Dear Paul,
I would like to remind you that:
1) The Asian Bodybuilding Championships are Continental Official Events and not International Championships mentioned and governed by the IFBB Rules. In this respect the application of IFBB Rules article 2.1 and article 19.4.7 by IFBB is wrong and improper. I guess that the intention of somebody is to mislead the member federations of ABBF or to try to find the reason to suspend the members of IFBB in Asia which support the ABBF in order to clear all the obstacles to IFBB in the coming IFBB Congress.
2) The Asian Bodybuilding Championships are properties of the ABBF, to organize such Asian Official Events, the organizing member country must get approval from the ABBF and not the IFBB.
3) I agree that up to this moment the IFBB is still acting as the care taker as the recognized International Federation for the sport of Bodybuilding and Fitness, but don't forget that the ABBF is also the sole recognized Continental Federation for the sport of Bodybuilding and Fitness in Asia. The ABBF and its member federations need to be respected also, they have the right to saveguard theirs rights and interests.
I am am American and I thought that the IFBB should not cross the border of justice. I am not bothered with the personalty clash between you and Rafael. The IFBB should realize that they are not RECOGNISED by the International Olympic Committee and they were expelled from provisional membership for not following the rules of the IOC. So there is nothing for them to crow or bark.
Furthermore, as I understand that the IFBB was not registered in Spain and this alone is enough to protect the image of the ABBF.
Best regards,
Bill
