YNF drug testing policy and procedures are carried out with the highest standards and professionalism.
We recommend you download the Sports Integrity Australia app so you can check to see if any supplements are on the ban list.
Or, call Sports Integrity Australia on 1300 027 232. If calling from outside Australia, call: +61 2 6222 4200. Or, Paul Wigger at Fat Burners Only on 08 63711994.
Urine drug test failures for anabolic-androgenic steroids, growth hormones, and use of other oral or injectable performance-enhancing substances may incur a lifetime ban.
YNF conducts drug testing on some athletes during all competitions. Any athlete found to be using banned substances will be disqualified from the competition and may face other penalties. YNF takes drug use very seriously and urges all athletes to compete naturally and within the rules. Read our Competition Terms & Conditions for information about being a member of YNF and competing.
Once a competitor registers with YNF Australia’s terms and conditions, they shall be bound to abide by our drug testing policies.
If a competitor returns a positive sample analysis, all medals/prizes shall be returned to YNF Australia immediately. The competitor will have to bear the cost of the drug test analysis.
The consequences of a positive drug test will inflict A LIFETIME BAN with YNF Australia; this result will also be published on our website and social media.
We are a natural federation, and all enhancement-type drugs are prohibitive.
If you have any questions or concerns about the supplements you are taking, reach out to the team at Fat Burner Only to get answers. If you have any questions about competing in a YNF competition, please get in touch with us.
Your Natural Federation’s vice president and co-founder, Paul Comport, and owner of Fat Burners Only (@fbosupps), Paul Wiggerowner, dive into the topic of drug testing and natural bodybuilding.
Natural bodybuilding is a type of strength training focusing on building muscle and sculpting a lean physique without using performance-enhancing drugs. It is a healthy and sustainable way to build strength, stamina, and self-confidence.
Your Natural Federation (YNF) is an organization that promotes natural bodybuilding, and it has a strict policy against the use of performance-enhancing drugs. This policy is in place to ensure that all athletes compete on a level playing field and that the sport remains a safe and healthy pursuit.
Performance-enhancing drugs, also known as PEDs, are substances that athletes may use to enhance their performance in sports. These drugs may include anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, testosterone, and other drugs designed to increase muscle mass, strength, and endurance.
Using PEDs is not only against the rules of the YNF but also poses serious health risks to athletes who use them. Anabolic steroids, for example, can cause liver damage, high blood pressure, and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Human growth hormones can cause joint pain, swelling, and an increased risk of diabetes.
In addition to the health risks, using PEDs can lead to severe consequences for athletes, including suspension, fines, and even legal trouble. The YNF is committed to ensuring that all athletes compete fairly and safely, and using performance-enhancing drugs goes against these values.
At the end of the day, it’s up to the athlete to know what it is they are putting into their body; they are 100% responsible.
Please be careful when purchasing sports supplements, as certain products may have banned ingredients [especially from overseas].
Don’t get caught out by non-education!
Our goal is to not only have a prestige show here in WA but run YNF shows in other states and further down the track other countries, then we look forward to having State, National and World Titles. We know our passion for this industry will take us far in the Natural Bodybuilding world.
