Mauro G. Di Pasquale (born 1945)[1] is a world champion powerlifter, bodybuilding author, columnist and low-carbohydrate diet advocate.
From 1997 to 1999 Di Pasquale was involved in writing, research, and product development for Experimental and Applied Sciences (EAS).
As a bodybuilding author, Di Pasquale has written thousands of articles for many large bodybuilding and fitness magazines such as Muscle & Fitness and Iron Man;[3] His articles and books have been translated into Italian language and published in Italy by Sandro Ciccarelli Olympian's News magazine.
Impressed by the way Di Pasquale would monitor steroid use in the bodybuilding industry,[4] World Wrestling Federation (WWF) owner Vince McMahon hired him in June 1992 to monitor the company's new drug testing program;[4] at this time, McMahon was facing criminal charges for allegedly supplying steroids to some of his wrestlers in a manner that violated federal law and was hoping to regain public confidence.
[4] While working with the WWF, Di Pasquale took a hardline approach and ensured that anyone who failed a drug test would leave the company;[4] such an example showed when WWF wrestler The Ultimate Warrior failed a drug test in September 1992.
