Should bodybuilders with criminal records allowed to be a pro?

[Caro]

As with many professional organisations, if one possesses a criminal record they are not permitted membership.

Should the same standard apply to the IFBB ?  -Discuss.

Lol, I thought you had one foot out the door?

Should those with criminal records be allowed to hold office in the IFBB?

Does Victor still post here?

The strength of an organisation is built around honesty and integrity.

Hence, in my personal view, criminal record checks should be made mandatory for those seeking a Pro Card.

A sport where being the best involves how consistently you lift weights and how many illegal drugs you inject, and you're worried about criminal records?

Derpity derp derp.

you're still here?

why wouldn't they be allowed a membership?

you can be a Nurse, Doctor, CPA, Stock Broker, Financial Advisor, Mortgage Broker, Real Estate Agent, Real Estate Broker, ect.... with a criminal record. So, it's FAR from a 'standard'.

And, the IFBB was/is built on possession, distribution, and use of controlled substances.

98% of the IFBB is at risk of being charged at any given time with possession, possession with intent, distribution, inter-state transport, or manufacturing of any number of drugs from steroids, to pain killers, to amphetamines, to non-scheduled aux drugs.

and the organization makes money from members paying yearly dues. ban the member, and you lose his yearly dues.

I believe that organisations should never remain static.

Having good governance, checks and balances only enhances an organisation.

The IFBB should always be striving to evolve for the better -and making it mandatory to conduct 'criminal record checks' may be a positive move forward?

We have a big problem in Australia. The guy handing out pro cards has a criminal record. What do you suggest then?

[Caro]

I have never been a defender of the status quo.  Organisations like the IFBB should continue to strive for positive change.

Criminal checks would only be a step forward...right?

Wrong.

BB = sport built around its "athletes" engaging in criminal activity. Your entire premise is retarded.

Why am I even replying to this fucking troll.

well, do you consider that ppl who run the fucking organization might have criminal records?

if you don't like it, join the IFPA or WBFF or whatever.

one things for sure, since you're not allowed to live within 500 feet of a public park, the ifbb should be the least of your concerns. (thank you Megan's law)

[Vince B]

Vince I am in charge of Pro cards and I do not have a criminal record.

Tony, you are one of the good guys. Was referring to the guy in Sydney who is mates with Arnold.

I was at a contest there when he handed out Luke Wood's pro card.

Vince, that all changed a few years ago when Jim Manion appointed me as Pro rep for Australia. Now we have a pro qualifier every year with FitX.

Wooow , link?

Do Pros with criminal records bring the sport into ill repute?

It is my belief that, a discredited individual does effect the integrity of any organisation (eg) It brings to the fore issues of trust/lack of etc.

What, no election for the position? How did Paul feel about this? Jim made a good decision, I think.

Bah! Doom disapproves!

Yes, while 100% of the pros use illegal substances.

By your logic, every pro would not be allowed to compete in the IFBB.
