During the last years International Sport Society can see that the WFF (World Fitness Federation) and the WBBF (World Body Building Federation) are the sole real leaders of our sport on international level. Due to the serious law moments no other „International“ structure can represent bodybuilding and fitness on official sport level. Today everybody can see it.
During the last period of time we still had some illusions about the IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders). But in 2009 IFBB split when the IFBB lower and finance officer ALEX BAUER (Austria) presented in public juridic and financial documents of the IFBB (see www.wff.lt , read forum). For years presenting itself as an International Sport Federation in reality IFBB was a private commercial company working under another name and another constitution.
After the 2009 split IFBB is rulled by RAFAEL SANTONJA (Spain). Having no real leader IFBB goes on suffering hard times. Feeling to be no worse that their „boss“ from Spain and representing the new generation STANISLAV PESAT (Czech) and PAWEL FILLEBORN (Poland) are ready to take the position. But unfortunatelly both are involved in hard doping scandals and for this reason PAWEL FILLEBORN has some problems in court. We received a letter from Singapore from the former Vice President IFBB PAUL CHUA. From it we can see that STANISLAV PESAT tried to take the chair of the President IFBB for Europe from RAFAEL SANTONJA, but the reaction of the „boss“ was negative at once: You can play games as You want to, but IFBB private company is a private property and You have nothing to do with this...

WHO IS THE LEADER?
Seeking for the recognition of Bodybuilding and Fitness as Official Sport World Wide, World Body Building Federation (WBBF) and World Fitness Federation (WFF) are the unique International Federations of this kind. Everyone see clearly that other so called “international federations” do not participate in the International Official Sport Movement and they do not look serious by Law. Due to constant doping scandals and illegal financial deals the IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders) works worse and worse. Being thrown out of the IOC (International Olympic Committee) before, the IFBB now is thrown out of the World Games.
Last visit of the International President EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to India and setting the WFF-WBBF Asia federation gave a great push for the Asia sportsmen to join our activities. Asia sportsmen already took part at the 42-d “Amber Prix International” and now prepare to participate at the 2010 WFF-WBBF World Championship and “Universe” as well as 2011 “Amber Prix OLYMPIA” in Bursno Kupele (Slovakia).
At the same time India prepares to hold the first WFF-WBBF Asia Championship very soon.

As we can see, Rafael Santonja did his job properly: IFBB "patriot" Stanislav Pesat lost all his positions, diplomas and medals. He is not in the new EFBB EC.

Dear Members of ABBF & WBPF
You will be interested to know that we received this copy letter from one of our friend's in Honkgong. Guess what? The IFBB and their Hongkong federation are cheating on doping and allowed a suspended bodybuilder from the Philippines who is a resident in Hongkong to participate in their IFBB sanctioned competition.
The IFBB was informed of the suspension of this particular bodybuilder and they are fully aware of it, and they allowed this athlete to compete in their competition. Is this not a double-standard???
Shame on the IFBB and they never learn their lesson. They were suspended by the International World Games Federation and now they are VIOLATING the WADA rules...We hope that WADA will investigate. WADA must also test all Egyptian bodybuilders, all of them are on drugs and yet the IFBB close one eye and allow them to participate.
Can we have justice done?

WE WORK TO MAKE BODYBUILDING AND FITNESS OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED SPORT
We are opening a new page of the sport life. As it was before the WFF (World Fitness Federation) and the WBBF (World Body Building Federation) remain the sole officially registered by law International No Profit Social Sport Organizations representing bodybuilding and fitness World Wide – the Federation and the Constitution has registration, hymn and flags.
The year of 2010 was very important for the International Sport. We see a number of new unofficial not registered bodybuilding and fitness structures, that name themselves as “international federations, associations”. That gives the official sport even more misunderstandings.
Last year the real international sport giants BEN WEIDER (Canada) and IVAN DUNBAR (UK) passed away. Inside the private commercial company of Ben Weider, named IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders) which was presented in public as “international sport federation”, started secret fight for the property. A group of people headed by Spanish RAFAEL SANTONJA secretly from others and using false documents took power in the private company of IFBB. Many IFBB members were angry of this and inside fighting ended by splitting IFBB in two parts. IFBB lower Austrian ALEX BAUER published juridical documents of IFBB that were sent to the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and to the IOC National Divisions. At the same time another part of the IFBB officials asked the WFF-WBBF International to publish these documents on the International Web
www.wff.lt forum (topic „EFBB/IFBB illegal financial deals“). The sport world finally received documents proving that the IFBB is not a sport federation and it has never been. It is a private commercial company. Due to the IFBB inside war the new International Structure (IFBB-2) was born. It was led by the former President IFBB Asia Sheikh OSAMA AL SHAFAR (United Arab Emirates) and the former Vice President IFBB PAUL CHUA (Singapore).
After the long lasting work the President of the UK sport public club NABBA (National Amateur Body Building Association) IVAN DUNBAR passed away the unknown for the International Sport society Australian took the leadership of the public club of NABBA. And that made the situation inside NABBA no better.
Commercial supplement trading company of French FABIAN DE BECK, calling itself WABBA (World Amateur Body Building Association) goes more and more away from the big sport and plays no role for the development of official sport.
Due to chaotic work and illegal status of many International Bodybuilding and Fitness Organizations the situation in sport is complicated. Every year the IFBB looses confidence. Still there are many oppinions, but fact is fact: after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) refused to recognize the IFBB, after the World Games pushed away the IFBB from it‘s membership, after the IFBB split, all International Federations do not influence the development of the official sport on International level and most of them act illegally from the point of view of Law. This leaves the WFF-WBBF the sole International Federation which works to make bodybuilding and fitness officially recognized sport.
MOVING AHEAD
The WFF-WBBF International lives the important period of life. During the last few years many well known International sport persons representing various International and National sport and business structures are around the federation. They are addressing the WFF-WBBF with various projects and ideas. Sometimes those ideas seem to us unreal and fantastic, but the WFF-WBBF does not neglect them. We give them a try and then see what happens. Some projects do not work, but some do and it gives additional push for progress.
Once the WFF-WBBF worked on the project making the International Headquarters in Germany. For this the highest famous sky-scraper of Frankfurt International Business Center was chosen. A number of meetings and visits to the place were organized then.
Once we started a great International project with a famous Russia Company but inside misunderstandings between Russians made the project to last not long.
The WFF-WBBF works on a tremendous long lasting Project in Slovakia. The Federation started with 2009 WFF-WBBF „Universe“ contest. In 2010 the WFF-WBBF Am and Pro World Championship as well as the „Universe“ were held in Slovak Brusno Kupele resort. In 2011 the WFF-WBBF starts anual „Amber Prix OLYMPIA“ contests in the same Brusno Kupele resort and this is a really great step forward.
WFF-WBBF on various levels collaborates with International and National sport organizations taking them as partners. Sometimes we get into unbelievable situations. Some time ago the WFF-WBBF worked with an Italian structure, that presented itself in public as “international sport association”. The common work ended at once when we were signing the Contract for the common work. The WFF-WBBF presented official registration documents and sealed the Contract. Our Italian partner presented himself only (as a private person) and went to the nearest post office to seal the Contract with the post seal as his “international association” had no registration and no seal. By the way, during the last years this Italian “international organization” three times split and as a result we are facing the same unserious level illegal three more “international federations” which are fooling people around with their nice names and nice Internet webs. So You see what kind of “international sport organizations” are around us.
In 2009 the WFF-WBBF worked hard on a big International project in India. We did a lot to make the project living. But when the WFF-WBBF presented to the India partners a serious Contract with definite obligations for the both sides, the India partners had no courage and no power to sign it. Nevertheless the WFF-WBBF is still developing another International project in India now.
After the split of the IFBB the part of it represented by more than 30 Asia and Arab Countries, that were supported by the OCA (Olympic Council of Asia), addressed the WFF-WBBF for collaboration. For this reason the meeting of the President WFF-WBBF International EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS and the former President IFBB Asia Sheikh OSAMA AL SHAFAR (United Arab Emirates) and the former Vice President IFBB PAUL CHUA (Singapore) was planned in London (UK). Unfortunately the dates were the same of the WFF-WBBF Europe Championship in Klaipeda (Lithuania) and the WFF-WBBF President EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS could not go to London. At the same time the Representatives of Asia could not get the EU visas so quickly to attend the WFF-WBBF Europe Championship in Lithuania and the meeting did not happen.
Not long ago the WFF-WBBF International was addressed by some well known International Sport and Business Persons. They presented a four year financial project for the International development of bodybuilding sport. The project could be prolonged for the next four years. Knowing the real situation in the International sport today it is no surprise that they addressed the WFF-WBBF and not another International Sport Organization. No doubt, if we agree, the project will require lots of work and efforts. But at the same time the WFF-WBBF has it’s own clear position especially on the legal law point of view of the project. The negotiations go on and we will see what comes out in result.

