IFBB Rules
At the IFBB Pro Committee Annual Meeting held on September 27, 2007 a few new proposals were adopted that have a direct effect on any pro fitness and figure athletes competing during the 2008 contest season. Here are a few items taken from the IFBB website. (www.ifbbpro.com)
“Athletes will be required to have a written contract postmarked no later than 6 weeks prior to the date of the competition. Contracts received after the due date will be subject to a US $500 late fee to the promoter.”
“Athletes with a signed contract 6 weeks from the date of the competition will split the sanction money on deposit at the time of the cancellation upon the cancellation of the competition any time prior to original date set.”
“All IFBB Pro League cards will be renewed (postmarked) annually by January 15th. Any card renewed after this date will cost the athlete US $400.”
“The fine of US $1,000 for athletes who withdraw from a competition without a legitimate medical reason, as certified by a physician accepted by the IFBB Pro League, will be enforced.”

Does this mean that physicians have to be pre-approved by the IPL?
