WFF-WBBF Headquarters Int Wrote:Today we received a letter from India.
India Bodybuilding Federation Official Mahesh Lohar wrote us a letter today.
He informs that the previously planned in India NABBA-3 (Joe Lopez, Jim Pitt) “Universe” Contest is canceled.
Having new dates of the International Contest Mahesh Lohar addresses the WFF-WBBF International.
The WFF-WBBF International answer was:
Dear friend,
We understand the situation clearly.
Our official position remains the same:
1.WFF and WBBF are official International Federations.
Basing on the Governmental Institutions (Sport Ministries, National Olympic Committees) of the majority of our Country-members we work only officially.
2.NABBA-3 (Joe Lopez, Jim Pitt) which You represent is not official from our point of view and it makes our participation at NABBA's Events not official too.
It is a tourism for us, not sport.
3.THE MOST IMPORTANT!
WFF-WBBF International is ready to work with India National Federation as it is official and it covers the requirements of WFF-WBBF International.
In case You want the WFF-WBBF International to exchange the NABBA-3 in organizing the Event in India (any dates that are suitable to India, but no later than November 10), we are ready to speak it over.
You are to come with guarantee letters to any of the 2008 WFF-WBBF International Events:
- WFF-WBBF Amateur World Championships (November 14-16, Bydgoszcz, Poland)
- the 9-th WFF-WBBF Amateur "Universe" Contest (November 21-23, Vilnius, Lithuania)
-WBBF Pro World Championships (November 21-23, Vilnius, Lithuania).
Yours faithfully,
Edmundas Daubaras
