Bodybuilding testing?

With all the steroid testing in the other sporting events I was wondering whether bodybuilders are tested before and after competitions here in the US as well as other countries. With all the ads and implied, accused, and admitted use on many YouTube vids, it seems that there isn't. If not, why not? Am I just being naive?

Some do, some don't. Dunno about which specific ones, though.

I am almost positive that they do indeed test for illegal substances at many competitions, moreso on the National level. Can someone that has been to or participated in such competitions verify what I thought I have heard?

Looks like Wolfie was quicker at typing than I was at that...lol

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." (I'm just jokin...I just REALLY wanted to say that.)

Actually, years ago, I watched on FitTV (when it existed), a special little one hour thing about bodybuilding, and if memory serves during the BB-er show towards the end, it showed them getting their cups and gettin tested for steroids. So one could probably safely assume yes on this.

I've never been tested and I know many who have placed high in competitions and have never been tested. For a 45$ entry fee I don't think that they can afford to test. I think most organizations mention testing so that the public knows that eveyone is natural..umm. ya.
I'm in Canada it might be different elsewhere.
Peace
