Natural Requirements

• All competitors must be drug free for at least five (5) years. Drug testing is to conform to IOC regulated Standards.
• Once your entry form is received you will be contacted to verify that we recieved your entry and if necessary your appointment time for the polygraph test. Other than that you will be tested the day of the show. Be prepared for random urine.
• All overall winners will be required to take a urine test.
• This includes all performance enhancing "drugs" that are on the IOC banned list, with the exception of Ephedrine which we will put on the Restricted List - this means that the athletes will not be permitted to use Ephedrine for the 21 day period before the competition.
• We will also conduct random drug testing at each event as well as random testing to all members of the Bulgarian Natural Team throughout the year, however, because Ephedrine is on the restricted list we will not be testing for its use during the random tests.
• If an athlete tests positive for a banned substance they will be suspended from competing for a minimum of five years.
• Any member of the Bulgarian Natural Team that is found experimenting with a banned substance will be banned from the team for life. The athlete suspension begins immediately upon receipt of a positive test. The athlete has the right to appeal the decision, however, the suspension remains in effect until either the "B" sample confirms or refutes the findings or a meeting is held by the representatives of the BNBFF and the International committee where the case may be appealed. Once a final ruling is made by the BNBFF and International INBA committee it is final. In the case of an inaccurate reading on the polygraph test they will be obliged to undergo a urine test with a final decision pending a meeting of the INBA Committee."
• Be advised that among the banned/restricted substances is ephedrine and its derivatives, DHEA and Andro and all of its derivatives. It is your responsibility to be aware of the substances that are on the banned list. Ignorance is not an excuse.
• Polygraph tests will be given the day of the contest (special arrangements must be made in advance for day before testing).
• If you should fail the polygraph test twice, you will be disqualified from competition for 1-5 years pending on the contest, from the BNBFF. Be prepared for a random urine test.
