At the NSW State Titles on Sunday 27th September 2009, in a world first for Natural bodybuilding, five INBA competitors were requested by to provide blood samples to be analysed. Twelve more blood tests were taken at the Australian Titles. Blood has the advantage of been able to detect growth hormone and insulin. Whereas urine testing is unable to detect GH at this point in time. Several INBA competitors have now been required to submit to both urine and blood testing in what is the most advanced and comprehensive screening for drug-use available in the world today. Blood samples are taken by an ASADA nurse at our events. A second major advantage blood testing offers INBA is the sample collection process is completed in moments and doesn’t require dehydrated competitors to sit at the venue for hours after a contest attempting to rehydrate to supply a urine sample.
