A new amendment is to be submitted to the IFBB asking the athletes be allowed to appear on behalf of companies they represent and/ or as individuals as IFBB athletes. The current amendment disallows IFBB athletes from making appearances unless the events are sponsored by or authorized by the IFBB. Do you think Bob Cicherillo, the IFBB atheletes representative wil be successful?

The current amendment disallows IFBB athletes from making appearances unless the events are sponsored by or authorized by the IFBB. Do you think Bob Cicherillo, the IFBB atheletes representative wil be successful? Here is a snippet of the proposal: AMENDMENT OF SECT 1.7
Amendment of section 1.7 of the IFBB Pro League rules. Athletes WILL be allowed to make appearances on behalf of companies they represent and/ or as individuals to: (including but not limited to) non –sanctioned events, expo’s, guest posing, appearances, seminars, openings, etc. As IFBB athletes are listed as “independent contractors” by our own IFBB by laws and therefore cannot be limited in their ability to make a living from being a professional.
Athlete would be required to be a IFBB athlete in good standing, and any and all promotional items, advertisements, etc linked to said event(s) would require that athlete be billed and represented as an IFBB athlete. |