Omani officials barred from Beach Games bodybuilding
Muscat Daily Staff Writer , December 01, 2010
Officials of the Oman Bodybuilding Committee have been barred from being part of the Asian Beach Games by the world and Asian governing bodies for the sport as a penalty for participating in competitions organised by two rival bodies recently.
At one point, even Oman's team was on the verge of being barred from the competition to be held at the City Amphitheatre, Qurm from December 9 to 11. But the host's team was finally cleared 'in the interests of the bodybuilders' and under certain conditions including fresh dope tests.
The bodybuilding competition at the Beach Games is being held by Asian Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation (ABBF) and the World Bodybuilding & Physique Sports Federation (WBPF), both operating under the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA).
The Beach Games is being held in Muscat and Musannah from December 8-16 under the patronage of the OCA.
However, the ABBF and WBPF objected to Oman's participation in an Asian championship (Bahrain, October) and a world championship (Azerbaijan, November) organised by the rival federations - Asian Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness (AFBF) and International Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness (IFBB).
These two rival federations are not recognised by the OCA. Speaking exclusively to Muscat Daily from Singapore, Paul Chua, ABBF and WBPF secretary- general, said, “We were upset with the participation of Oman teams at the championships organised by the rival bodies. The Oman Bodybuilding Committee (OBC) is responsible for the athletes' participation. But the executive council of the ABBF, in the interests of the bodybuilders, unanimously decided that Omani competitors will be allowed to participate at the Asian Beach Games on certain conditions.
“The executive council agreed that the athletes should not suffer for the violations committed by the Oman Bodybuilding Committee. One of our primary conditions for an athlete to participate is that he must provide a dope test clearance certificate from a recognised International Olympic Committee laboratory. We want to ensure a dope free event, which is one of the main goals of OCA. Besides that, athletes will have to follow the competition rules of the ABBF and the WBPF.”
However, Chua confirmed there would be no place for members of the Oman Bodybuilding Committee at the Games. “None of the members, even if they are qualified judges, will be allowed to officiate at the Asian Beach Games,” he said. “There is no role, be it technical or another, for any member of the Omani committee. We have already announced a high-powered delegation for the Muscat Games. The participation of Oman teams in the rival Asian and world championships has not gone down well with us and we want to send a clear warning.
“Having said that, we have high regard for the Oman Olympic Committee (OOC), which is making all efforts to make the Games a success. We would like to ensure that the Muscat Asian Beach Games is a grand success. I have been in Muscat twice and am happy with the arrangements made for the competition.”
Reacting to the development, an official from the Oman Bodybuilding Committee told Muscat Daily, “We are happy that our athletes are participating at the Games as we have hopes for medals from them. They have trained hard. I would not like to get into any debate on our past participation and I am happy that we have managed to resolve the row for the moment.”

