I know the FCPAQ and the CBBF require you to be clean for 5 years.

I understand lifetime naturals not likeing ex-juicers competing againsn't them but maybe they should ask for a seperate federation for lifetime natural.

Honestly, once you have been off for 5 yrs the benefits form the gear are gone. Have you seen Kevin Levrone unveiled in his comeback? Sure he looks better than last year and great for a natural but he looks more like an underwear model then an Arnold Classic winner. He has about 40-45lbs of lean body mass less and he has one of the best genetics in the world.

I don't understand why people would compete in natural shows and try to beat drug tests, its the stupidest, most unethical thing I can think of. Why not just do regular shows?

Some ex-juicers decided to stop gear years ago, they stop for legal reasons, long term health concerns, change of priorities, etc... I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to compete as naturals as long as they have waited out the 5 yr waiting period.
