Post by: jaejonna on August 01, 2006, 05:34:16 AM
Rule 1: Cant compete in any other BB federation
Rule 2: Cant Take Steroids -b/c you will die
Rule 3: Cant Invovle yourself in Pornographic Materials
Rule 4: Cant become involved in criminal activity


Guess which one the IFBB considers the most punishable.

Rules that stop you fucking up your health should be more important than trying to make a few bucks by doing a show.

Its beyond hypocrisy!

If the IFBB is a nonprofit organization, why would it care what it's guys do on the side to make money? 

Do Red Cross workers get mad if its employees do some charity work at the American Cancer Society on the weekends? 

Why would a Canadian nonprofit organization care at all, if its uncontracted and often unpaid members wanted to work for an American private sports company (the PDI)?

I cannot believe this hasn't come up yet.

What happend at the Toronto when it got canceled? Did the money get distributed?

Right from the IFBBProRules

34.11 Refund Policy:
Once the organizer pays the Pro League the total sum of the prize money, that money cannot be returned to the organizer for any reason. If, for any reason, the organizer cancels the competition, the total sum of the prize money is distributed in equal amounts to each of the competitors who signed a contract to participate in the competition.

Allot of the rules in the IFBB had to be put in place in order for it to get the status it has.  They had to make it sound as clean and as organized as possible.  It's all smoke and mirrors.  They really mean nothing and are only upheld if it means a possible loss in revenue for the IFBB.  Hence the Lee Priest thing.  Lee is by far the most popular and one of themost "looked-up too" BB's out there.  He has accomplished allot in BB even considering his obvious disadvantage.  He looks awesome and he speaks his mind and stands up for what he believes in.  That is what makes him so appealing to the masses.  WHen someone like this goes against the grain like he is doing it hurts the image of the IFBB more than say if Chic was doing the same thing.  So the IFBB now is making Lee an example.  It's a "pick and choose" rule book for the IFBB.  There is no honor in the rule book just like there is none with the Weiders and the IFBB.
