    DRUG TESTING HAS BEEN OUR TOP PRIORITY FOR OVER 40 YEARS!

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 22,000 urine test results on file since 1984!

    NOTICE: As of January 2022, urine or polygraph drug test failures for anabolic-androgenic steroids, growth hormones, peptides, SARMs products, and use of other oral or injectable performance-enhancing substances will incur a lifetime ban from WNBF/NANBF membership privileges.

    Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) equipment is used to determine Testosterone/Epitestosterone (T/E) Ratios.

    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 percentage of the population) further, testing will be done via IRMS/ CIR to determine if exogenous testosterone is present in the urine. This will be done at the athlete’s expense via a WADA-accredited lab in Utah.

    Note: Athletes with an elevated T/E may be banned for 10 years to life even if additional IRMS/CIR testing is not conducted.
