✅ Anti-Doping: Integrity Comes First

 

The Imperium Battle International AM & PRO Cup is held under some of the strictest anti-doping protocols in natural bodybuilding.

​

  • All athletes are required to pass a WNBF-approved polygraph test in order to compete, or to provide valid certification confirming they have successfully passed such a test within six weeks prior to the event.

  • Urine testing will be conducted on the top 2 Amateur athletes and the top 3 Pro athletes in each category.

 

These measures ensure a fair, transparent, and drug-free competition, where every athlete competes on a truly level playing field.

📝 Athlete Check-In & Polygraph Testing

 

To compete in the Imperium Battle, all athletes are required to complete the official check-in and pass the polygraph test in the days leading up to the event. ​The entire process will take place at Hotel Agostini, in Viale Pinzon 68, Igea Marina (RN), on October 14th, 15th, and 16th, 2026.

​

All competitors must check-in. Heights will be verified, and each athlete will receive their official competitor number, which will be required to gain entry and compete on show day, and a welcome pack. You'll also have the opportunity to ask any last-minute questions or clarifications directly with the organizing staff.

 

As part of our commitment to fair and transparent sport, all athletes must either pass a WNBF-approved polygraph test during the official registration days, or present valid certification of an official WNBF polygraph test passed within six weeks of the event.
