I did my first qualifier yesterday with the British Natural Bodybuilding Federation.
My condition was off, which I knew it would be, and I didn't qualify, BUT I did get drug tested.
The official came up to me after I came off the stage, said I was the random selection for drug testing.
I was given this little package of bits, and a female official came with me to the loo.
I had to pee in this big cup, which had a temperature indicator strip on the side, which she looked at, and then pour it into two smaller containers that had wee flip down locking things on them.
I went back to the first official, he sealed the containers with a A and B sample (with bar codes), filled out some paperwork, had me sign that the samples were not adulterated when I produced them, popped it all into a sealing specimen bag, and then I got to eat brownies (which I really shouldn't have a diet break as I did not qualify as I am fat)
The samples are freeze-dried in a lab in the UK, then sent to Quest labs in the US for testing.
How cool is that?
Obviously, we don't do as much drug testing here, so either it is cheaper or more legal or something to have them done in the States.
Anyway, you can see why I was tested, I look like a MONSTER next to the other women.
There were 6 women in my class, physique (BBing), more pics in the women's section in my comp prep thread.

I am having today off, well, I will probably train legs as I am so carb loaded (I know what over-spilling now means), back on full on cardio and diet tomorrow for the next qualifier for the next federation.