Subject: FW: IS THE IFBB A SPORTS ORGANIZATION OR A BUSINESS CORPORATION??
Dear All,
I read the IFBB Constitution. Interestingly, I came across Article 15.2 which stipulates:
15.2 PROCEDURES:
2. Documented proof of the organization's acceptance by their Ministry of Sport, or National Olympic Committee, that they are the sole recognized national sport governing body for the sport of bodybuilding and fitness within their country. HOW MANY COUNTRIES SO CALLED MEMBERS OF THE "IFBB CORPORATION" ARE AFFILIATED TO THEIR OLYMPIC COMMITTEES AND TO THEIR SPORTS MINISTRIES???
3. A copy of their constitution and rules, said constitution and rules which must be in conformity with the Constitution and Rules of the IFBB HOW MANY COUNTRIES SUBMITTED THEIR CONSTITUTIONS TO THE IFBB corporation??? Not many have rules or constitution.
We should challenge the IFBB to produce the list of all the countries who are recognized by their Ministry of Sport or by their National Olympic Committee. We doubt that there are more than 40 or 50 countries recognized by their government or National Olympic Committees. Take for example, the English Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation & Australia federation ( they are operating under business). Only a handful number of countries are recognized: Asia, South Pacific and some Pan American/European countries.
The IFBB is actually not 179 countries strong....let's track back the past five years, how many nations participated in the World Men's Bodybuilding Championships, not over 65 and some of them do not even have athletes. Most of the delegates are gym owners and bodybuilders. Where are the 100 over nations?????
The "IFBB" hoodwink the governments. GAISF, IWGF and the sports authorities of the world.
Shame on them.
We thank the BRAVE OFFICIALS AXEL BAUER, OSAMA ALSHAFAR, PAUL CHUA for their bravery to stand up and say" NO THIS IS WRONG AND YOU SHOULD FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTIONAL AND DEMOCRATIC WAY" in running a federation. They have exposed the real crooks and cheats. There is a saying when the well runs dry. You can really see between a snake and a fish. The world knows who the snake is now.
Victor
THE ONLY ONE OFFICIAL AND REGISTERED AND RECOGNIZED
As every International Federation which respects itself the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) is registered by Law, it has the Flag, the Logo, the Hymn (music and song) etc. The Hymn was played in public at the 2010 WFF-WBBF Pro World Championship in ...Brusno Kupele (Slovakia).
Do You know anter one in bodybuilding sport like the WFF-WBBF ???
IN MEMORIA OUR RESPECTED FRIENDS IN SPORT
SERGE NUBRET
SERGE NUBRET (October 6, 1938 – April 19, 2011) was a French professional bodybuilder, bodybuilding federation leader, movie actor and author. First Vice President IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders), Founder and President WABBA (World Body Building Association) to „fight against IFBB“.
SERGE NUBRET was a very good sport organizer, but never was connected with official sport movement and bodybuilding recognition as WABBA had no official registration by law as International Sport Organisation.

(The unseriousness of NABBA was spoken over long ago, it was published in many our documents officially, so now we will touch just some questions again)
NABBA – WHAT IS IT?
Let us not talk of old times, when in 1950 NABBA asked the Magazine „Healts&Strength“ Owners to give it the right to use belonging them „Universe“ name.
All we speak of – the OFFICIAL MATTERS. It does not concern sportsmen and competitions. All sportsmen are respected and have nothing to do with the organizations they participate.
For decades NABBA was acting unfair fooling athletes on juridical matters and still does. When we got in touch with NABBA more that 20 years ago, it seemed for us to be like Official International Sport Organization, that had and still have 2 International Events per year (World and Universe). After the long working NABBA Leader OSKAR HEIDENSTAM (UK) passed, the real chaos and intrigues came to the organization inside.
INTERNATIONAL NABBA CONGRESSES
In general for years the International Congresses of NABBA had only one aim – to collect the annual fee from the participating countries. Very seldom some important questions were discussed ther. As nobody dared to speak, EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS used to rise various other questions, juridical and financial questions first. The reason was one – most East Europe Countries worked and were financed by States (Sport Ministries), which required and requested the stamped juridical documents, real law registration and serious book-keeping. NABBA did not have all this.
2 NABBAS
NABBA always was a UK organization only.
Many times during the International Congresses EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke on unserious situation, when NABBA UK was the organizer of the World Championship. How it could be? Was there anything International or not? It was unserious. Then IVAN DUNBAR proclaimed new „NABBA International“(we call it NABBA-2), but only proclaimed doing no juridical steps, no registration by law, no registered Constitution. When EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS underlined this, then JOE LOPEZ copied WABBA Constitution and presented it as NABBA‘S.
Sport Ministry Lithuania asked many times of NABBA International registration. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS pressed IVAN DUNBAR to present the necessary juridical documents of NABBA and then finally IVAN DUNBAR told him privatelly that NABBA has no International Registration and there is nothing to present. The only one real fact was that NABBA was a UK public Club. But UK public Club is not an INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION, even not a NATIONAL one. Again it was ridiculous and unserious.
ANNUAL FEES
It was strange: NABBA collects fees and never give receipts back. After EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke of this, NABBA started to give „love letters“ instead of book-keeping bills, that were not serious and had nothing to do with real book-keeping.
To say more, ending the previous decade, NABBA had 3 presidents at one time: IVAN DUNBAR, KLAUS HPFFMANN, JOE LOPEZ, who in intrigues fighted in between for many matters, including collecting annual fees. Often it was ridiculous, when before of International Congress each of them did their best to collect fees from more countries this way leaving their opponents with less money.
NABBA SPLIT
The fight came to the top in 1999 in Greece and Austria when during the Internatiional Congresses EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke to the presidents of the dissorder in NABBA. Then in 2000 in Australia JOE LOPEZ founded his private Company „NABBA International“ (we call it NABBA-3, today developed to NAC) and JOE LOPEZ started organizing his own „Worlds and Universes“ until he got to prison. Still NABBA-3 still tries to do something, but it is of no Official International importance at the moment. Until now all International activities of all NABBA‘S are not Official and have no Official Recognition nowhere. If a dialogue starts – then what is NABBA? A public Club? Who speaks with a „public club“ on Official International Level?
CONCLUSION
Having registered only Name and Logo and nothing more from the juridical side, NABBA is just an International gathering of friends from diferent countries. By any Law it can not be treated as an International Sport Organization (no registration, no registered Constitution, no legitemate Stamp etc..). It is fine that it organizes contests for so long years, but it‘s work is not official and this is the reason that NABBA had never received any International support and recognition. Opposite to NABBA – the WFF-WBBF cover all juridical requiremets of the International Sport Organization and this is the reason that many unserious „organizations“ do not like this. They like to live and to work like in a „gipsy tribe“, not officially and that they do. And they have their own reasons to be unofficial.

