    Re: The 2004 Jan Tana Classic / Masters Mr. Olympia

    I am sure that you have heard that the IFBB is currently undergoing some major changes in their organization. Wayne DeMilia is no longer associated with the IFBB and soon there will be other organizational announcements to outline the new structure. I am confident that the changes will be positive for the sport, however the timing of these changes will effect the 2004 Jan Tana Classic / Master's Mr. Olympia.

    The Jan Tana Classic is only a few short months away and unfortunately there is several factors that are not clearly identified which will directly affect this year's event. Due to this current situation, the scheduled 2004 Jan Tana Classic / Master's Mr. Olympia will be cancelled.
