INT. BODYBUILDING AND FITNESS ORGANIZATIONS

[WFF-WBBF secretary service]

Today we received one more letter from the main IFBB Financer Officer.
It seems that RAFAEL SANTONJA is in panic and does not know what he does:

THREATENING LETTER FROM WILLIAM TIERNEY TO SINGAPORE FEDERATION

Sir look at their bullying and threatening tactics. Is this the right way for an international federation to act. They are intimidating, threatening and trying to force people to support them.
William Tierney is so stupid that he does not know what he is doing. Nobody cares about the IFBB corporation and their Senior Officers anymore.
They only wrote to Singapore (I believe) and not to the rest of the 18 other countries plus the 8 proxies. They are frightened there will be an strong letters, protests and attacks.
William stop threatening the national federations if they do not support you. If your "IFBB CORPORATION" is strong why you are frightened to lose one small country like Singapore???

Dear Mr Letchmenon:
We are very surprised to see that there was a representation from Singapore
in the recent meeting called by Mr Paul Chua held in Kuala Lumpur (attached).
In our previous phone conversation while you were in Holland, you were
informed and provided with documents through Ms Juliette Bergmann, President
of the Dutch Federation, which gave you full information about the real facts
that involve the suspension of Mr Chua, which centres around a very serious
violation of the IFBB Anti Doping Rules
The IFBB is signatory of the WADA Code, like the Olympic Council of Asia and
the Singapore Government.
Therefore it is mandatory for the Singapore Federation to follow the Anti
Doping Code.
The IFBB opened an investigation, on these matters, following WADA´s
recommendation, and as well assisted by WADA in the case, due the seriousness
of the matter.
In your conversation with me, you mentioned you are aware of the importance of
the IFBB Anti Doping Code, and the principles of the Anti Doping Policy.
You are fully aware that a suspended IFBB official cannot organize any event
on behalf of the IFBB;
The same as a suspended IFBB athlete, who cannot participate in any IFBB
events.
Singapore's presence in Kuala Lumpur, in a meeting called by a suspended
official, without having this matter in the agenda, and most likely, intending
to deviate the attention away from the correct follow up of the Anti Doping
Policy, is unacceptable..
We would appreciate receiving your letter of clarification in this matter and
your confirmed support to the IFBB.
We hope that your clarification will avoid having to inform your Government
and Sport Authorities.
Sincerely yours,
William Tierney
IFBB General Secretary
