The $10,000 Challenge:
Transparency in FitnesS
Performance-enhancing drugs. Steroids. HGH. GEAR. Whatever you call them, they exist—but do you actually need them? If you’re chasing a career in professional bodybuilding or elite sports where banned substances are the norm, that’s your choice. But for the rest of us? The answer should be a resounding NO.
Let’s Address the Elephant in the Room
Put THEIR Integrity to the Test — here’s how
The Problem Isn’t the Drugs — It’s the Lies
“I have no issue with people making personal choices about their bodies.
My issue is with the deception in an industry I’ve helped shape. Too many so-called "fitness influencers" selling lies while hiding behind fake weights, surgeries, and pharmaceutical shortcuts.
If you’re using enhancements of any kind and not being upfront about it, you’re lying to the people who trust you.”
- Tjader Harris
Once they sign up, anyone can challenge them (or any one of us) with $1,000 + testing fees, by requesting a drug test from a US Drug Test Center or any licensed and accredited facility within 72 hours.
If they test negative, they keep your $1,000 but agree to 1 year of random follow-up testing that you, The Challenger, must pay for.
If they test positive for any banned substances? They must pay, You, the Challenger, $10,000 and post a full-page apology on every social media platform they’re on — admitting what they took and where they got it.
If they blame a tainted supplement, they must prove their claim and publicly name the brand on their website for a year.
If they sign up but refuse to be tested more than twice, they forfeit the $10,000, with the same public apology stipulation.
A Call to Action
Why initiate the challenge? Because a true fitness professional should welcome transparency. Most of us work extremely hard to provide honest guidance and information to those who trust and support us.
No more illusions. No more excuses. It’s time we all step up and bring integrity back to the industry we represent.
