Natural Bodybuilding
Written by admin on October 09, 2009
Natural bodybuilding is a growing trend that has been fueled by the negative public opinion of steroids. It is no secret that bodybuilders are the most prolific users of steroids and other supplements. However, the steroid controversies in baseball and other pro sports have led to a backlash against their use.
In addition, due to the desire by some to make bodybuilding an Olympic sport, several natural bodybuilding organizations were founded on the principle that no substance banned by the International Olympic committee may be used.
There are multiple natural bodybuilding organizations, and each has a different list of banned substances. Probably the most comprehensive lists are those that are identical to the IOC’s. This bans substances of several categories, including anabolic steroids, stimulants, narcotic analgesics, diuretics and peptide and glycoprotein hormones.
