Bostin Loyd won five amateur contests in California between 2010 and 2013, three of them in teenage classes. He became known far beyond that record for documenting his own drug use in public, and he died in 2023.
Win rate here is first-place finishes as a share of all 8 recorded contest results. It is published only where a career holds at least five, because below that a single placing moves the figure by twenty points or more.

Known for
The competitive record is short and local: the Contra Costa Championships teen heavyweight class in 2010 and the heavyweights in 2013, the California Championships teen class in 2011, and two classes at the Muscle Contest in 2012.
What he is remembered for is not on that list. He published detailed accounts of what he was taking and in what quantities, at a time when almost nobody in the sport would discuss it at all, and that openness is the whole of his public reputation.
Early career
Eight contests are recorded, all between 2010 and 2013, all amateur and all in California. There is no professional record.

Death
Loyd died in 2023.
Our database holds no date of death for him and nothing further is stated here. Reporting at the time went into considerable medical detail; none of it is reproduced on this page.
Legacy
He is cited in almost every argument the sport has about drug transparency, usually by people on both sides of it. A results table showing five amateur wins explains none of that.
