DRUG TESTING

Drug testing screening methods used at OCB events are a means to determine eligibility. If competitors can not successfully pass any screening methods used, they will either not be allowed to compete if determined prior to the event (Ex. Polygraph test), or will be disqualified and be removed from official results if determined after an event (Ex. Urine test).

Competitors cannot have used any substances indicated as being banned for OCB competitions during the specified duration periods. All OCB shows use at least one method of screening for use of banned substances. Testing can be via polygraph, urinalysis, or both at the discretion of the show's promoter (effective January 1, 2009 all OCB events will be required to include polygraph testing).

IFPA Pro Qualifiers
OCB events that are designated as IFPA pro qualifiers polygraph all Bodybuilding and Figure competitors, and conduct urinalysis testing for Bodybuilding and Figure Open division overall winners (competitors are mailed a copy of their test results). Results from polygraph exams or urinalysis for other contests (whether for OCB or other federations) are not honored.

Competitors are responsible for ensuring they are tested at events. Polygraph examiners supply the OCB home office with a list of contestants tested after each show. Urinalysis results come directly to the OCB home office. If it's discovered any participants who should have been tested were not, they will be disqualified and removed from the official results. If any Open division overall winners do not provide a urine sample at IFPA pro qualifiers, eligibility to compete in the IFPA pro federation will be void.

Competitors participating in any Bodybuilding or Figure division are subject to mandatory screening methods in place for a show. Competitors participating in only Ms. Fitness, Fitness Model or Body Transformation contestants are not. However, note that forms of testing in addition to the required may be requested of select Bodybuilding, Figure, Ms. Fitness, Fitness Model or Body Transformation competitors at any OCB event at the promoter's discretion and expense. This could include polygraph, urinalysis, voice stress, blood, saliva, hair testing or other means of detection.

Competitors are ultimately responsible for substances they take. If urine test results come back positive for any banned substance, competitors are disqualified regardless of what may have been responsible for the positive result.
