Where do I start.... well in order for you to understand my claim I have to tell you what I was led to believe when I became a member of the INBA, this supposedly, highest tested, drug free bodybuilding organization. That is what they preach from day one and yes they do a urine sampling at the local shows to make it seem like they are legit. Nonetheless, I won a local INBA show and qualified to do their Pro Natural Olympia 7 weeks away. They proceeded to encourage me to compete there and since my goal was to compete at the highest level it was an easy sell. Again the "President" of the organization said a number of times how hard they were going to test, claiming he was going to either do hair or blood. I was looking forward to see how such highly tested international show would unfold. These people really had their "act" together, they had us arrive 2 days early for drug testing and required us to stay in the host Hotel or would be fined. Well.... come drug test time I arrived to sign in and was told that I was clean and didn't have to drug test since I passed within 7 weeks prior to the show!
I was dumbfounded, never in my 35 years of competing have I heard anything like this. That basically means that everyone has a window of opportunity to do a cycle of steroids with no fear of getting caught. Don't be fooled this is not a thoroughly drug tested organization.
$2000 of my own hard earned money later = lesson learned
