POLYGRAPH TESTING POLICY

If you LIE about taking banned substances, you WILL FAIL regardless of the reasons.

Every opportunity is given PRIOR to taking the polygraph test to raise ANY concerns a competitor has about any supplement(s) and/or substance(s) that they have used.

The SCAN Analysis form also allows for this in the questioning (EVERY competitor will need to fill this out at registration).

So if a competitor raises these issues AFTER the polygraph test is completed, then any explanation is regarded as an EXCUSE.

It is TOO LATE and they will be BANNED!

We will NOT retest your explanation to see if it is true as you were given this chance plenty of time PRIOR to the test. 

The cost for the polygraph test for EACH competitor is $1,000. If you pass the test the WNBF will pay for it. If you fail the test, you are required to pay for it.

The results of the WNBF polygraph test will stand up in a court of law.

Our polygrapher (Paul Woolley) have had the courts confirm his results numerous times in Australia.
