Dear. Mr. William Tierney,
Please see my reply to your email dated 22.07.2009, and I hope I get the answer of my question. I should not respond to your e-mail, but my conduct, personality, speciality and ethics allow me to respond.
You must know that I am an Executive Vice President for ABBF, which recognized by OCA, and I have no more link with IFBB.I respect any decision from OCA, and not from IFBB.
As you mentioned, the IFBB is a Signatory to the WADA Code and, through its anti-doping rules, conforms to the Code.
Sorry to tell you that you wrong, and the IFBB is not following the WADA Anti-Doping Rules, because:
1. Why IFBB hide the doping result of Jose Santos from Brazil. Please see Mr. Tony blinn e-mail to Rafael.
2. Why you do random doping test of top sex by testing 2 only in each category – you must test top three, the medalist and then random for the others in each category, you are doing this during in the IFBB world Men's Bodybuilding Championship, do you know why? I will answer you to reduce your positive cases.
3. Why IFBB did not ask for “B” samples, when the Tunisia laboratory rejected the 2 samples due to the quantity of urine in “A” was not sufficient to analyze, due to a serious mistake which IFBB Medical Committee made.
In spite that the ABBF do the top six doping test which means that in each championship 54 will be tested, and all athletes must be tested 4 weeks of the championship, and they must show the doping certificate on the Weighing –In day, NOW TELL ME WHO IS FOLLOWING THE WADA RULES IFBB, or ABBF?
4. Why IFBB medical team don’t know the amount of urine to be collected in each bottle “A” & “B”, as per the WADA rules the "A" sample bottle must contain minimum 50 ml and "B" sample bottle 25 ml. IFBB medical committee team make a big nad serious mistake, and violate the WADA doping rules during the 62nd IFBB Men’s Bodybuilding Championship in Bahrain on 6th of November 2008.
5. If you are following the WADA rules, why you reduced the suspension of 2 athletes from QATAR (Ali Tabrizi, and Kamal Abdulsalam) in the year of 2003 from 2 years to 9 months, and with the penalty of 10.000 US $ per each,
CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME ABOUT THIS SERIOUS VIOLATION, AND BASED ON WHICH ARTICLES IN THE IFBB DOIPNT RULES AND WADA RULES.
6. Again you reduced the life banned of on the above athlete ( Kamal ) from life banned to 8 month in order to participate in 2008 IFBB Championship. Again can you explain to me in which constitution and article this action written in which IFBB had taken its action upon? THIS IS AGIANST THE WADA RULES, AND VERY SERIOUS VIOLATION.
7. What action IFBB had taken against Egypt Bodybuilding Federation:
Violated doping from the year of 2000 – 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 World Games, and IFBB World Championship, 2006, 2007, and 2008. They failed 9 years continues doping test. WHAT ACTION IFBB TAKEN, SORY TO TELL YOU NOTHING, BECAUSE IFBB TAKING EGYPT SIDE. WHY?
?
Egypt athlete Yousry Al Sayed was tested positive in the year of 2002 in IFBB championship in Cairo – Egypt ( 1ST Offence ). Then tested positive in the year of 2005 in World Games in Dasburg – Germany ( 2nd Offence ), and how come he participated in the 41st IFBB World Men’s Bodybuilding Championship in Check Republic. He supposed to be banned for life. How come he participated in this event, and again he tested positive ( 3rd Offence ). CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME IN WHICH CONSTITUTION AND WHICH ARTICLES SUCH RULES WILL ALLOW HIM TO PARTICIPATE? ONLY IN CORPORATUION CONSTITUTION.
THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS DOPING VIOALTION WHICH IFBB
DID ,BY NOT TAKE ANY ACTION WHICH IS AGAINST THE WADA
RULES.
8. Why you removed the suspension of Qatar Bodybuilding Federation, and it was approved by your president Rafael Santonja in ABBF Congress in China in the month of August 2007, and he ( IFBB President ) supported ABBF decision very highly. For your kind information all of these DOCUMENTED. Not only this the IFBB President approved ABBF decision in IFBB Congress in the same year ( October 2007 ) in Jeju - Korea in IFBB Congress, and IFBB send the Qatar team back, and did not allow them to participate in the championship.
WHY IFBB DID NOT ALLOW THE QATAR TEAM TO PARTICIPATE IN 61st IFBB MEN'S BODYBUILDING CHAMPIONSHIP IN JEJU IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2007, AND IFBB SEND THE QATAR TEAM BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY. CAN YOU ASNWER THIS QUESTION, WHY YOU SEND THE TEAM BACK? AND WHY IN THE YEAR OF 2008 AFTER THE QATAR PRESIDENT WITH ADEL FAHEEM WENT TO MADRID AND MET RAFAEL SANTONJA, THEN HE ( RAFAEL ) REMOVED ALL THE SUSPENSION, IT IS A BIG QUESTION MARKS
?
Yes I was the chairman of the hearing committee for the 3 athletes from China Hong Kong, and with my committee , WE GAVE OVER PROPOSAL TO ABBF PRESIDENT IN 2005, JUST PROPOSAL, AND WE DID NOT TOOK ANY ACTION, WE FOUND THAT THEY ARE NOT CRIMINALS, AND WE DID NOT BY PASS THE LAW. BUT IFBB DID WHEN HE ALLOWED QATAR ATHLETE KAMAL ABDULSALAM TO PARTICPATE IN IFBB EVENT WHILE UNDER SUSPENSION, WHY IFBB DID NOT ASK ABBF, AND IFBB PRESIDENT WAS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ATHELETE. NOT ONLY THIS IN DECEMBER 2007, HE PARTICIPATED IN UNSANCTIONED CHAMPIONSHIP IN USA, AND MR. DOUGLESS THE PRESIDENT OF THAILAND BODYBUILDING FEDEARTION WROTE SEVERAL LETTERS TO RAFAEL SANTONJA – IFBB PRESIDENT ABOUT THIS SERIOUS ISSUE BUT TILL DATED HE IS QUITE AND DID NOT ANSWER MR. DOUGLESS. AND YOU ARE ASKING ME WHY I WAS SILENT WHEN THE HONG KONG ATHELTE PARTICIPATED IN 2005 IN IFBB CHAMPIONSHIP WHILE UNDR SUSPENTION. FOR YOUR KIND INFORAMTION, I DID NOT ATTEN THIS CHAMPIONSHIP, AND HOW CAN I KNOW HE PARTICIPATED. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF IFBB TO CHECK THE POSITIVE CASES IN ALL INTERCONTINENATL FEDEERATION AND MONITORING THEM. IT IS IFBB MISTAKE IF HE WAS ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE, AND THIS MEAN THAT YOUR MEDICAL TEAM IS NOT QUALIFIED, AND IFBB DON’T FOLLOW THE DOPING RULES. ALL OF THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION MONITORING DOPING EXCEPT IFBB, ANDWHY NOT IFBB, THE ANSWER IS VEERY SIMPLE, BECAUSE IT IS A CORPORATION AND NOT FEDERATION, AND NOT REDGSTERED AS FEDERATION, AND NOT RECOGNIZED BY IOC. THEREFORE VIOLATE THE DOPING AND WADA RULES.
TO PROVE THAT IFBB IS VIOLATING THE DOPING AND NOT FOLLOWING THE WAD ANTI-DOPING RULES, PLEASE SE THE BELOW, AN EMAIL FRO MR. TONY BLINN TO RAFAEL SANTONJA TO HIDE THE BRAZILIAN ATHELTE DOPING RESULTS:

