The official explanation of the situation is:
We did register WBBF in February.
Some country-members of WFF-International want to receive Government support and get Government financing of their activities.
The Governments say that in this case the International Federation must sign the World's Anti Doping Code.
We have 84 Country members and their opinions are different. It is a long process of discussions.
We shall discuss the matter of Anti-Doping at the 2007 International Congress this summer.
But - at the same time we have not so much time and we must act quickly.
We did it this way:
1.WFF is in contact with WADA for signing the Anti-Doping Contract.
2.We state that at this moment WFF Contests have only Free of Doping Categories: "Fit-Kids" (8-14 years), Aerobic Fitness, Model Fitness.
We think about Classic Fitness to join them in autumn.
3. All other Categories (Performance, Athletic, Super Athletic and Bodybuilding) are represented in WBBF-International. It is a long way with anti-doping... Weider brothers were thinking of it for long 40 years.
4.All International Contests (World, Continental) every time are organized by the two Official and Registered International Federations at one time: WFF and WBBF.
WFF Categories are open for doping control any time and the WBBF Categories are in long process of thinking and discussing the problem.
We are open and we do not lie as some other federations do.
Resume:
WFF is free to act positively with Anti-Doping World Wide and WBBF is in the long process of thinking the matter over... We are sure it will not take 40 years of thinking as IFBB did it...
All our steps are official, International Federations registered by the Lowers according the law of the Country.
