It’s far more common now, but back in the day the IFBB seemed not to keen on female bodybuilders posing nude.
Four time Olympia competitor Anita Gandol created a stir by posing for Playboy in the mid-1980s, earning a one year suspension from the IFBB.
She was followed by Erika Mes, a two time Olympia pro bodybuilder and 1980 NABBA Universe champion from the Netherlands who also posed nude for the Belgian issue of Playboy in September, 1987, also earning a one year suspension.
