is impossible to enforce for several reasons.

I gotta say you consistently have some of the worst reasoning out of any poster on these forums.

I was just making a pt about the actual written rules vs what is/is NOT enforced.
The reality is that are,  no actual enforced rule for much of anything is there?
Hmmm, 48 pgs of rules on drugs/banned substances and we all know what goes on.
Same with synthol and implants, etc.
If they know you can't or won't try to disqalify a BB for synthol, why have a rule against it ( under banned substances)
My pt really is, if you have no plans to enforce the rule , why have it on the books?
Makes you wonder if pro BB has any actual rules?

She got placed just out of the top 6 and thus no money.Bob Chic did a good interview of her on this last yr about it on PBR. She had some odd loking bumps, scars on her lower glute ( injection site?).
My hunch is that the IFBB judges did the practical thing and sent a message of what NOT to have showing on stage. If they disqualify over banned substances they open the door to having to enforce the bannedsubstances/drug rules, which is another story.

IIRC was it 1993 when Shawn Ray accused Flex of having calf implants.

None that I've ever heard of...what generally happens is that the BB in question just gets placed lower. It would be too hard to prove such a thing (especially on the spot)....Bottom line is, if it looks strange and takes away from the physique in any way...then you get marked down accordingly. If it looks like blatent implants, inj sites, etc....then they should be placed dead last

Yeah, we talked about this before at expos and both agree this is the most practical way to handle the manner.
I just think it should be under JUDGING criteria ONLY and forget the endless pgs of rules on banned substances.
Since BB is based on how you LOOK, if you LOOK like a science experiemnt gone bad, you get last.

I don't agree with you because if this was the case so why were they always placing flex wheeler over someone like shawn ray??..

to quote van bilderas... "this is bodybuilding, all that matters is what you look like, no one cares about what you did to get there."

most guys use synthol that are pros.... and if they dont...well guess what? synthol is oil inject IM....and guess what.. AAS is 75% oil.... so even if not using 'synthol"...every inject of AAS is going t be "synthol like" to a small degree.... now does every person on steroids look like they used synthol? no...shawn ray look totally synthol free...however he did inject tons of steroid into him over the years...so he does have a bunch of synthol effects in his muscls for sure...    which just goes to show that small to moderate use of synthol will look perfectly normal and nobody will tell at all that its synthol use..

It doesn't.  :'(

i like the way they cherry pick the degrees of artificiality.  because probodybuilding isn't natural we judge artificiality but if an implant? if it's passable OK but if not dead last.

Thanks for the pics guys, and thanks to you too, Nub.

Jesus Christ, arms implants are fookin' crap! But I guess like everything else, ya get what ya pay for.

Lou 'Excuse Me?' Ferrigno has calf implants, of course, and I reckon Arnold had some put in not long after arriving in the States. Probably at Weider's prompting.

I'd hate to have shit calves. My arms ain't great, but if that's what implants look like...  :o

LOL!

Thanks again.

The above pic has been photo shopped badly.....the guy in question has annihilated his physique with implants and SEO, was there any need to attempt to make it look worse? 

DAMY this was the pic in question so I need not to look at the gym for it now, not that I forgot or anything! LOL The tool has had implants and/or SEO, but quite clearly thought; "fuck it, symmetry don't matter!"
