TESTING PROCEDURE: As a condition of acceptance into this event, each bodybuilding contestant must pass a thorough 45-minute polygraph examination proving that he/she has not engaged in the use of anabolic steroids, clenbuterol, synthol, human growth hormone or non-over-the counter diuretics at any time during the preceding 36 calendar months. Upon receipt of entry form and fee, the contestant will be notified where to go in Denver or Colorado Springs for polygraph testing. The testing center will attempt to accommodate each contestant's schedule. There will not be any additional charge to the contestant for the test. No notes from doctors allowed. Please be advised: Polygraph testing schedules are likely to be inconvenient for many competitors but it is the only way that ALL bodybuilders can be tested prior to the event.  This is the best way to create a level playing field for bodybuilders instead of random testing on the day of the show, or after the show. Thank you for your understanding.  This has been what has made NPC Natural Events in Colorado some of the best in the USA!
