ASADA Drug Test findings recently published show INBA is the most successful drug detection sporting body in Australia. During the 2008-09 financial year ASADA conducted 7,498 tests over 100 sports resulting in 29 drug test violations been registered. Of those 29 positive tests involving 12 sports, INBA finished at the top of the sporting table recording 10 positives (35%) from our testing. Astounding if you consider that INBA competitors accounted for just 1% of the testing pool. It beggars belief that drug-using bodybuilders continue to line up to be ousted by INBA, when they can compete in other bodybuilding contests with no drug testing.

INBA has used ASADA as our drug testing body since 1991 and this fact is well known in the sport. INBA has continuously caught and banned cheats (for LIFE in most cases) every year and this is widely acknowledged in the sport, yet cheats still consider the risk is worth an INBA Title. INBA has now reached the point where enough is enough. If testing and failing a drug test is not enough deterrent, then the punishment must be so painful as to make the risk unjustifiable. In 2010, INBA will apply life-lasting repercussions against competitors who wish to vilify our natural platform. INBA Australia will launch a Hall of Shame webpage which will highlight competitors who fail our drug testing in 2010 and beyond. The competitor’s name and photograph, along with information detailing the test result will be posted on our Hall of Shame page. This will keep their disgrace alive and available for anyone searching their name on the web, no longer with ‘time hide the crime’. INBA Hall of Shame is in addition to the current sanctions and consequences. INBA Hall of Shame will apply to competitors caught using ‘known bodybuilding substances’ like steroids and diuretics thats action is seen as a deliberate attempt to knowingly use drugs when competing against drug-free competitors.