Dear Rafael,
Further to my e-mail below, I should have mentioned that, at first glance, I'd pick option #1. I believe the IFBB Anti-Doping Committee is not empowered or authorized to make decisions that are outside the IFBB Anti-Doping Rules and WADA Code. This committee, in my opinion, must only operate within the narrow confines of the aforementioned Rules and WADC. To me, this is the proper and right thing to do.
The right to a constitutional appeal directly to the IFBB President is every member's right and, to allow this to go forward is to show how well our democracy works. Only the President should have the right to reduce Santos' suspension to a period other than what's called for in the Rules.
Therefore, I would suggest the following course of action:
1. Allow the hearing decision and two-year suspension from the ADC to stand as is.
2. Send this decision to Santos via Pagnani and advise 1) that Santos should immediately appeal to the President under article 20.1 of the IFBB Constitution, and 2) that Santos should ask for leniency and a reduction to one-year as fair and just compensation for the wrongful disqualification from the finals of the World Championships.
3. Advise Pagnani and Santos that the hearing decision is to remain confidential [will not be publicly released] pending his appeal decision.
4. This will give you some time to craft a written appeal decision.
Keep in mind that a one-year suspension would run from November 6, 2008 to November 5, 2009 inclusive. In Dubai, November 4 is the Weigh-in; November 5 is the Prejudging; November 6 is the Finals. Because his suspension must end in time for the Weigh-in, you could suspend him for "one year less a day".
I really believe that the appeal process is the best way to go.
Best regards,
Tony

