WNBF Anti-Doping Policies Worldwide
Drug Testing has been a top priority with the WNBF for over 35 Years!
The backbone of our 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 20,000 urine test results on file since 1989!
The use of drugs is strictly prohibited.
All 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 WNBF competition.
NOTICE: As of January 2022, urine or polygraph drug test failures for anabolic-androgenic steroids, growth hormones, and use of other oral or injectable performance-enhancing substances may incur a lifetime ban from WNBF membership privileges.

NEW AMATEUR COMPETITORS ONLY must not have used any pro-hormones or SARM's products for a minimum of 10 years before joining the WNBF for the first time. Over the counter banned supplement history will be evaluated on a one on one basis to determine eligibility.
CONSENT TO DRUG TESTING – When an athlete purchases a WNBF membership, you are providing consent to the WNBF to urine drug test you at events and/or randomly in and out of season. Athletes who refuse a test will be suspended indefinitely.
*PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION NOTICE At no point may any athlete use a prescription more frequently or at higher doses than it was prescribed by their physician. Medications may never be used for bodybuilding or weight loss purposes. All prescriptions have to be up to date, and a copy must be presented to the promoters of all WNBF-sanctioned events in order for the WNBF to issue a therapeutic use exemption (TUE).

Urine specimens in excess of a 4/1 ratio are red flagged and ruled as positive tests, no matter what the cause. In the event of elevated T/E results (which can occur naturally in a very small percent of the population) further, testing will be done via IRMS/CIR to determine if exogenous testosterone is present in the urine.
