10 YEARS DRUG FREE
Drug Testing has been a top priority with the INBF/WNBF for 32 Years!
The backbone of WNBF reputation is the strict adherence to stringent drug testing. We place the highest importance on ensuring that athletes are drug-free, so as to ensure fair competition at each and every event Worldwide.
We are proud to announce that we have over 8,000 urine test results on file in 2021!
All INBF/WNBF athletes must be 10 years drug free of prescription/pharmaceutical hormones on the banned substance list and two years free of over-the-counter hormones, pro-hormones or banned substances listed or their chemical counterparts, unless otherwise noted, prior to their first INBF or WNBF competition.
Natural bodybuilding is the process of creating an aesthetic and proportionate body through skeletal muscle hypertrophy, which is achieved through a balanced diet and progressive strength training without the use of substances and methods according to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.
This list is used in the WNBF to prevent violations of the fundamental rules of participation in competitions. WNBF steroid and diuretic testing policies and procedures are compliant with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.
Before being eligible to compete abroad, an athlete must prove his or her level of competence in Ukraine. Already in the fall, everyone who wants to try their hand at the first natural bodybuilding tournament in the history of our country will have such an opportunity! Each athlete will undergo a polygraph test, and the absolute winners of the categories will take urine tests, which we will send overseas to a laboratory located in California.
The WNBF doping test platform has stood the test of time. Since 1989, thousands of athletes from around the world have confirmed their compliance with the terms and conditions of the federation!
Quality doping testing is the foundation of fair sport!
2 levels of doping control:
Level 1
Polygraph testing (all participants will be tested 2-4 days out the competition)
Level 2
Urine analysis (Overall winners are required to urine test immediately after leaving the stage from awards)