Dear Rafael,
Given the unique circumstances, your "exception" is most welcome.
In my opinion, may I suggest we act as follows:
OPTION #1:
Apply the WADA Code and IFBB Anti-Doping Rules, suspend Santos for two years, advise him to appeal to the IFBB President (as is his constitutional right), strike an ad hoc appeal committee, which would overturn the hearing decision and render an appeal decision to reduce the suspension to one year.
OPTION #2:
Apply the WADA Code and IFBB Anti-Doping Rules in the hearing decision, state why he cannot succeed in his petition for relief under Articles 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 (the reason why should be obvious to all and I strongly believe we shouldn't play with this), but, when it comes to the suspension part of the decision, reduce the suspension to one year based on "exceptional circumstances". Of course, we will have to state what these circumstances are in a way that is acceptable from a "justice has been done" point of view.
I don't believe WADA would agree with such a decision; however, even more important than WADA, we have to do what's in the best interests of the IFBB first and foremost. And we all seem to agree that it's not in our best interests to suspend Mr. Santos for two years.
Best regards,
Tony

Dear Members of the Anti Doping Commission:
You know that you have my full respect and trust regarding your decisions, and that I never interfere on your efficient work.
Let me make an exception in the case of Jose Carlos Santos.
I think that everybody is sharing the same feelings.
I was specially moved reminding the previous misunderstanding in the Malaysia World Championships.
I believe it would be advisable to have a shorter period of suspension with a reinstatement test, or something similar.
I leave this in your capable hands, but I wished to share with you these feelings.
Best regards,
Rafael

Dear Tony:
You open the door for personal comments and I was considering to do one but, because it was a case of a Brazilian athlete, I was restraining myself to do it.
We have here an athlete that was many time World Champion, was also tested many times without any problem, and we never had a problem with him before. As a matter of fact, he had a problem with as, because the only time that we try to eliminate the athletes with adverse analytical results from Friday to Sunday, we disqualified him improperly, based in a preliminary report of the lab, that confess later on that a mistake was made.By this mysterious thing of the life, the lab was in Thailand, and with the disqualification of José Carlos, the Thai athlete won the Gold Medal in the category.
In my opinion, it is time to pay him back the mistake that was made, and to deduct some time of his sanction, enough to permit him to compete in Dubai, and to avoid a sad ending of a great athlete. My recommendations would be, for this reasons, to give him a sanction of one 18 months what would permit him to compete in the next World Championship.
Regards

Dear colleagues,
PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL
I realize that personal feelings cannot enter into our hearing decision in the case of Jose Carlos Santos. Having said this, I must express my disappointment at hearing the news that Santos was positive. Such a great history of accomplishments -- a 6-time IFBB World Champion and Gold Medalist at the World Games. Tested negative more than 25 times.
I am remembering how we failed him at the World Championships at which he was mistakenly disqualified before the finals. I witnessed first-hand how deeply this affected him at the airport the next day. He was still in tears and appeared stunned and lost at how this could have happened. I recall feeling sad for him and ashamed at the same time because I was part of the IFBB officialdom that should have prevented it.
A sad day ... in both instances.
Tony

Dear Paul,
CONFIDENTIAL
I thank you very much for your understanding.
In a moment of inattentiveness, I clicked on your name from my e-mail address list, which is immediately below Pam's name [see image below]. Pam is a member of the IFBB Anti-Doping Committee, along with Prof. Muaricio de Arruda Campos, Prof. Dr. Eduardo H. De Rose (Medical & Doping Advisor) and Mag. Axel Bauer (Legal Advisor).
Again, thank you for your understanding. I have advised Pam of this mistake and will also advise Rafael. I will tender my resignation as Chairman of the IFBB Anti-Doping Committee.
Best regards,
Tony

