Because he begged and pleaded and apologized for his disgraceful actions. Once he proved that he was truly sorry and stopped talking shit about the IFBB officials, judges, and staff was when he was reinstated back into the ranks.
Sami has not begged for forgiveness yet and neither has Sean Allen so they will unfortunately be looking on the other side of the window
Sami said at the time that he'd have loved to have been an IFBB pro...
They just woudln't offer him a card.
He won his national show for 8 (tim?) years. He tried. They didn't offer Sami a card.
So, when another place did offer him a card, he took it. He never betrayed the IFBB because he was *never in* the IFBB. He's still trying to get in. He's not an NPC athlete either, correct?