You speak much about certain sportsmen, judging. Dear friends, I am just back from a long trip to India, before this I was for a week in Russia. I have not studied the FINAL RESULTS of Austria and Slovakia competitions yet as for me there is no difference who and from what country is the winner. But not this is important. As always there are lots of interpretations of judging after EACH CONTEST. It is OFFICIAL SPORT FEDERATIONS, INTERNATIONAL ONES, that matters. This is a BASIC thing if we count our sport seriously.
Every sportsman is free where to participate. It is a personal choice. Lots of the official and unofficial information about all possible International bodybuilding units is on the International Site www.wff.lt, see forum. We speak straight, no nicknames. If we are not right, give us official provings about it, not angry „internet fairy-tails“. We are ready to stand what we say even in the Court if needed as we are right and we do not doubt about what we say of all so called „International Federations“.

JUDGING
Participating at a contest of a federation or no federation every participant (athlete) agrees that he (she) trust the judges and their decisions.
In 1994 at NABBA “Universe” in UK was a “classic example”, I could say. In Class 3 was a participant who was no doubt leading the category (finally he placed 3-d). Scrutinizing the judging sheets I saw, that the President NABBA Germany (one of the leading judges) KLAUS P.J.HOFFMANN placed this sportsman on the 8-th place and that was the reason of the athlete to loose the 1-st place. When speaking with KLAUS P.J.HOFFMANN I received no definite answer, as there could be no answer… It was not a single “happening” at NABBA “Universes” in UK. So, You agree with the judges, participate. If You do not trust the judges, do not participate. After every contest are similar discussions and it will never stops. WFF-WBBF deletes maximum and minimum scores of judging sheets and presents the final placing. Nothing to change after.
PRO-IFBB BODYBUILDING SOBER REALITY. BODYBUILDING IS JUST A BUSINESS. THE SPORT IS DEAD. IFBB TOLD TO SHUT UP AND WATCH YOUR PLACE
By all Bodybuilders respected World Bodybuilding Legend ROBBY ROBINSON writes:
„THE GAME OF BODYBUILDING HAS JOINED THE THUG LIFE INCORP. IN MIAMI I AM ASHAMED BY THE BEHAVIOR OF IFBB OFFICIALS AND THE DISHONESTY OF THE PROMOTER CONCERNING MY FEE.
I WAS GIVEN A WORTHLESS CHECK THE PROMOTER DISREGARDS.
THIS IS AFTER THEY DUMP TONY PEARSON WHO HAD BEEN SIGNED TO DO THE EVENT, AND SIGNED ME TO A CONTRACT BEHIND HIS BACK.
THAT GOES TO SHOW ALL YOU BODYBUILDERS THAT YOU ARE JUST A NUMBER.
LEGEND IS THE TITLE THEY GIVE YOU FOR BEING AROUND FOR A WHILE.
THEN THEY SELECT YOU INTO THEIR BODYBUILDER HALL OF FAME.
FOR WHAT?
HONOR YOU FOR TAKING STEROIDS UNTIL YOU CAN NO LONGER FUNCTION.
DO THE IFBB HAVE A HEALTH CARE PLAN FOR ALL OF THOSE SELECTED TO THE HALL OF FAME.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO 8 TIME MR O R. COLEMAN,?
WHO WILL HELP HIM THROUGH HIS RECOVERY?

Dear Friends in sport,
Being in sport over 40 years and today uniting 104 Countries from all Continents, the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) opened and keeps opening eyes of bodybuilders about the official status of all International Federations. Nothing to be surprised about what have happened with real World‘s Bodybuilding Legend ROBBY ROBINSON.
See International Internet Site www.wff.lt, read forum topics „IFBB/EFBB ILLEGAL FINANCIAL DEALS“ and „INT. BODYBUILDING AND FITNESS ORGANIZATIONS“.
2012. MORE AND MORE NEW FEDERATIONS APPEAR
Every year the International Sport society meets a number of new National and International Federations of various names and various kinds. Being very little public information available people and sportsmen have difficulties to understand what is what. Every of them use declare they are better than the other ones. But that are only declarations.
For decades due to the false ways of development by the former International Sport Leaders today nuobody looks towards bodybuilding seriously. The former beautiful sport is turned in to business only. Manipulating with sportsmen, doping affairs, health and even lives of bodybuilders is a „normal everyday‘s“ case. Nothing is official and it seems like never stopping children‘s game. Bodybuilding lives in a closed inner circle, closed narrow society, which most people do not like. This is the image of bodybuilding today. And this image is very negative.
The main question for every federation today is the only one: what really positive You will do for the OFFICIAL SPORT, what You can do to make contemporary problematic bodybuilding to be RECOGNIZED and RESPECTED sport not only for bodybuilders themselves, but for all World‘s public society? We say „really positive“ because federations say one and do the opposite. For example, private commercial company IFBB declared many interesting things. But after inner fighting the IFBB was spulit and divided. Then the Vice President IFBB PAUL CHUA (Singapore) and IFBB Lower ALEX BAUER (Austria) published the IFBB juridical documents. The long lasting lies was finished. High IFBB Officials were manipulating and hiding doping results, for definite amount of money they let the guilty for doping usage remain unpunished. That was the reason of a number of court trials in Poland. The IFBB was hiding the cases when young sportsmen died. For these reasons IOC refused to recognize the IFBB. For this reason the IFBB was thrown out of the World Games (see documents on the International Site www.wff.lt, read forum topics „IFBB/EFBB illegal financial deals“ and „Various International Federations“).
Different to the other ones being officially registered as a no profit International Social Sport Federation and having historical bodybuilding work behind for nearly 50 years the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International have already tired many ways (read in various languages published 33-34 Issues of the International Magazine „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ and see on the International Site www.wff.lt, read forum topics „Unknown History of Bodybuilding. How it was in real“).
Being the World‘s Bodybuilding Leader today the WFF-WBBF unites 104 Countries from all Continents now. WFF-WBBF communicates with the Governmental Institutions of many countries. WFF-WBBF is in dialogue with most Official International Sport Structures, like IOC, WADA, GAISF etc..
WFF-WBBF work is supported by a number of International Religiuos Leaders, including the Vatican. Most impressive was the Vatican State evaluation of the positive work of the WFF-WBBF in developing total fitness and bodybuilding throughout the World. For this work done the Vatican Congregat Perfect J. Em. JOZEF KARDINAL TOMKO presented the Vatican Pontific Medals (Medaglia Ufficiale di Pontificato di Sua Santita Benedetto XVI) to the President WFF-WBBF EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS and the WFF-WBBF International Official Slovak STEFAN HRCKA (Headquarters State Vatican, Cita del Vaticano, March 29, 2011).
It seems that the WFF-WBBF International is the sole one International Bodybuilding Structure which really cares for the bodybuilding sport to make it recognized and official, to make it real sport as many others Olympic Sports are. It is not easy, but the WFF-WBBF declares this to be it‘s priority and it goes this way.
Having a growing number of new federations does not change the position of bodybuilding and it has zero value from the point of view of the OFFICIAL SPORT RECOGNITION.
2012. A NICE PREPOSAL FOR PRO BODYBUILDERS
The WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International Headquarters received a proposal from a IFBB Pro Agent. He suggest the WFF-WBBF International to buy Pro Bodybuilders as Guest Poser for the WFF-WBBF Events.
This is our reply:
„Dear friend,
All is ok with us. Lots of Amateur and Pro contests ahead.
Your preposal is interesting, but:
1. WFF-WBBF International have about 80 Professional Athletes World Wide and we do care of them
2. Top Pro Athletes of the WFF-WBBF are on the same level as Yours or even better
3. We tried before with Best NABBA Israel and Slovakia IFBB Pros (Slovak is placing high at the IFBB Olympia) and it was a shame when at the Guest Posing these Guests were worse than top Amateur Bodybuilders of the WFF-WBBF
4. We would appreciate if Your Pros will compete at the WFF-WBBF Pro Events as all Pros do and prove at the real battle that they are really good.
Anyway let us be in touch.
Maybe one day You will organize a WFF-WBBF Pro World or "Amber Prix OLYMPIA"?
My best wishes for You as I know very well how hard this work goes.
Yours,
International President Edmundas Daubaras“

