NANBF Natural Iowa Championships

Integrity in Every Inch

​The work doesn’t end when the stage lights go down. In fact, for the team behind the scenes, the most critical work is just beginning.

​As soon as the trophies are handed out, our commitment to a fair, level playing field is in full motion and Monday, the tests are out the door.

We take drug testing seriously, from the polygraph to the urine analysis, because the athletes who put in the grueling hours, the disciplined dieting, and the unwavering consistency deserve to know they are competing in a clean environment.

​The Standard of Excellence

● ​Speed is Key: As you can see, those samples are packed, sealed, and out the door via FedEx Express immediately.

● ​Chain of Custody: We maintain a rigorous protocol from the moment a sample is collected to the moment it hits the lab.

● ​Total Transparency: Natural bodybuilding is about the pursuit of the ultimate physique through hard work and dedication. We’re here to protect that legacy.

​When we say we’re "Tested," we mean it. It’s not just a label—it’s a promise to our athletes, our fans, and the sport itself.

​Excellence. Integrity. No Shortcuts. 🏆💪
