I have long held the view that Natural Bodybuilding, once the testing regime is continous, comprehensive and respected, should be recognised as an Olympic Sport. Those who compete in a Natural capacity should be recognised as the outstanding Athletes which they are. Please join this online petition and let us get bodybuilding back to its rightful place in the sporting world!

Reaching this level of visibility proves the Olympic committee can no longer ignore the legitimacy of natural bodybuilding. Go to the official International Olympic Committee Twitter account today and tell them why our athletes deserve a spot on the world stage.