The negotiations with the IFBB Pro Bodybuilding Agent go on. We agreed that two famous IFBB Heavyweight Pros will compete at the 2012 WFF-WBBF Pro World Championship “Amber Prix OLYMPIA” (30 000 US dollars, Brusno Kupele resort, Slovakia) and fight really with the best of the World Pro Bodybuilders.
2012. MORE AND MORE NEW FEDERATIONS APPEAR. NOTHING CHANGES
Every year the International Sport Society meets a number of new National and International Federations of various names and various kinds. Being very little public information available people and sportsmen have difficulties to understand what is what. Every of these federations use to declare they are better than the other ones. But that are only declarations. For example NABBA (National Amateur Body Building Association, juridically it is a UK Public Club) was split three times during the last twenty years and the new federations appeared then. After these organizations also fighted inside and again were split. The process never ends and it gives nothing positive especially on for the Official Sport, for the recognition of bodybuilding...
For decades due to the false ways of development by the former International Sport Leaders today nobody looks towards bodybuilding seriously. Former beautiful kind of sport is turned in to business only. Manipulating with sportsmen, doping affairs, health and even lives of bodybuilders is a „normal everyday‘s“ case. Nothing is official and it seems like never stopping children‘s game. Bodybuilding lives in a closed inner circle, closed narrow society, which most people do not like or even hate. This is the image of bodybuilding today. And this image is very negative.
The main question for every federation today is the only one: what really positive this federation is doing for the OFFICIAL SPORT, what it can do to make contemporary problematic bodybuilding to be RECOGNIZED and RESPECTED sport not only for bodybuilders themselves, but for all World‘s public society? We say „really positive“ because most federations say one and do the opposite. For example, a private commercial company IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders) declared many interesting positive things. But some years ago after inner fighting the IFBB was split and divided. Then the Vice President IFBB PAUL CHUA (Singapore) and IFBB Lower ALEX BAUER (Austria) published the IFBB juridical documents. The long lasting IFBB lies was finished. The documents proved that he IFBB is not a federation, it is a provate commercial company. High International IFBB Officials were manipulating with doping. They were hiding doping results, for definite amount of money they let the guilty for doping usage sportsmen and officials remain unpunished. They were selling the programmes of how to use doping. That was the reason of a number of court trials in Poland for the High International IFBB Official and National President IFBB Poland PAVEL FILEBORN. The IFBB was hiding the cases when young sportsmen died. For these reasons IOC (International Olympic Committee) refused to recognize the IFBB. For this reason the IFBB was thrown out of the World Games and Asia Games (see documents on the International Site www.wff.lt, read forum topics „IFBB/EFBB illegal financial deals“ and „Various International Federations“). And when this we say about the IFBB the juridical situation in another International Federations is even more worse. We could speak with humor about them, but all they do is not serious. This is the reason no Official International Organizations communicate with them.
WFF-WBBF TAKES THE LEAD
Different to other International Federations being officially registered as a no profit International Social Sport Federation and having historical bodybuilding work background of nearly 50 years, the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International have already tried many ways to go (read in various languages published 33-34 Issues of the International Magazine „Sporto f Fitness and Bodybuilding“ and see on the International Site www.wff.lt, read forum topics „Unknown History of Bodybuilding. How it was in real“).
Being the World‘s Bodybuilding Leader today the WFF-WBBF unites 104 Countries from all Continents. WFF-WBBF International communicates with the Governmental and Social Institutions of many countries. WFF-WBBF is in dialogue with most Official International Sport Structures, like IOC, WADA, GAISF etc..

It is not easy, even not real, but the WFF-WBBF declares this to be it‘s priority and it permanently goes this way.
That is why we underline that speedy growing number of new federations does not change the position of bodybuilding at all and it has zero value from the point of view of the OFFICIAL SPORT RECOGNITION.

