welterweight takes overall at Team Universe

[Getnbiggger]

well its nice to see a "little" guy winning an overall. Chris Faldo, a welterweight took his class and the overall at the team Universe this weekend. Maybe there is hope for us smaller guys to win overalls!

I like this as well gives the smaller guys hope. I am however going up to Middleweight next season

His last name is actually Faildo. He's been around for a LONG time - he won the lightweight class at the 1993 USAs and also won that class at the TU quite a few years in the mid-90s. Longetivity and consistency pays off!

o.k.
so are the team universe tested?
i saw that melissa detwiller won also, i belive she is not "natural" so i am wondering what the situation is here?

i think someone said they are tested but, it is easy to "pass"

most seasoned bodybuilders taper off longer acting gear when it comes competition time and switch to fast acting gear. So you could use test suspension up to 2 days before testing and still pass testing.
Natural competitors are just guys that couldn't make it in the non-tested divisions

This blanket statement seems a bit uncalled for and disrespectful of those who really do compete by the rules.

KM2000 are you insinuating that the "drug tests" are bull shit? OMG come on now....that couldn't be possible....

haven't met one of those guys yet

Chris Faildo is from my town and trains quite a few people for the state show here. He always brings them in top condition...congrats to him..

 

[gfactor]

I think if you were of natural status.... I think the federation should have random tests...

 

[LATS]

i've said it before.. drug tested events are not "natural" events.. if ya pass the test you can compete.. the team universe is a drug tested event.. if ya know what your doing, it is not hard to pass.. the ifbb world champs has some enormous freaks in them and they are tested along the same lines as the team universe.. does anyone really believe that dennis wolfe was natural when he won the event at 250 pounds..? look at the owrlds line up and see the guys in the heavies ect.. they are freak.. they know how to get around the test.. as does many at the team universe.. as i said earlier.. i know one of the class winners.. he was never natural..

Just looked at this guys pics and all I gotta say is, "" I HOPE HE AINT DOIN THE USA'S"

How tall is that guy though...seriously proll 5 foot even...whatever though he is a tank...

i know, i know, it really is unfathomable to think that one would do such a thing!

what is the point in doing this show? obviously everyone knows what is going on.... i have all the respect for those that are natural and do follow the "rules" but it seems by looking at the pics they are few and far between....

how do they conduct these tests? is it a blood test? if so wouldnt it be very expensive to test every athlete? i would think that the money would be better spent on bigger trophys or a gift bag for all the athletes....

Those natural shows are a joke. How are they gonna test for test? Its naturally occuring in your body. Plus, even if they did check levels, you could just use a small hrt dose and load up on PROP and cut it out a week before. You could use tons of shit that they don't even have tests out for. All I know is I was natural in 2003 and did a natty show and when I was taking piss in the locker room, there were 3 slin pins in the trashcan next to the toilet, competers had abcess scars, guys had fresh red lumps from injects,etc... The natural shows are a joke. Especially the musclemania. I knew a guy named Scott Rich who did the the musclemania in 1995. He got slaughtered. I belive last place in his class, and that dude was on so much shit it was scary.

Chris has been around forever...and I didnt meant to take anything away with my drug test comments jacked or not he is damn impressive.

I just love to point out how stupid the whole tested thing is, a if they are actually done and b how easy to beat.

 

[Getnbiggger]

drugs or not hes in top form

Drugs or not he is in top form and being a competitor myself I will not dis a guy who obviously worked long and hard to get in that type of condition. Also, he is 41 years old and been competing for many years. Props to him!!
