Bob Luder reports<\/a> for the Kansas City Star<\/em> In an article entitled, “Bodybuilders to compete for ‘Xtreme Fit’ Championship.” Excerpt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In preparation for the fifth annual Natural Southern States Classic and “Xtreme Fit” Championship, bodybuilders throughout a five-state region that includes Missouri and Kansas have pumped plenty of iron, diligently practiced their posing in front of the mirror and lathered on the body oils.<\/p>

To get into the competition, they also will have to slip their fingers into electronic sensors and answer a list of questions, hoping that the needles running along the paper don’t make any sudden jumps.<\/p>

That’s right, the Natural Southern States Classic and “Xtreme Fit” Championship, which gets started at 8:30 Saturday morning at the Liberty Performing Arts Center, goes to xtremes [sic] in enforcing the natural aspect of their competition.<\/p>

“We’re proud to be a drug-free organization doing something about the unhealthy abuse of illegal growth-enhancement drugs,” said event coordinator John Arnold of ProActive Fitness, Inc.<\/p>

To that end, every bodybuilder registered for the competition will not only be subjected to a urinalysis drug test on Friday night, but will be required to take a polygraph test Saturday morning.<\/p>

If a subject fails either test, he or she will automatically be banned from North American Natural Bodybuilding Federation<\/a> competitions for a minimum of seven years.<\/p>

“These rules are strictly enforced,” said Arnold, an ardent bodybuilder who competes in the competition.<\/p>

In previous years competitors have been randomly selected to undergo polygraphs during the competition. This year the lie-detector will be mandatory for every competitor.<\/p>

“Each polygraph test takes one-half hour, and we’ll have around 45 competitors,” Arnold said. “One hundred percent polygraph is a lot of work for us.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you are concerned about the polygraph requirement for this competition, you can reach coordinator John Arnold at (816) 781-9308 or by e-mail to natrlbuild@aol.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
