As I'm sure most of you are aware, Iris Kyle was "Marked Down" at the 2008 Arnold Classic due to the judges assessing a "knot on her glutes" according to major online bodybuilding publications.  There has been much discussion on Internet forums about the entire situation. Markding down a competitor for persceived spot injections at contest is the IFBB's right, however, it seems very unpopular on all sides as the sport has no clear direction with performance enhancing usage among its athletes -- men or women for that matter. 

There  has been a lot more discussion  on the women's side with overdone or obvious performance enhancement sides affects. If the IFBB truly wants to clean up the sport, the simple solution is to rigorously test all the athletes ramdomly throughout the year. If the IFBB feels the testing of athletes is too expensive, then clearly, they are not a professional organization for athletes. Amateur organizations have tested their top placing athletes in the same sport.

I know many readers want the sport to grow in popularity, however, in today's environment it seems that it's still small and considered a fringe sport.
