This from Tom Prince:
QUOTE:
"When David Pecker and AMI bought Weider Publishing, they also purchased the IFBB and the Mr. Olympia. Apparently, Ben Weider doesn't see it that way, or is having a hard time dealing with reality.
David Pecker and Wayne Demilia, along with Jim Lorimer and Arnold, are starting a new bodybuilding federation to get out from under the Weider's.
These talks are very recent, and obviously, are in the early stages of discussion and planning. But, I think it's interesting, and could be very good for bodybuilding. Ben Weider is so old and out of touch, that he has no clue as to what's going on in the IFBB".

This could mean the demise of the IFBB.

Tim, All that has been made public about this matter has been made so by a person not involved.
That immediately places the info at the second hand level of reliability.

Joe, After the initial shock of the statement by Prionce ,and reading Shawn`s response to it on Iron Age ,I kind of saw it in a different light.
I`ll just sit back and see what transpires.
