With the ongoing war of aggression that Russia has unleashed on Ukraine, the IFBB Elite Pro has issued a statement saying that Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials are banned from competitions until further notice. Since Russia first began its assault on Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, multiple sporting organizations have banned athletes from participating in any events for the time being.

This announcement is sure to shake things up for 2022 as there was a scheduled IFBB Elite Pro event to take place in Russia at the beginning of April. We can only imagine the event below is off the table for now.

Attention IFBB: you yourselves are a menace to society. IFBB pro bodybuilders have died at an alarming rate over the past 18 months. You should be banned.

People from NATO terrorist states should be banned from travel to non-NATO countries. It's clear at this point that most of the world is not aligned with American interests and it's time to put the squeeze on the empire of lies.

I saw this on YT on my tv last night....I think it was either Fazi Fitness or Nick's channel, and I thought the same as what you stated.

Sports shouldn't suffer from politics disagreaments.

Kind of a low move in my opinion.

This could be the end of ukraine as we know it.

Those warriors will need a new battleground now that they can't go to war on stage.

The IFBB's new rulebook says that competitors who show up too early to contests are russian but if they're late they're stalin.

This is Elite Pro. Wonder if Jim Manion will do the same. Not sure which of the two IFBBs most of the Russian and Ukrainians have been competing in. Probably in the Elite Pro which just banned them because Elite Pro is more entrenched in Europe. Maybe the Russians can just fly to Columbus for the Arnold Classic (oh, but can they get flights?).