UNKNOWN WORLD‘S BODYBUILDING HISTORY. HOW IT WAS IN REAL. JUDGE ABOUT US NOT BY WORDS SPOKEN BUT BY REAL WORK DONE
EVERYONE PRESENTS HIS OWN HISTORY, BUT NOBODY CAN NEGLECT AND ARGUE WITH THE DOCUMENTS AND FACTS
World‘s Bodybuilding History of the former huge territory of Socialist Countries is not well known to the Western World. To say the truth – it is compleatelly unknown. We want to underline that the World‘s Bodybuilding History was and still is connected directly with one of the World‘s Oldest Traditional still running International Bodybuilding „Amber Prix International“ Contest (1968-2012).
Bodybuilding sport in Socialist Countries survived hard times during the „communist times“. Due to political reasons for more than two decades bodybuilding was prohibited and prosecuted in all Socialist Countries especially in the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). We have presented this history in diferent languages in details at the International Page www.wff.lt and at the International Magazine „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ (issues No. 28 and 34) as wel as in various articles of the International Press and Internet Sites.
For long lasting years of bodybuilding prosecution the contemporary International President WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was the sole person who dared on his personal risk and responsibility to stand for bodybuilding sport on official level and to confront the highest Political Governmental Institutions of the Communist Times even the Central Committee of the USSR Communist Party in Moscow (Russia). We have spoken about this with the Highest Vatican State Officials in 2011 at the Vatican State Headquarters, when the Official Meeting of the International WFF-WBBF Officials was held there. The Highest Vatican State Officials positivelly evaluated the work done by the International President EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS and the WFF-WBBF International.
On the name of the Pontific the Vatican Congregat Prefect J.Em. JOZEF KARDINAL TOMKO awarded the International President WFF-WBBF EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS and High WFF-WBBF International Official STEFAN HRCKA with the Vatican Pontific Medals (Medaglia Ufficiale di Pontificato di Sua Santita Benedetto XVI). See detailed reports on the International Page www.wff.lt and International Magazine „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ (issues 33, 34).
Thanks the God the risky activities and straight dialoque of EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS with the Moscow Communist Political Institutions, Sport Ministry and Communist Press ended well. The prohibition of bodybuilding did not stop but they gave permittion for EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to go on organizing the anual Bodybuilding „Amber Prix International“ Contest. This was the real win for all bodybuilders, the real political win against Communist regime of those severe tense times. For many years the „Amber Prix International“ was the sole regular International Bodybuilding Contest of all Socialist Countries as nobody else dared to organize International bodybuilding competitions on regular base but EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Looking from this angle it gives an extreme importance to the „Amber Prix International“ and it‘s organizers. The period of time from 1968 until now is not so short if to compare with other sports. And this period was extremelly important for the World‘s Bodybuilding as the times of the real risky fight for the sport was going on. Today various people speak various stories of themselves, but what is important – they have never been personally involved in the activities of those times and what they speak now is based on rumours only, not facts. Some of them are not interested to speak of times of bodybuilding prosecution as they were not present there or often some of them then were frightened and hiding themselves away from bodybuilding activities (see International Page www.wff.lt and read International Magazine „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ (issues 28, 33, 34).
When the USSR Communist Party leader and the first USSR President MICHAIL GORBACIOV came to power and opened the doors for „perestroika“, the better times for bodybuioding sport appeared. A number of International Contests were organized in other Socialist Countries too ( for example „Comsomol Bodybuilding Contest“ in Kaunas City organized by RAMUTIS KAIRAITIS). Then many of those bodybuilders who were hiding away from prosecution during the „hard risky times“ appeared in public again. Among them was after 13 years of „hiding break“ the contemporary IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders“) Russia President VLADIMIR DUBININ. It happened under personal invitation of EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS for him come to the „Amber Prix International“ to Klaipeda, Lithuania. And so he did, as the „dark times“ were over. Many such persons today present the Bodybuiding History as there were no „black days“ of bodybuilding prosecution because they also were frightened and were not present at the activities then. Now many of them are „respected heroes“ now, but where they were for the long lasting times of the fight with Communist Polititions for the survival of bodybuilding sport? It was a classic picture we are used to see – if all goes well, they say „we did it all together“, but when all goes bad, then they have the person guilty to sacrify and it is as always EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS who dared to confront the Communist regime in Moscow. Having in mind the background like this we look at the sole regular „Amber Prix International“ bodybuilding contest with diferent eyes an we can not underestimate it too much from political and historical point of view in the World‘s Bodybuilding History.
REALLY SOLE OFFICIAL USSR BODYBUILDING FEDERATION
For the twenty years of the prohibition ond prosecution of bodybuilding in the Socialist Countries until in 1988 the USSR Bodybuilding Federation was set and registered the Klaipeda Body Building Federation was the only one to be official. No other diferent level USSR bodybuilding units with various names and titles were official and legal. Thau were just free units of free sport lovers having no juridical status in real. That is why the Klaipeda Body Building Federation was the only one of the kind to be really legal to deal fith Governmental Institutions. As a result achieved through the EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS confrontation with the Communist Political Institutions Klaipeda Body Building Federation was officially registered and it had a unique permittion to have it‘s own finances and to organize anual „Amber Prix International“. Klaipeda Body Building Federation could not have another name and another higher status as already this was already against normal Communist mentality and position and the Communist regime would never permitted anything more. We were realistic and we were happy to have this.
The Official Legal Status of the Klaipeda Body Building Federation was respected not only by Communist Political Governmental Institutions, but by all known International Bodybuilding Leaders of the Western World too. Being the Lower and as a Phylology specialist knowing a number of languages EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was in friendly relations and easy communicated with the Owner and President of the Private IFBB Company BEN WEIDER, Owner and President of WABBA (World Amateur Body Building Association) SERGE NUBRET, President of the UK Public Club NABBA (National Amateur Body Building Association) OSCAR HEIDENSTAM (see International Page www.wff.lt and read International Magazine „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ (issues 28, 33, 34).
No surprise that many Bodybuilding Sport Organizers envied Klaipeda Body Building Federation. Some of them even tried to make problems for it. But the time put everybody and everything in it’s right places and today we have a clear picture of who is who and what is what.
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF SOCIALIST COUNTRIES
Let us underline once again that for the two dark and hard decades the „Amber Prix International“ was the sole anual International Bodybuilding Contest in the Socialist Countries. Having Official Legal Status for such a long period the „Amber Prix International“ was the unofficial USSR Bodybuilding Championship in fact. This was recognized even by the USSR Sport Ministerium (Goskomsport) which started to give honorable „USSR Sport Master“ names for the „Amber Prix International“ Category Winners. Nobody else dared to fight the Communist regime to organize International Bodybuilding Contests and we can say that the sole recognized and official „Amber Prix International“ was the unofficial World Championship of the Socialist Countries. „Amber Prix International“ collected best Socialist World Bodybuilders in Klaipeda every year. Even today many International Bodybuilding Federations can not reach the level of the „Amber Prix International“ contests of those times not by the level of the sportsmen participating and not by the number of participating athletes. For example in 1989 „Amber Prix International“ in four height categories participated nearly 200 bodybuilders representing 51 team. Today sole World Championship Categories of any International Federation have 50 participants.
Chronologically the folowing activities went this way: paying no attention to the new coming threats from the Russian Moscow Communist regime again the sole one who dared to stand for the Bodybuilding Sport was EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. In 1991 EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was the first to register the National Body Building Association in the Independent Lithuania. Then aganist orders from Moscow EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS collected the best International Level Bodybuilders and went to Europe Championship that was held in Epinal (France). Only later when democratic changes came to Russia other Socialist Countries dared to register National Bodybuilding Federations. But again – they were afrayed and they were hiding themselves when EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was acting when there were the hard times for bodybuiders.
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION
Diferent from all other International Bodybuilding Leaders through over 40 years lasting „Amber Prix International“ History EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS never went away from being personally resposible in his works and sayings and always fulfilled what he sayed. Nothing changed today. Nobody helped EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS in his activities, especially International ones. Everything, every step forward like pioneers we had to do ourselves. Everything EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS did on his own risk and on his own mind. Bodybuilders needed a Gym – this is a Gym for You; Bodybuilders needed a federation – this is a federation for You; Bodybuilders needed a contest – this is the historical „Amber Prix International“ for You; Bodybuilders needed methodical training knowlidge – EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS collected and translated International Sport literature, systemized it and issued in different languages millions of issues of methodical Sport Magazines that grew a number of new generations of Bodybuilders of the World; Bodybuilders needed an International federation – this is the WFF-WBBF International for You too.
It is time today to stop decades lasting lies in International Bodybuilding Sport and to start making permanent changes. The awful situation of the contemporary sport must be changed basically and the ordinary people should start respecting Bodybuilding Sport as it have been long ago. The WFF-WBBF International works hard on this question now.
Try to present in wide public and to evaluate real works done by everybody of us in person. Everybody can speak. But what You have done? Try to do as we did, try to do it for more than 40 yaears non stop including the very hard times for bodybuilding. Be brave enough to pass the real dangerous obstacles. Then we can say we are equal to eveluate the situation and we can sit together and plan the Great Future of the sport we all love so much.
After studying the documents presented in 2012 the Russia Journalists started naming EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS as the „Father of Russia Bodybuilding“ in their articles. Somebody do not like it? Again in this background what is the value of sayings of come people about the History of Bodybuilding when they were not themselves present in this history?
The WFF-WBBF International do has a great long over 40 years lasting History. The WFF-WBBF International has World Wide well known Great Names of the International Level Bodybuilders. Due to the „Iron Wall“ the Socialist World was closed from the Democratic Society and unfortunatelly only few knew about our sport activities and our lives. But it does not mean that nothing happened on the other side of the „Iron Wall“. Many great things happened in Socialist Countries and many of them were better than those ones presented to public in the West.
The new ideas and the Hostory of the World Bodybuilding Sport the WFF-WBBF International presents today are scrutinized and studied by sport specialists of many countries. National Olympic Committees of a number of Countries studied the background of the WFF-WBBF International and agreed with our position (Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Poland, Czech, Afghanistan). Ministries of sport of a number of Countries expressed the same position too (Canada, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Czech, Estonia, Lithuania, Uganda). Highest Parliament and Government Officials of different Countries open doors for the WFF-WBBF Officials to discuss the situation in sport and public (India, Canada, Russia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Czech, Austria, Germany, Greece) . Many our articles are already published in diferent countries through the World. Well known International Bibliothecs ask for the WFF-WBBF International magazines (such as State Leipzig Bibliothec, Germany).

