IFBB started to do it at once from suspending it’s first “Universe” Champion ED SILVESTRE (1959), following F.LABRADOR and RICKY WAYNE.
Then it was the “medium generation” of IFBB Pros including Top Stars and Top Officials…
Then in the 90-ties nearly all IFBB pros left IFBB and went to VINCE MAC MACHON… What happened after? How many talented sportsmen were crucified?
Only Estonian OLEV ANNUS managed for NABBA activities to be twice sentenced by IFBB “for all life” and still continuing his participation as IFBB Pro.
IFBB continued this commercial business for years.
It is very interesting but I have seen some NABBA and WABBA sportsmen on the Competitor's List of 2008 "Arnold Classic".
Maybe IFBB are in friendly relations with WABBA and NABBA now?
