Self-interest is always transparent in the IFBB. You help the IFBB and they sometimes reciprocate. Or you wait in line to be anointed.
Take Bob's position. Well, no one wants it do they? So, even though there are no elections the default is that Bob keeps his shitty job because none of the other pros are stupid enough to take it. Besides, how can you represent guys you are competing against? That is a conflict. So perhaps it is best that a retired 3rd tier guy gets the job. I mean, what harm can he do? I wonder if he voted to keep Milos and Lee out?
Now, let us be real, folks, does anyone expect an appointed guy and friend of the boss will be disloyal to them? Nope. Bob is the predictable stooge and patsy. Look at the hiding he is receiving regularly on Getbig by guys far smarter than he is. On the positive side he provides well for his family and that can't be said for most pros out there. No wonder he is tenacious about his position. He needs that role to be part of the current bodybuilding scene. You hear him pontificate on those radio shows about the other pros and that surely is a conflict with his position. How can he criticize the other pros re their physiques and then represent them? Clearly the guy has no clue at all about what he is doing. He is the enemy of the professionals and a confederate among them.
