Dear Athletes and Officials,
after receiving several death threads within the last month and other
series of negative things that have
what happened to us,we decided after carefully deliberating,to cancel
the show.We do not
take this lightly because we care about the Athletes but our personal
safety is more
important.Not only our personal safety, but as well of the
participants. We consultat several people about our problem and finaly
came to this dicision.I know I will loose our face over this and we
put already $40000 in this
show,which we will never get back but we still have our lives.No
Bodybuilding show is
worth to put your family or Athletes in danger.
All entry fees and ticket fees will be returned within 10 days.
sincerely
B&A Production
Dear Michael,
Unfortunately we do not know Ben and Astrid personaly.
When it started it was something unexpected to us, to WFF-WBBF.
But we are always open to any new ideas and we never say "NO" to anybody and we never close the door for possible friends.
We could cooperate, yes.
But then was the next step - B&A neglected the federations and started communicating with sportsmen direct...
WFF-WBBF lost it's interest as we have over 60 WFF-WBBF International Contests World Wide this year.
Some of WFF-WBBF Contests double or even triple the proclamed expences of B&A...
We have a lot to do in our own garden and we have no interest to waist time and money and energy for the Event only the ""God knows what it is"..
Unfortunately for B&A happening, but it is as it is.
Believe me, if it were a WFF-WBBF Contest, lots of Athletes from Europe, South-North Americas and Asia, Africa would come to the Event in USA.
Sorry for B&A.
Maybe they will change their mind and work with us together in the future?
Anyway we were not believers in he Event that was not ours from the very beginning...
