Response from Vision Star Entertainment on Dave Palumbo's accusations
Let me first clarify that we are not banning all press from our Europa Games. However, we are being selective as to who receive the limited number of press passes.
The Europa Games are IFBB sanctioned events, and we will always welcome Muscle & Fitness and Flex magazines in our press pit. The Europa Games are also NPC sanctioned events, and the NPC regularly send a representative to cover our shows. The Europa Games has a partnership in place with Muscular Development, and they are on the approved media list.We also encourage the local TV and print media outlets in each city to obtain media passes.
In addition, Vision Star Entertainment has acquired a media outlet which will has exclusive rights to our Europa Games content. We have moved in this direction for a several of reasons... among the top is that we have contractual agreements with our sponsors, and we want to make sure that we are honoring those contracts in regards to title sponsors financially supporting the Europa Games. In the past, the on-line websites that have posted the results of our event have not considered these agreements and it has become a concern for the Europa Games.
Another objective is to be the first to post the results of our own events, and this will also guarantee that the title sponsors who are financially supporting the event get recognition. Therefore at this time we are limiting press passes that might hinder these objectives.
All media pass requests should be sent to BettyPariso@aol.com, and they will be reviewed on an individual basis.