2012. IFBB LEADERS HAS DRIVED BODYBUILDING INTO CATASTROPHY
It seems today the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) are the only ones in the World who really care for the reputation of Bodybuilding Sport. For many years trying to represent Bodybuilding on official level IFBB (International Body Building federation) leaders has chosen wrong ways and priorities that drived our sport into a terrible situation today. Sport became very commercial where everything is sold. Nothing is official. Public oppinion about bodybuilding is very negatyve. That are only few examples:
UK.
Over All „Universe“ Champion DAYO AUDI speaks, then bodybuilders are treated very bad in UK. Being a bodybuilder means like being a criminal. He tries to wear dress to hide his huge muscles in oorder to have peace.
GERMANY. Bodybuilders use to work for police to provocate selling steroids and give their own friends to police. Everybody is afrayed of everybody.
SWEDEN.
Sweedish World Bodybuilding Legend ANDREAS CAHLING is in shock:
1.„Beefy car driver taken to control JÖNKÖPING. A car driver who was stopped during a traffic control during the weekend appeared so beefy that the police took him to the police headquarters for suspicion of doping crime. The police officers judged that he had an excessively large upper body. The man showed signs of having used anabolic steroids, says the police press spokesman, Göran Gunnarsson to jnytt.se. After having left a urin test the man was let free while waiting for the test result“.
2."20 year old appeared too beefy - was taken by the police. During Saturday a car driver was stopped at Öster in Jönköping. And the whole thing led to a detainment. The man showed signs of having used anabolics., says Göran Gunnarsson, press spokesman at Jönköping police, to Jnytt.se.
He told that the man did have “an unproportionately large body” regarding the shoulder area and that he therefore was detained and taken to police headquarters for a body search. The man who is about 20 years old had to give a urin test and was then released awaiting test results."

