Finally.. synthenol has been banned by the IFBB. I think it's about damn time! For those of you who don't know about it, synthenol is an oil which bodybuilders inject directly into their muscles to 'blow them up' or 'inflate them'. It has gotten very much out of hand recently. Just look at Markus Ruhl, Jason Arntz shoulders; 4 out of the top 6 Mr. Olympia placing where full of it! There is no real way to test for the oil, so the judges will make visual observations while the competitors are on stage and then penalize their scores accordingly. I am very happy with this new ban! What do you guys think????

Exactly.. it's dangerous as well.. did u guys hear about Milos Sarcev injecting the oil into his vein by accident? He was out cold in seconds cause it went straight to his heart.. almost died!

It goon be interesting to see how the placing change now..

I think its a good idea as long as they don't penalize someone thats inocent.
