Secretary General-ABBF
Respected Sir,
Many of our member countries called me up and told me about the letter send to them by IFBB mentioning that 43rd Asian Championship at Pattaya(Thailand)is not recognized or sanctioned by IFBB and Participating countries and Athletes will be suspended.All these countries are very upset and disappointed with this harsh attitude of IFBB, threatenings and all.They also told me that they will support and remain with ABBF only under the leadership of You and Mr.Osama Alshafar as they are fed-up with double standards of IFBB.
Our members are shocked that on what grounds they are saying all this.OCA recognized ABBF under the leadership of you and Mr.Osama Alshafar.All the member countries were waiting for various reply from IFBB regarding many question and verification but no reply was given by IFBB.Moreover before announcing the suspension about ABBF neither the member countries were informed with concrete facts and reasons for this suspension nor these countries gave their consent to form SCA under Qatar which is already controversial for cheating in doping.
The competition IFBB wants to organize in India is not approved by Govt of India and IOA.There is a huge controversy that they selected one Athlete who is under suspension for doping matter.
All these countries confirmed me that they will participate at Pattaya(Thailand).
Best Regards
Amit Swami

Dear Datuk,
Thus far, Singapore has not received any threatening letters from IFBB with regards to the Asian Championship and our support and participation. Even if they send us, we will probably be ignoring the letter just as they have conveniently ignored our letters seeking clarification and explanation. Without concrete facts and proper explanation (which they keep claiming they will share in due time but failed till now), we will not accept arbitrary decisions made ultra vires of the constitution. ABBF has been reasonably open and transparent of all proceedings with regards to this dispute and our support shall vest in where justice lies. The truth will always prevail..This tiny red dot will not be cowered by their desperate acts of attempted salvage.
