Lee, think about it bro - if you 'subtly' let them know that you have nor problems taking them to court, they will be FORCED to realize that court isn't the best option, no, court ISN'T an option. Threaten them Lee, like they've threatened you. Let them know (again, subtly) that if THEY ruin your career, you can ruin their FEDERATION... again, indirectly.
I'm sure Lee is on top of that. And I'm sure he's retained someone already, who as we speak is writing down in his notebook that the IFBB has not yet made any attempt to tell Lee he is no longer welcome (read: bad faith). Given the arbitrary enforcement of many of the rules, I don't think Lee should be expected to assume he's "out". Of course, Lee cannot sue for any damages related to his "prep", just his time.
Odd that Wayne hasn't tried to hurt the IFBB, assuming they are, in fact, not the non-profit organization they claim to be. He would certainly be in the know if they were making a profit somewhere...
Lee, I'm sure that those on the inside are chastizing you for taking this matter outside "the family", but in my family, my father provided for us, he didn't exploit us, so don't let it get to you.
