Title: Guys from other federations competing in IFBB shows!
Post by: Kamikaze Paul on May 26, 2007, 02:10:49 AM

We see that the IFBB is getting guys from other federations and then threatening them that if they go to another federation they will be suspended.  Adhering to the rules is one thing but with this kind of action more pros will make the switch and if it didn’t work they will apologies or get an influence to get back in the IFBB.  So if that is the case why have the rule on not going to other federation in the fist place. 

Just to name a few.  These are some of the relevant case

Eryk Bui: another Musclemania to NPC and an IFBB pro now

Melvin Anthony: another Musclemania to NPC and an IFBB pro now

Dennis James: NABBA, NPC and now an IFBB pro.

Toney Freeman:  AAU, NPC and now an IFBB pro.

Bob Cicherillo: AAU, NPC and now IFBB pro and Athletes rep.

Hasan Saqa:   won the NABBA Mr. Universe then did the Asian Games – IFBB with influence of his local federation.

Flex Lewis: won the Mr Universe - NABBA, Junior then did the British Championships - IFBB, with influence of the EBBF

Sami Hadad: did the PDI NOC now will do the world Championship-IFBB (after apologizing from Paul Chua when he was in Dubai)

Lee Priest: can get back anytime if he stops doing the PDI shows and apologies

Stan McQuay:  after doing the Musclemania for four years he went to the NPC and now he is a pro in the IFBB

The IFBB does have rules. They like to bend them so no other organization has a chance to survive. They want to be the only game in town.

Stan will never make it in the IFBB looking that "natural"

These are all people who came into the IFBB from other organizations, and have chosen to compete in the IFBB, not in another organization.  If they choose to compete in another organization while a member of the IFBB, they will be suspended.  It is so simple, it isnt hard to understand.

Do we have proof that Sami is jumping ship? As of last month when I spoke with him, he was gearing up for the PDI and was prbably going to do 2 or 3 of their shows