IN USA NO ONE WANTS TO DEVELOP BODYBUILDING ON OFFICIAL LEVEL
For bodybuilding specialists it is eveident, that USA quickly looses it‘s International leaders positions in bodybuilding. Due to the decades lasting mistaken politics of the former USA bodybuilding leaders, today we face the negatyve results all World through. On the Official Level bodybuilding is not accepted as sport in general. Majority of important bodybuilding contests in the USA are just commercial shows for public, more like a theater, but not real sport. Everything is slod, everything money can buy. Does anybody remember a strong USA National Team at a World Championship of any federation?
Bodybuilding in the US is based on many private Companies, which are the owners of the so called „federations“, all competitions belong to them as a private property. This is a business and the owners often are selling everytinig, including contest places. During the last years it is clear as daylight. Nobody wants to develop sport, nobody cares for the sportsmen as they have no profit of this. Even more – the private structures always fight for profit in between. This is the reason, why the USA bodybuilding lives in the chaotic dissorder and it never ends. It negetivelly influences all International Sport in general. There is no one to think of sane lives, total fitness and of the official sport of bodybuilding. But even if they want to, they can not as private Companies are not sport federations by Law.
For our 50 years lasting work and efforts finally today we have nothing connected with official sport, but selling-buying-playing theater only.
When the owner of the IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders) Commercial Company our respected BEN WEIDER (Canada) tried to get the IOC recognition, he got the IOC refusal to support and to recognize the IFBB. Then the WEIDER brothers sold all their magazines, the „Olympia“ contest and after BEN WEIDER died the IFBB Company was sold as well. During the last fiveteen years the International bodybuilding situation goes worse and worse.
After IFBB split three years ago, the new owner of the IFBB Commercial Company (IFBB does not egzist as official International Sport Federation by Law) RAFAEL SANTONJA (Spain) took some permanent America contest names to Europe, but the majority of them they still are commercial Shows, not official recognized sport competitions.
IFBB as sport federation never egzisted by Law in the US. Bodybuilding sport was governed by the NPC (National Physique Committee), but again, by the Law requirements it is not true (you can see the historic and juridic documents in the International Site www.wff.lt forum topics „World‘s Bodybuilding History. How it was in real“, „IFBB/EFBB illegal financial deals“).
During the last period of time the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International Federation received letters from a number of High NPC (National Physique Committee) Officials, Judges and well known-sportsmen. They want to join the International activities of the WFF-WBBF. All of them were invited to come to the nearst International WFF-WBBF Events and start the „live“ dialogue direct.
Let us be frank. The recent private family affair of our sport Heroe, the former Governor State California ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER makes the negatyve position of the World‘s Bodybuilding even worse. This scandal in the USA was one of the reasons that ARNOLD took his private contest „Arnold Classic“ from the USA to Europe too. The first steps of this Private Contest in Europe are not strong, but let us hope for the best.
Plain and clear presentation of the International Bodybuilding problems is the IFBB itself: juridical lies, cheating other International Organizations, lies to the sportsmen (see documents on the International Site www.wff.lt, read forum topic „IFBB/EFBB illegal financial deals“). We mentioned above that IOC refused to support and to recognize the IFBB. Today we confront more negative news: the International Organmizations „World Games“ and the „Asia Games“ excluded IFBB from their membership and refused to work with the IFBB too.
It seems that the sole WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) uniting today 106 Country-members and representing all Continents do care for saving the image of bodybuilding and making it the official recognized Sport. The WFF-WBBF remains the sole no profit International bodybuilding organization, that is registered according Law requirements and working based on Olympic system. Along with the over 60 International Events World Wide the WFF-WBBF International organizes anual World and Continent Championships, it makes still running one of the World‘s oldest bodybuilding contest „Amber Prix International“ (1968-2011).
Many many new changes are on the way of our sport and we are proud that with the God‘s blessing after our constant work through the last 50 years we have positive results like this finally.
WORLD‘S BODYBUILDING MOVEMENT. ROLE OF RUSSIA
For centuries Russia (now Russian Federation) played a very important role in the World‘s political, economic and social life. But we will speak about the bodybuilding sport only. No doubt, Russia has many great bodybuilders today. Very little Countries can be compared to Russia in this question. Among thousands of International sportsmen Russia bodybuilders are leading in the World‘s Bodybuilding Ranking List. This irritates many bodybuilders from other Countries, who do not dare to go fighting with Russians on the high level contest stage. This is the situation, but the real life is different.
Due to the chaotic work of a number of the Russia National Federations Russian Bodybuilding can not take the real high place in the International Bodybuilding movement. The reasons are evident: Russia is lacking high level International professional organizers, that are positively accepted in other Countries; inner fighting between the National Bodybuilding units; a passive position of the Ministry Sport Russia and for this reason no politic solutions of the problem; long lasting public lies of the Russia National Bodybuilding units about their International Federations which they are representing in Russia. Often juridically by Law these International Federations do not egzist, often even the Russia National Bodybuilding units are just 2-3 regional gyms and nothing more. Most activities are based on lies.
This is the background of the work that the Russia National WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) Federation performs for twenty years in the Country. To get the positive results it is a complicated work indeed. But the general situation is good enough to proceed.
While visiting Russia to discuss the future plans the International WFF-WBBF President EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS and the President WFF-WBBF Russia ANDREJ BASOV were two times on the official visit to the Headquarters Administration President Russian Federation VLADIMIR PUTIN.
A famous Hollywood actor and producer, two times WFF-WBBF „Universe“ Champion, called „Russia Schwarzenegger“ ALEKSANDR NEVSKY makes a good push forward for the future developing bodybuilding sport in Russia and on the International level as well. Representing the Team of the President Russian Federation VLADIMIR PUTIN, he works as a sport advisor for the Governor Russia State Tula.
Having the WFF-WBBF International support ALEKSANDR NEVSKY has organized three huge social „Nevsky Classic“ events. Also he was one of the main organizers of the 2011 and 2012 WFF-WBBF Pro Europe Championships in the Russia States Tver and Tula. Then the World‘s best Russia contemporary bodybuilders LIUDMILA KOLESNIKOVA, MICHAIL MALEK, JEVGENIJ KLOCKOV, SERGEJ GRIGORJEV, JEVGENIJ GEMZIN were among the names that media mentioned hundreds of times.
Russia Bodybuilding organizers never stop working. The Vice President WFF-WBBF International MIKHAIL DIAKONOV helps a lot. Ending the 2012 along with a number of regional competitions WFF-WBBF Russia will organize four Huge International Events: the WFF-WBBF Amateur „Universe“ and three International Pro Events („Russia Pro Grand Prix International“, 10 000 US dollars, Niznij Novgorod; „World Pro Cup“, 20 000 US dollars, Tula; World Pro Grand Prix“, US dollars, Moscow).
