In my last conversation with Bob we agreed that he could/should [and hopefully will] help me with my reinstatement to pro division of the IFBB...
My last letter, sent to IFBB office - about a year ago (constructed by one of the high ranked IFBB officials whom I respect /
and listen!/ a great deal) unfortunately was NOT good enough - by IFBB Headquarters standards - as they denied my appeal...
I accepted one year suspension - as I was told by IFBB officials "to be a good boy", accept the penalty, stay quiet and after one year I would be right back where I belong...where I was - since 1991 - IFBB pro division, in which I competed in record breaking 72 professional shows; qualifying for the Mr. Olympia competition 10 consecutive years - in {what many experts agreed to be} THE most competitive decade in history of the IFBB and/or bodybuilding as a sport; officially holding IFBB professional title; competing in every major show ever organized, 10 times/years entering popular NOC /known to be show for newcomers hoping to become superstars/, every European tour /competing in front of completely different judging panels made up from local European judges -
different in every country - accepting the "judging challenges" which many IFBB "superstars" would not dare...Competing in EVERY SINGLE organized IFBB show in Calendar season - not once or twice - but 4 times/years...(fact only competitors would really know how to appreciate...)...etc..etc
I proudly claim - I am the IFBB pro competitor (
suspension does not mean expulsion) who did numerous things FOR the federation and many IFBB competitors, officials, promoters...and most importantly FANS - for many years...and NOTHING against it!
Yes - NOTHING AGAINST THE IFBB - EVER!
My "problem" was/is - my effort to save the integrity of the IFBB - which was highly compromised by some unethical individual(s).../something that I will prove WHEN THE TIME COMES and let many people eat their words
/...and my CONSTANT fight against certain IFBB rules, irregularities, non-sense...and MOST IMPORTANTLY: I fight FOR THE ATHLETES - always was and always will...and that is something that many people do not realize...
I am NOT a problem or an enemy...I am SOLUTION and a best friend...and certainly - I will eventually accomplish everything I have intentions to accomplish...and WHAT that really is - remains to be seen...
In life HARD WORK and TRUTH always win at the end...and that end is not so far...
