A large part of this issue seems to be a lack of communication capabilities. Although I may not agree with everything Bob does, he seems to be doing the best he can in what is essentially herding cats; there's no shows with greater pro attendence than the Arnold and Olympia, and it's not like Bob isn't easy to get a hold of if there are changes you want to see made. Milos does have a point abot the international community, and it's no secret that they are marginalized and have more obstacles ot overcome than American pros. Perhaps a solution would be to establish a pros-only forum on the IFBB website itself, and on top of that have a monthly newsletter sent out to all IFBB pros that would inform them of upcoming meetings. This way they would have a venue for proposing ideas for all to vote on, as well as being able to hash it out among each other without the interference of outsiders. Have anon-disclosure agreement of some kind to keep things from being reposted outside of the site just to be safe. As well, you could then have absentee ballots so that athletes that cannot make the big meetings for one reason or another can cast their voteson issues, just have the vote close say about a week after the official meetings. Milos, Melvin and Bob, you and any other pros could work together to hash out how you'd want this set up, and I think it would address most of the issues at stake here.
The other big part of this seems to be Shawn's involvement, and he has yet to speak on that, but it appears that he was acting like scum. I think it's noteable that Bob has only been defending his actions, not Shawn's in this, so Shawn still has a lot to answer for.
