Please answer question regarding IFBB rules re porn?

[The ChemistV2]

Just a question that I'm curious about. In the mid 70's Serge Nubret was suspended from the IFBB for allegedly appearing in Porno films which later were revealed to be no more explicit than what you'd see in a R rated movie. Apparently this supposedly reflected badly on the IFBB. Without naming names, We know of an IFBB female pro who has magazines and sells films of herself and other IFBB pro's in which they are clearly exposing their hideously masculinized genitalia and engage in real, not simulated, explicit sex scenes.

Also a male IFBB pro that is filmed sodomizing a defenseless Citrus fruit for the pleasure of sexual deviants. This pro is not only not reprimanded, but has won a recent pro show. My question to you Bob is, are there no longer anything in the IFBB rules concerning pornography  and in your personal opinion do you really believe competing in a non IFBB sanctioned event reflects worse on the IFBB than the above mentioned behavior?

The ifbb picks and chooses what rules they want to enforce and who to enforce them against.  As long as it doesnt threaten them financially (see Lee Priest), they dont have a problem with their pros breaking the rules.

In that case, I predict this post will be deleted very quickly.

Yes very true.

IFBB "rules"!!!!  Isn't that an oxymoron?  They have a drug policy.  I mean they actually have a drug policy.  This is actually in the IFBB Contstitution.  Athletes must "compete drug-free."  Hahahahahahaha..IFBB rules.

Sounds like you're mentioning Denise Masino

On a completely unrelated note, I wonder how many IFBB pros fail to pay their taxes and end up with state and federal tax liens filed against them in Los Angeles County?

Please GB, don't hold back if you have info.  Spill it!

would be interesting to find out

Here is some fun stuff.  

Go to http://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/inquiry/inquirySearchParam.jis  and search Kevin Levrone.  

Countless unsatisfied judgments against him.

I doubt the False Master's Mr. Olympia has the courage to answer this question.

Lady's and Gentlemen place your bets now!

[knny187]

since the title of the thread has both Bob's name & "IFBB rules" in the same sentence....


yes

[Meltdown]

Why have any RULES if the drug rule is not enforced then it should be "We Don't have any RULES".

Wonder if these obligations are large enough to undermine any objectivity they might have in their dealings.......

If I owed a relatively large sum of money to Uncle Sam, I'd sure as hell not want to upset the people who pay me. 

Just saying.

The fact is, they don't have any rules, other than what Weider/Manion decide is good for themselves at any given point in time.  Weider couldn't care less about drugs/porn, as they don't affect his pocket-book.  Someone starting up another league, however, does.

The "Rules" are just for show to help sell the illusion that the IFBB is a non-profit "Sports Federation", rather than the money-grubbing private enterprise that it is.  What's funny is Bob coming on here trying to defend actions in the context of the rules, rather than just admitting the rulebook is total bullshit window dressing, and it's really "whatever the boss says goes".


Now, what I'm more interested in is the fact that some IFBB pros may not be paying their taxes. 

Where are these allegations of tax evasion coming from?

Wonder why Bob is so eager to toe the boss's line?  He always claims to have the pros' best interests at heart, but one wonders if he really does ...................

[calmus]

We already know Bob's a company man...  that's old news.

But he's always denied it.  Always claimed to be a successful businessman who is able to put the pros' best interests above all.  Wonder if that pretty little picture is accurate?

you're in luck.  Ron and Bob are both at the LA Fitness Expo today and the Ironman finals tonight.

Why should this thread be deleted at all?  It used to be that Getbig was the flashlight that shown into the dark corners of the IFBB, causing the cockroaches to scatter.  Now it's as if the cockroaches have taken over.

Purely academic interest here, goat.... Has Uncle Sam used tax evasion as grounds to apply pressure on people they might want information from?

[calmus]

Isn't that Novitzky guy going after the baseball players an IRS agent?

His grandfather, I think.

Bump for freeloading IFBB pros.
