any other structure, especially with not official one.
Nearly all so called "international federations" are not official by Law as
sport federations and can not be accepted as such.
In most cases that are private companies with their private business.
WFF-WBBF is strong enough today (if not the strongest federation by Law) to
lead the International Sport of Bodybuilding and Fitness.
We do it.
It is NABBA-3 of Joe Lopez that was with us in Greece together last month.
Australian Joe Lopez is out of the game for a number of years.
Today in NABBA-3 there are 5-6 active country members only.
NABBA-3 was with a German organisation for 3-4 years, but now they split.
We do not care much about other federations as these federations are not
official federations.
But we never neglect positive and friendly initiative of them.
Every federation consists of people and there are many good persons in every
federation.
We should respect and we do respect them.
NABBA-3 too.
Every of us has some positive and negative characteristics.
On June 14, 2008 NABBA-3 proposed to organize NABBA World Championship and
WBBF World Amateur Grand Prix in Greece.
We accepted their proposal.
Being in Greece we received the official letter from India Officials, asking
for membership in WFF-WBBF.
They asked the permittion to organize the annual WFF-WBBF Asia Championships
and some other great International Events in India.
Again we argeed as this initiative is fine.
WFF-WBBF is working a number of years on organizing Asia Championships.
India, Pakistan, Iran, Philippines, Maldives, Ceylon are supporting our
idea.
If it is India to take the initiative, then why not?
ASIA CHAMPIONSHIP
First of all WFF-WBBF is ready to work with India, especially in organizing
annual WFF-WBBF Asia Championship.
Annual WFF-WBBF Asia Championship for our International Federation is a
PRIORITY QUESTION.
We even have in mind the idea of organizing 2008 WFF-WBBF Asia Championship
in Siberia (Jekaterinburg, Russia) first weekend of December.
Today we received a request of our Officials in Jekaterinburg to organize a
WBBF Pro Contest in December (they will pay air tickets from Moscow to
Jekaterinburg and back, hotels, breakfast etc.. and quarantee 20 000 Euro
Prize Money for WBBF Pros).
They did it already in 2006 and 2007 in Jekaterinburg for WFF-WBBF.
Then some Asia Countries participated there too.
So we think to make in Jekaterinburg both Pro and Amateur Contests, but
Amateur would be the first WFF-WBBF Asia Champinship.
Soon we will decide and then start working on it.
asia has a great future!