I believe it would be advisable to have a shorter period of suspension with a reinstatement test, or something similar. THIS WAS IFBB PRESIDEENT RAFAEL SANTONJA STAEMENT. ( CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS MEAN?? )
YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ABOVE THAT THE IFBB PRESIDENT IS NOT HONEST, IN SPITE ALL THE TIME TALKING ABOUT IFBB SIGNATORY TO WADA, AND IF HE DOES NOT FOLLOW THIS VIATL RULES WHY HE TALKED AND DISTUBUTE THE WADA RULES IN EACH CHAMPIONSHIP, TO SUPPORT HIS POSITION !.
LAST MONTH THERE WAS ARAB CHAMPIONSHIP IN AMMAN – JORDON, AND RAFAEL SANTONJA, AND HIS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT ATEENDED THE CHAMPIONSHIP, WHICH THERE WAS NO DOPING.
HOW COME IFBB PRESDIENT DOES NOT FOLLOW WADA RULES AND ATEENDED NO DRUGS TEST CHAMPIONSHIP, AND SO MANY OF ATHELETES COLLAPSED ON THE STAGE AND IN FRONT OF HIM AND THE OTHERS SUCH AS ARAB AMBASSADORS, VIPS, AND THE SHOW WAS LIVE.
DO YOU THING THAT THE HEARING COMMITTEE WHICH I WAS A CHAIRMAN IN 2005 FOR HK ATHELETES MORE SERIOUSE THAN THIS? CAN YOU ANSWER ME IF YOU ARE REALY KNOWS ABOUT DOPING AND WADA ANTI-DOPING RULES.
FOR YOUR KIND INFORMTION, 2 OT THE AHTELTEES COLLAPSED ON THE STAGE IN FRONT OF IFBB PRESIDENT AND HIS EXECUTIVE ASSISITANT AND TRANSFERED TO THE HOSPITAL ON STRETCHERS, AND IN AN MBULANCES. IT IS A GREAT SHAME FOR YOU TO BANNED ME FOR FAIR AND JUSTICE HEARING, AND YOU AND YOUR DOPING COMMITTEE VIOLATE THE WADA RULES, IT IS REALY VERY SERIOUS MATTERS AND WADA MUST KNOW ABOUT IT.
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT:
1. YOU CAN'T THREATENED ME BY WRIRING SUCH PROLONG LETTER.
2. YOU ARE NOT IN POSITION TO WRITE TO ME, BECAUSE THERE IS NO IFBB FEDERATION, AND RECOGNIZED BY IOC.
3. 1st YOU AND YOUR CORPORATION WHICH CALLED IFBB FOLLOW THE WADA RULES THEN PUNISH THE OTHERS.
4. WHO WILL PUNISH YOU OR BAN YOU AND YOUR CORPORATION BY VIOLATING THE WADA ANTI-DOPING RULES.
5. WHY IFFB PRESIDENT ATTENDED NO DOPING TEST CHAMPIONSHIP IN AMMAN. AND WHAT ACTION HE HAD TAKEN TO PREVENT THE EHTELETES COLLAPSE ON THE STAGE. NOTHING.
6. WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE IF THOSE 2 WAS NOW IN THE GRAVES, BUT THANKS GOD, THEY ARE ALIVE.
7. WHY IFBB DON'T DO TEST FOR THE TOP 3 IN EACH CATEGORY??
THE ONE TO BE BANNED NOT ME BUT:
YOUR CORPORATION WHICH CALLED IFBB BY VIOLATING THE WADA RULES AS I MENTIONED ABOVE?
· YOUR MEDICAL COMMITTEE WHICH THEY DON'T
· RAFAEL SANTONJA – IFBB PRESIDNT FOR HIS SERIOUS DOPING AND BY PASS THE RULES.
· EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE IFBB PRESIDENT, AND AT THE SME TIME PRESIDENT OF ARAB BODYBUILDING FEDERATION, BY NOT FOLLOWING WADA RULES , BY NOT DOING DOPING TEST IN ARAB CHAMPIONSHIP, AND NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.
· IFBB MEDICAL COMMITTEE, BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO COLLECT THE SAMPLES.
· YOU BY HIDING THE DOPING RESULTS.
· YOU FOR YOUR THREATENING LETTERS TO ASIAN FEDERATIONS.
· WHO ELSE YOU WANT TO BAN, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TAKE ANY ACTION, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE MOST CORRUPT FEDERATION.
· IF ANY ONE ASK YOU ( IFBB ) QUESTION, THEN YOU WILL BANNED HIM, IT IS VERY STRANGE FOR A SPORT ORGANIZATION LIKE IFBB CORPORATION TO TAKE SUCH AN ILLEGAL ACTION.
· FOR YOUR SILENT NOT TO RESPOND TO ALL ASIAN NATIONS.
· YOU FOR HIDING THE IFBB ACCOUNT STATEMENT.
· IFBB FOR CHEATING AND HIDING THE DOPING RESULTS.
WHO WILL BAN IFBB CORPORATION?
?? FOR THIER SERIOUS DOPING VIOLATION, AND THREATENING OTHERS, AND FOR THEIR SILENT. CAN YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION?
I AM SORY TO TELL THAT I DON'T ACCEPT YOUR DECISION, BECUASE IFBB IS NOT REGISTERED AND RECOGNIZED BY INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE ( IOC ), AND IT IS CORPORATION, NON-PROFIT COMPANY.
MY LAST QUESTION WHY YOUR PRESIDENT IS SILENT AND NOT REPLYING THE LETTERS WHICH WERE SEND FROM ASIAN NATIONS. WHERE IS THE DOMOCRATCY IN YOUR CORPORATION?
