IDFA Pro Champion, Dickens Lambert, on cover of SeriousAboutMuscle mag
Febuary, 2009
Pro Show winner, Dickens Lambert, was featured in SeriousAboutMuscle, the online bodybuilding magazine. In the article "Natural Bodybuilding is Big in Canada!", publisher Doug Schneider speaks about the popularity of natural bodybuilding and the impressive growth of the IDFA.
"The IDFA, another Canadian-based organization, handles things differently. IDFA stands for International Drug Free Athletics so, of course, by having "drug free" in their name, you’d expect all their competitions to be tested – and they are. What’s impressive about the IDFA is the way they’ve grown in a very short time by offering only drug-tested events. The organization started in 2005 with just two shows and this year they’re up to seven," states Schneider.
According to Schneider, "it is apparent from the popularity of natural bodybuilding that there is a big market for it and, as a result, any negative aspects of testing should be offset by the potential that is there to make it a huge success. One just has to look at the number of drug-tested events that take place each year in Canada and to witness the explosive growth of the IDFA to see that."
