The World Natural Sports Organization (WNSO) is the official sanctioning body for athletic events and competitions held worldwide, providing the rules and regulations that must be adhered by as well as all drug screening measures.

With the mandate to provide a forum for individuals to be Body-Proud, people of all ages and backgrounds are now able to display the results of their determination on stage while inspiring and influencing others! The WNSO is extremely proud of all those who have shown commitment and dedication to the natural, healthy and active lifestyle having made amazing transformations and/or reached personal triumphs.

Back in 1998, entrepreneurs and natural fitness enthusiasts Jeffrey Kippel and Mindy Blackstien saw a serious void in the fitness and bodybuilding industries. At the time not one single sanctioning body implemented or enforced set rules designed to promote drug-free events.

Jeff and Mindy knew athletes committed to all-natural training desperately needed an organization dedicated to providing them with fair playing fields and the opportunity to excel in physique events with out added pressure to use steroids and other non-natural drugs. With a lot of courage, plenty of hard work and the invaluable support of a few enthusiastic athletes, World Natural Sports Organization (WNSO) was born.

 

Today WNSO is the official sanctioning body for the entire FAME World Tour where WNSO’s stringent rules and regulations are followed to ensure natural athletes everywhere can compete and succeed.

In the beginning urine testing was the only method that was proven to catch those who were trying to ‘get by’ the system.  However, WNSO soon discovered that urine testing alone was not an effective measure since the test results only came back after the contest had ended allowing those who were not natural to still get the spotlight on stage taking away from those who were actually deserving.  As well, new methods appeared on the market that made it much easier for athletes to provide a false negative test result.

Soon afterwards, WNSO implemented the Voice Stress Analysis Testing that was used by the Israeli Army at border crossings.  They looked into Lie Detectors and Hair Follicle Tests but were not impressed with the amount of inaccurate readings that could occur.  Blood Testing is too invasive and not allowed by certain religions.

Then in 2006, WNSO introduced the Physique Screening Panel as a method to ensure only those who had a natural looking physique would place well at the events.  The Panel, made up of qualified WNSO officials and judges, is still the method adhered to today as the stage has never been more ‘clean’.  The Panel evaluates every single athlete for signs that may indicate use of any banned substance.  Should anyone show signs, or suggestions of usage, the Panel can take them into private screening rooms for further evaluation and actual questioning.   If everyone on the Panel unanimously agrees that an athlete in question would not fair well in a contest for natural athletes, that athlete is not permitted to compete.  All other athletes who the Panel is cautious about will then be subject to Urine Testing &/or the Voice Stress Analysis Testing.
