I am not sure which fact I got wrong.
There is the misconception in the US, that IFBB is "professional" only, which is not the case.

there are so many athletes that do the Musclemania AND the NPC, but the IFBB never cares... but PDI, ....

Well...here is her first post on the subject.

She is asking why the IFBB doesn't care...MY point is that they wouldn't care, as it's a NPC matter.

The PDI is portrayed as a PROFESSIONAL organization, hence the IFBB will enforce it's rules which clearly state that you cannot compete for a rival federation.

The IFBB doesn't (and naver have) gotten involved in NPC matters, THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS.

The NPC doesn't (and never have) gotten involved in IFBB matters, THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS.

You know why that is?

BECAUSE THERE IS NO IFBB AMATEUR IN THE U.S.

Amazing you defend the right to suspend someone because they went to a different orgnization but you choose not to enforce the other "rules"

If the IFBB has no amateurs in the US, who goes to the IFBB World Championships?
And if the IFBB has no amateurs in the US, who goes the the "North Americans", which is an IFBB amateur contest.

then there is no IFBB amateur in Canada, there is the CBBF, and no IFBB amateur in the UK, there is the UKBBF. which means there is no amateur IFBB in any country, and the IFBB is only the organization that runs the international events.

But the website says "The IFBB is a democratic federation, currently comprised of 176 National Federations."

The NPC is the US national organization of the IFBB (although it is not a federation).

If a CBBF athlete is a member of the IFBB, then an NPC athlete is a member of the IFBB.

A team comprised of winners from the NPC Team Universe.

Members of the NPC. It's only "IFBB" in that it is comprised of Canada, mexico, and the U.S. Since the NPC's only jurisdiction is in the United States.

I explain them...there is a difference. If I agreed with everything...I wouldn't make the changes I have, or tried to form a union a few years ago.

You "defended" the IFBB as to their suspending Lee for going to a different organization, and yes, you do defend the rules!

It's funny....that no one realizes that.

I think it's because no one ever asks you Bob where you disagree on matters. They just automatically assume you support every endeavor with the IFBB...

& you know what happens when you automatically assume

Do your search and find out how Ronnie Coleman won his por status.

Hint: it wasn't by winning any NPC national show!!! And he's american, for the best of my knowledge

After your failed attempt at a union, it is quite obvious that you found out being an IFBB spokeperson is to your benefit
and hence your actions and words reflect that.

The code is just that..a code, a eference, a guideline...there is a reason they are seperate from the rules.
Athletes are held accountable on a individual basis...case by case, and depending on the severity of the infraction, or number of occurances, they may be issed a verbal warning, a written warning, etc...

Chick, has every pro been given a written warning not to use drugs?

Thats what I thought. How can Chic possibly say their is no connection between the NPC and IFBB. These people practice "conflict of interest" as a regular everyday thing.

Not quite sure whats so hard to understand...

The "pro league" is a division of the IFBB, as is the IFBB amateur, and other affiliates around the world...

The NPC is a totally seperate entity with different rules, different officers...they are affiliated as the NPC is the ONLY amateur org. in the U.S. that the IFBB recognizes.

Who is Jim Manion and what is is title. Just wondering since they are two separate entities in the same industry, why isn't he suspended. Do you see a conflict here or not.

Goddam you're an idiot....

Ronnie was chosen to represent the U.S. for the HW division at the World championships, he won his class, thus making him a pro.

No one said an American couldn't win the worlds...

putz.

Do you even bother to read?

I never said there was "no connection" between the two...I said just the opposite actually.

I said they are two different businesses, they have an affiliation as the NPC is the U.S. Amateur "farm club" to the IFBB pro league.

Anything else you wish to be corrected on today?

The IFBB pro league is just a subdivision of the IFBB. What is the relationship between the amateur IFBB and the amateur NPC? The later is a member of the former. Members of the NPC are also members of the amateur IFBB
