This may not mean much to those of you in the United States but I can only assume it as an effect on those of you in Canada. Mark Smishek President of the Canadian Bodybuilding Federation issued the following letter:
For the past week rumors have been flowing and certain individuals have been attacking the recent decision of the Canadian Bodybuilding Federation (CBBF) to no longer recognize the Ontario Physique Association (OPA) as the CBBF affiliate in Ontario.
We do not normally respond to rumors, as all this does is open doors for more and more negativity as well as provide a forum for those who have no recourse but to attack. However, in this case we feel that we must set the record straight.
After numerous unsuccessful attempts over the last several years to work with the OPA, the CBBF Executive Committee has concluded that the policies and direction of the OPA were ineffective and unable to adequately respond to the market realities in the province of Ontario.
