la scissione

Ma con la rottura tra la IFBB e la IFBB PRO LEAGUE, l’arnold Classic Ohio 2018, non è una gara riconosciuta dalla IFBB international, e di conseguenza, tutti gli atleti tesserati ifbb che vorranno gareggiare in questa manifestazione saranno squalificati.

una gara open di qualificazione per il professionismo

L’arnold classic amateur Ohio 2018, sarà una gara completamente nuova, infatti sarà una manifestazione open, ovvero aperta a tutti gli atleti del mondo che vorranno gareggiare a Columbus.

il messaggio della IFBB internationals

La dirigenza ifbb international ha diramato il seguente comunicato stampa in per quanto riguarda l’Arnold Classic Amateur Ohio 2018.

The Bodybuilding events to be held in Columbus (next March 1-4, 2018) and Australia (next March 16-18, 2018) are NOT IFBB sanctioned events.

Both events are organized by an IFBB suspended organization, due to breach of International Sport Regulations and serious violations of the World Anti-Doping Code.

The participation in any of these non-sanctionned events will carry a re-installment process, accordingly to article 19.4.7 of the IFBB Constitution, without prejudice of additional disciplinary measures that may be adopted by National Federations.

Article 19.4.7 of the IFBB Constitution:

19.4.7 . Any athlete or official who participates in a competition or event not approved or sanctioned by the IFBB, may be fined, suspended or expelled. The amount of the fine as well as the suspension period will be decided by the IFBB Disciplinary Commission, within the maximum limit as established by the Executive Council. Once the suspension has been completed and before participating in an IFBB competition or event, the athlete must be drug tested at his or her own expenses.
In special circumstances, the IFBB Disciplinary Commission may recommend to the Executive Council the expulsion of the athlete or the official. Participation shall include, but shall not be limited to, competing, guest posing, giving a seminar, lecture or similar presentation, judging, officiating, allowing the use of one’s name and/or likeness for promotional purposes, and/or taking part in a non-IFBB sanctioned competition or event in any other way, shape, or form.
All athletes must remember the IFBB Pro League is a totally different federation now. It has no relation to the IFBB since the last 2 months of 2017 onwards.
