The WFF-WBBF Headquarters are in correspondence with various bodybuilding structures in various Continents.
Asia in on the most active move to fight against the IFBB.
Asia has great future plans and we are presenting here some extracts from those plans. Of course, we do not publish the names of the Asia Leaders (as they do not want it), but the nearest plans of Asia are great indeed:
A letter of July 3, 2009
…ON THE BASIS OF VALID DOCUMENTATION TO SHOW THAT IFBB IS IN FACT A PRIVATE COMPANY BASED IN CANADA AND AS SUCH AFFILIATIONS THAT NATIONAL BODYBUILDING FEDERATIONS ARE INVALID SINCE THEY DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS OF A NON-PROFIT SPORTS ASSOCIATION,WE WILL THEN, ON ALL COUNTRIES ON A PRE-ARRANGED DATE TAKE THE MATTER TO COURT…
…IF THIS HAPPENS IN ASIA COUNTIRES SIMULTANEOUSLY, THIS BECOMES INTERNATIONAL NEWS, AND THE LAUNCH WILL BE DEVASTATING…
…BECAUSE THIS ENTIRE REGION HANGS TOGETHER, WITH ONE UNIT SUPPORTING THE OTHER; WHEN WE HIT ALL AT THE SAME TIME.. THEY WILL FALL. OUR LEGAL POSITION WILL ALSO BE VERY STRONG, FIGHTING ON ALL RATHER THAN JUST ONE. NOW,THE IFBB IN ASIA IS TOTALLY WEAK….
….WE WILL NEED ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS TO PREPARE LEGALLY…. I THINK IF WE CAN BRING ALL THIS INTO THE OPEN WE CAN WIN A GREAT VICTORY. THIS WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR WFF TO GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH…
….WE CAN PREPARE ALL THIS LEGALLY IN ASIA AND HAVE THE ENTIRE FILE REPLICATED TO THESE DESTINATIONS BECAUSE THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME…
….A SYNCHRONIZED LAUNCH WILL BE FATAL TO THEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY KNOW THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN HIT AS WELL. OF COURSE WE NEED TO PLAN THIS VERY DELIBERATELY…
….WE WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO MARCH ALL OF THE PEOPLE TO THE SPORTS MINISTRY FOR A FACE-TO-FACE SHOW DOWN, TELL ALL THE WRONG THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING AT COMPETITIONS AND MAKE A PUBLIC REQUEST TO HAVE A NEW INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED BODY…ACROSS THE WHOLE OF ASIA…

Dear Edmundas,
I hope everything is ok, this week I will send you the detail information about the contest in Kitzbühel and in Graz.
Please tell me, if you will bring the Arnold photos to Kitzbühel.
In Graz we will visit on Sunday after the Fitness World Contest Thal, this is the town near Graz, where Arnold was born.
So we can make a story for Magazines and Newspapers.
Professor Gerstl will visit with us all the places, where Arnold was leaving there, school etc.
Best greetings to Jolanta

„GULF NEWS“ (some days ago)
The oppinion of the High respected Asia Sport Official, President ABBF:
„The IFBB could not stomach our success at the Asianlevel so they tried to destabilise the ABBF by suspending us on grounds that do not even hold good“, says Osama Al Shafar.
"There is no international federation governing the Asian Bodybuilding Federation (ABBF) and as far as we know the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB) is not even recognised or registered," Osama Al Shafar, ABBF President told Gulf News.
"To be recognised, you have to be registered. If the IFBB was registered, then everyone would have recognised them. Maybe, when they register themselves as a body, member countries will recognise them.
"The International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognises the ABBF.
"The IFBB keeps sending threatening letters to Arab countries telling them that if they compete or attend meetings with the ABBF, they risk the chance of being suspended for life. How can they do this? They are not recognised themselves, and in addition, they have a big case pending against them and their authority to govern the sport," charged Al Shafar.
"The IFBB office in Madrid run by Rafael Santoja [IFBB president] looks more like a small grocery store."
"Our lawyers have found out that the IFBB is not even a registered body and hence the question of them not recognising the ABBF does not arise," he noted.
"They are trying to find fault with us because of the case we've filed against them in London. They've gone crazy," Al Shafar fumed.
