This is jsut what I heard before, that you can have used before and be natural, I think that there is a limit on how much you could have done. I don't know this for a fact, just what I once heard. Probably no help, but that is all I have.
I think all shows are different....I've seen it where the rules say drug free for a certain amount of time....Some also do a polygraph which isn't as expensive
Each contest is different. Some random test before competition and not just the finalist. I keep hearing polygraphs are becoming more popular, but I've yet to hear of anyone failing one.
i'm surprised that they use polygraphs, I know that they are accurate to an extent, but what about the guys that even flunk their own name and such? What do they do then. True they have to do something though.
I've heard of having to pay for the test yourself, to prove you're natural,
as if I'm going to pay 300 bucks, and know I'm gonna fail, which is probably how they see it
the ones around here that Ive heard of, polygraph test, and then the top guys get piss tests. That was for a 5 year clean comp. and the 1st place winner lost his placing later when the piss results came in.
It must be easy to beat though, because some of the national competitors on American Muscle are NOT natural.
