Not bad for a guy in his 60s! Richard Hooley is a Bath Natural Bodybuilder and must adhere to strict policies regarding the use of drugs and banned substances. Not only must they pass a urine test but also a polygraph! All World and British finalists must do this.

Richard Hooley
Four of us had made it through the regional qualifiers to the British finals and this included the current Drug Free Athletes Coalition (DFAC) world champion Lloyd Stewart, who had beaten me in the BNBF British finals in 2013.
This time my improved size and condition prevailed over Lloyd's immense physique and I was thrilled to take the title and even more so to receive an invitation to join the BNBF British team and compete in the DFAC 2014 World Championships in Miami in November.
My preparation for the contest had been so strict that I just couldn't resist the temptation of my usual post-contest curry, but with the prospect of competing in a World Championships in just a few weeks' time, the next day I was back onto my contest diet and training routine.
