Effective Season B 2025
We’ve heard your concerns, and we’re taking action to uphold the integrity of natural bodybuilding.
From Season B 2025, YNF will be introducing a new policy: Any athlete who returns a positive drug test and has consented to our updated anti-doping policy during registration will have their name and disqualification publicly disclosed across our platforms.
We’re currently finalising legal safeguards to ensure this process is fair, enforceable, and aligned with privacy laws. Once locked in, it will be a core part of YNF’s commitment to a clean and level playing field.
Over our eight shows, 64 overall champions have been tested, and five competitors have been disqualified for banned substances. These numbers highlight our seriousnes,s but we’re going even further now to set the gold standard for transparency.
Going forward, all athletes will be required to agree to this policy during registration. (More info coming soon.) We understand some may ask why names from previous shows weren’t disclosed. That’s because those athletes didn’t provide consent at the time. This new policy ensures full clarity and agreement from the start.
We’re here to protect the athletes who honour the natural standard and to send a clear message: natural means natural.
We feel bodybuilding has become extremely complicated over the years, with too many crossovers. We have simplified this by limiting crossovers. We feel it will make it better for the competitors, coaches, judges and audience. Athletes will know which category fits their physique.
Drug testing is done on the day of competition. Athletes are chosen by judges. If a competitors test comes back positive, it is a lifetime ban from YNF Australia. For more in depth information about drug testing please head to terms and conditions.
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.
