Of course, one club would have a head start.
I don't think you would be able to return to the 'Natural' comps once you competed in the enhanced comp...but the fact remains that many of the current 'natural' world records were set by enhanced athletes anyway. Science is always a step ahead of the testers.
I know that in the past 'sports' like bodybuilding and powerlifting had separate natural and enhanced comps at various levels.
When I was a powerlifter, our competitions were under the auspices of the "drug-free powerlifting association" or something along those lines. There were other competitions but they certainly weren't promoted as "enhanced" and were subject to the normal drug testing regime.
Our club trained at Glenferrie Oval after the footballers had left and when the Olympic weightlifters didn't need the gym. My mate had an arrangement with the Coffa brothers about using the gym and they were worried that the powerlifters may bring drugs and put their weightlifters at risk. They told my mate, "Any of your boys take drugs and we send someone to hurt you!" Needless to say, my mate was very careful about who could join the club and regularly warned us what would happen if we were caught with drugs or tested positive.
