t-Nation - How Natural Is Natural Bodybuilding?

  These days, natural bodybuilding simply means "not on steroids and other drugs right now... at least not the kind that can be easily detected."
•  There are many ways to beat drug tests, from intelligently timed drug cycles to good old fashioned bribery.
•  Today's "drug free" athletes and bodybuilders have a host of favorite drugs, including growth hormone and thyroid meds.


[h=2]The Real Story[/h]Let's be real here. Natural bodybuilding isn't completely natural. Hell, what is natural anyways? The definition of a natural athlete is very vague. Some go as far as to say that someone who takes creatine isn't "natural." Some bodybuilding federations approve natural supplements and pro-hormones that contain so-called illegal substances.
That aside, here's the real story: Men and women can compete in a natural show and come up clean on drug tests just a few months after finishing a hard cycle. "Natural" in this case simply means "not currently on steroids and other drugs at this very moment... as least not the ones that can be detected by a lame drug test at a bodybuilding show."

that shadow pro thing is such a gimmick, to me its a blatant attempt to give credibility to some T Nation author's opinion pieces.

The place started going downhill in article quality when they stopped regularly posting articles from Rippetoe and Wendler.
