Today it's almost impossible to be successful in professional bodybuilding without taking doping. Although officially nobody admits this of course, an absolute majority of professional bodybuilders take illegal drugs. Some time ago a new trend was separated from classical bodybuilding to try to rehabilitate somehow the sport discredited with doping scandals. The new sport was called natural bodybuilding and the main difference of it from classical bodybuilding is a very strict control over the use of doping. Many countries already have separate federations of natural bodybuilding along with classical bodybuilding federations and national championships in the new sport are held. This pictures are from the national championship of the Czech Republic in natural bodybuilding in České Budějovice in May 2010:
