1991.SOCIALIST BODYBUILDING NEWS.

LITHUANIA BODYBUILDERS LEAVE U.S.S.R. FEDERATION.

Since 1971 until 1998 the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation was the sole International Bodybuilding Federation to represent official recognized sport. Then bodybuilding still was a sport. Since 1989 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was negotiating with his friend I.F.B.B.  President BEN WEIDER. Among other questions both negotiated about the membership of the Lithuania National Bodybuilding Federation in the I.F.B.B.. The membership should be not as a part оf the “U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation” («Федерация культуризма С.С.С.Р.») but as an Independent member. That meant that the I.F.B.B. should recognize the Independent Republic Lithuania. In February 1991 there was referendum to separate with the U.S.S.R. held in Lithuania. 85 percent of citizen said “yes”.

During the process DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS through his fiend German (F.R.G, Federal Republic of Germany) GERHARD HUNGE paid the I.F.B.B. membership fee for Lithuania federation. Other way transaction was not possible as all international transactions were controlled by the bank of the U.S.S.R.. After this DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS sent official request to join the I.F.B.B. federation. In addition to this in order to prove the Country Independence  DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS translated the Constitution of the Republic Lithuania from Lithuanian to English language and sent it to Canada for BEN WEIDER.

This way since 1989 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS had meetings with BEN WEIDER in Moscow and Leningrad (U.S.S.R.), Paris (France), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and New York (USA). Finally after the 1990 “Miss Olympia” BEN WEIDER refused to recognize the Independent Republic Lithuania. He was on Moscow side. Lithuanians were not allowed to join the I.F.B.B.. BEN WEIDER was a businessman and he wanted to make business with the U.S.S.R.. Vice President of the U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation and President of the Bodybuilding Federation of Lithuanian SSR ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS did not support ideas and intentions of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Even more - after proclaiming the Independent Republic Lithuania ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS joined the new Lithuania Communist Party of Mykolas Burokevichus. As it was during the fierce prohibition of bodybuilding in 1978, now DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was left alone again. Nobody of bodybuilders dared to support him and to stand against the U.S.S.R..

At the same time many of Lithuania bodybuilders supported the National Olympic Committee of the Independent Republic Lithuania and refused to participate in the official U.S.S.R. contests and to join the National teams of the U.S.S.R.. Having no International competitions many famous bodybuilders left sport. For example best U.S.S.R. bodybuilder Lithuanian VIKTORAS JUCYS.

At that time a number of best Lithuania bodybuilders were pupils of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. They were - NATALIJA MURNIKOVIENE, EDMUNDAS REPSYS, VADIM SRYVKIN (Вадим Срывкин), RIMANTAS MAZIONIS.

Athletes needed contests and DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS found the way. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS wrote letters to the N.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association) Chairman OSCAR HEIDENSTAM and W.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association) Owner and President SERGE NUBRET. Both invited Lithuania bodybuilders to their contests: 1991 N.A.B.B.A. Europe Championship in Epinal (France) and 1991 W.A.B.B.A. World Championship in Japan.

I.F.B.B. PRESIDENT VISITS LITHUANIA.

WEIDER DID NOT SUPPORT INDEPENDENT LITHUANIA.

In March, 1991 I.F.B.B. President BEN WEIDER visited capital of the Independent Republic Lithuania Vilnius. Some months ago during meetings with DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS he refused to recognize Independent Lithuania and remained on the U.S.S.R. side. At the same time he wrote a letter to DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS asking to arrange his meetings with the Officials of the Republic Lithuania. On the way to Moscow BEN WEIDER planned to visit Lithuania. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS refused to assist him as BEN WEIDER did not change his position towards Lithuania Independence. He explained that Lithuanians will look other International Organizations to participate at the International Contests. BEN WEIDER asked not to be in a hurry but DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  said Lithuanians are waiting I.F.B.B. membership already three years.

So DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was not with BEN VEIDER during his visit to Vilnius. There was official meeting of BEN WEIDER with the Chairman Parliament Republic Lithuania VYTAUTAS LANDSBERGIS. President of the Lithuania Olympic Committee ARTURAS POVILIUNAS and his assistant KAZIMIERAS MOTIEKA were present at the meeting too. Also Vice President of the “U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation” («Федерация культуризма С.С.С.Р.») and President of the Bodybuilding Federation of the Lithuanian SSR ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS was at the meeting as well.  BEN WEIDER visited Parliament, presented Diploma of Honour to VYTAUTAS LANDSBERGIS, had meetings with Lithuanian bodybuilders. Anyway, BEN WEIDER remained on the same position - at that time he did not recognize Independent Republic Lithuania and supported the U.S.S.R..

“WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA”. BOOK THREE.

PREAMBLE.

Third book of the “World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia” («Энциклопедия мирового культуризма», “Pasaulio kultūrizmo enciklopedijos”) will cover period of timer since 1992 until today. As You know - in 1991 Socialist system was ruined and the World started new history. After Lithuania restored it’s independence in 1991 nothing serious happened in the country with other bodybuilding organizations but the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation). Only W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. did many great unique International works which we will cover later. Due to the activities of the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) and N.P.C. (National Phisyque Committee) bodybuilding is no more sport today. In the third part of encyclopedia we will tell about who, how and why ruined bodybuilding sport. Hard work done through decades was finished. There are certain guilty names. Today bodybuilding in not recognized by any International Sport Organization - I.O.C. (International Olympic Committee), G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations) and W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency).

In 1998 I.O.C. threw away the I.F.B.B. federation and refused to recognize bodybuilding as sport. No Governments finance bodybuilding anymore. After 1998 National Bodybuilding Federations of former Socialist Countries cheated their Ministries of Sport and went on receiving governmental money. The same did a number of Asia Bodybuilding Federations which traditionally from F.I.H.C. (Federation Internationale Halterophile et Culturisme) times were under the National Weightlifting Federations. After 1998 I.F.B.B. federations were hiding themselves behind membership in the G.A.I.S.F., but in 2023 G.A.I.S.F. was closed and in 2023 W.A.D.A. stopped working with I.F.B.B..

Today W.F.F. - International opens new page in sport history. We declare a new federation totally without doping and this was we seek Olympic recognition.

In 2020 pandemia and later war in Ukraine stopped great W.F.F. -  International projects in France, India and Switzerland. We hope to fulfill them in the nearest future. In 2025 W.F.F. goes on developing new plans. In 2025 we will communicate with National Olympic Committees, Ministries of Sport and W.A.D.A. departments in various countries.

In 2005 we separated bodybuilding and fitness under advice of the Director of Law Department of the Parliament Republic Lithuania KESTUTIS VIRKETIS.  Then along with the W.F.F. - International a new World Bodybuilding Federation (W.B.B.F.) was registered in Lithuania.

No secret - all bodybuilding federations are on doping. Today W.F.F. - International presents new concept of totally non doping fitness sport with new categories. W.F.F. - International will go on seeking Olympic recognition.

Uniting members of 141 Countries around the World W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International congratulates the LEO XIV -th. God bless Him!
