WFF secretary service Wrote:After some other questions let us go back to the very important juridical questions, that we were speaking over the last 10 years.
Let us state the facts we have today:
Old IFBB corporation (IFBB Canada)
- The IFBB was for years a private firm of BEN WEIDER and Co.
- Though in fact it was the “IFBB Canada”, BEN WEIDER presented it as the International Federation (today it seems nonsense as a great number of National Federations up to 2007 used to be members of the National IFBB of Canada…)
New IFBB-EFBB corporation (IFBB Spain)
- in 2007 the new IFBB-EFBB Spain corporation was set in Spain by RAFAEL SANTONJA. Again the IFBB-EFBB Spain (as it was with BEN WEIDER’S IFBB in Canada) is presented as the International Federation though in fact it is a National Unit of Spain
- the new IFBB-EFBB has only three country-members with only three voices to vote ( and RAFAEL SANTONJA is free to manipulate with them as he wants to). All other “co-members” will join the IFBB-EFBB Spain with no real voice to vote. Again old “children games” are to be played and sportsmen and National Federations are being fooled
- declaring the end of old IFBB in Canada and instead of ending it’s activities and transferring to the new IFBB-EFBB, the old IFBB Canada still lives and makes business
- at the IFBB Congress in Czech were no real elections of RAFAEL SANTONJA. Only the appointing letter from the USA was read and that was all
- it seems that today we are faced with a number of IFBB’s: two from Canada, four from Spain and the “IFBB patriots” and Officials do not even know it. RAFAEL SANTONJA refuses to present the registration documents and accounts of all these firms to the members of the IFBB-EFBB
- behind this number of IFBB-EFBB firms, corporations etc.. is a number of private firms of RAFAEL SANTONJA which manipulate with sport money of the IFBB-EFBB federations the way they like and without any control.
This is for this time. More information is on the way.
