PASAULIO KULTŪRIZMO ENCIKLOPEDIJA.

KAS YRA N.A.B.B.A.? DAROME IŠVADAS.

N.A.B.B.A. ASOCIACIJOS ISTORIJA.

Pamažu rengiant medžiagą trečiam “Pasaulinės kultūrizmo enciklopedijos” (“World Boybuilding Encyclopedia”, «Энциклопедии всемирного культуризма») tomui, tęsiame tarptautinių kultūrizmo organizacijų istorijos aprašymus. Iki žlungant Socialisteinei sistemai, buvo paprasta - I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) nuo 1971 iki 1998 metų atstovavo oficialiai pripažintą sportą, o N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association) nuo 1950 metų reprezentavo niekieno niekad oficialiai nepripažintą kultūrizmą. Artimiausiu metu atskirais prieštaringais straipsniais pakalbėsime ir apie N.A.B.B.A. asociaciją. Sužinosite, ko net nenumanėte...

N.A.B.B.A. ASOCIACIJOS PRADŽIA.

BOBAS HOFMANAS ATVEŽĖ KULTŪRIZMĄ Į LONDONĄ.

Nuo 1947 iki 1969 metų oficialiam pasaulio kultūrizmo sportui vadovavo tarptautinė federacija F.I.H.C. (Federation Internationale Halterophile et Culturiste), kuri buvo Olimpinio komiteto (I.O.C., International Olympic Committee) narė. Didžia dalimi amerikiečio BOBO HOFMANO (Robert Collins Hoffman, 1898 - 1985 m.) dėka 1947 metais F.I.H.C. JAV surengė pirmą kultūrizmo “Universe” turnyrą. 1948 metais, pritariant I.O.C., vėl BOBO HOFMANO dėka Londone vykusių Olimpinių žaidynių metu buvo surengtas antrasis F.I.H.C. “Universe” turnyras. Be BOBO HOFMANO 1948 metais F.I.H.C. turnyro organizatoriais buvo B.A.W.L.A. (British Amateur Weight Lifting Association) ir vietinio žurnalo “Health and Strengh” redakcija. Įkvėpti F.I.H.C. veiklos, britai 1950 metais įsteigė N.A.B.B.A. asocioaciją (pavadinimą kopijavo iš B.A.W.L.A.) ir organizavo pirmą jau savo “Universe” turnyrą. Vis tiek, iki F.I.H.C. 1969 metais nutraukus vadovavimą oficialiam pasaulio kultūrizmo sportui, N.A.B.B.A. ir privati .I.F.B.B. komercinė firma niekaip negalėjo pretenduoti į oficialų pripažinima ir liko “už borto”...

PRABĖGOM PER N.A.B.B.A..

Federacijoje kas svarbiau - sportininkai ar vadovai ir organizatoriai? Aišku, vieni be kitų yra beraikšmiai. Tačiau mes daugiau akcentuojame federacijų vadovus, nes tie patys sportininkai beveik tuo pačiu metu laisvai dalyvauja įvairiose federacijose ir todėl negali būti konkrečiu federacijos veidu.

BOBO HOFMANO F.I.H.C. ir A.A.U. (Amateur Athletes Union) amerikiečiai ilgus metus dominavo N.A.B.B.A. “Mr. Universe” varžybose. Dar ilgai BOBO HOFMANO dėka JAV kultūristai kasmet vyko į N.A.B.B.A. “Mr. Universe” turnyrą ir niekas iš europiečių jiems negalėjo priešintis - amerikiečiams nebuvo lygių. Pagrindinė priežastis - amerikiečiai per sunkiąją atletiką pirmieji įsisavino steroidus ir juos puikiai panaudojo praktikoje.

Praėjusio šimtmečio devintame dešimtmetyje britas OSKARAS HAIDENSTAMAS (Oscar Heidenstam) tapo ryškiu N.A.B.B.A. asociacijos lyderiu ir vadovu. Būtent tuo metu Dr.EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS pradėjo su juo susirašinėti, keistis informacija. Baigiantis 1990 metams bendraujant su Dr. EDMUNDU DAUBARU Niu Jorke (JAV), I.F.B.B. prezidentas BENAS WEIDERIS (Ben Weider) atsisakė palaikyti Lietuvos Respublikos Nepriklausomybę. BENAS VEIDERIS atsisakė, apeinant T.S.R.S. sporto minsteriją (“U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport”), Lietuvos kultūristus priimti į savo federaciją, todėl Dr. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS nusprendė su geriausiais šalies kultūristais dalyvauti N.A.B.B.A. asociacijos veikloje.

Viskas atrodė be galo optimistiška - pirmyn į laisvę... Tuo metu žinios apie tarptautines kultūrizmo organizacijas buvo nulinės ir jas teko per du dešimtmečius tiesiog jėga traukti iš tų organizacijų vadovų. Kaip pasirodė - tose tarptautinėse organizacijose buvo ir iki šiol tebėra taug tuštumos ir melo. Tiesiog mes esame vienintėliai, kuria sako tiesą apie minėtas organizacijas.

Taip lietuviai pateko į 1991 metų N.A.B.B.A. Europos čempionatą Epinalyje (Prancūzija), kur klaipėdietė NATALIJA MURNIKOVIENĖ ir šiaulietis ROLANDAS BUČINSKAS tapo pirmais Nepriklausomos Lietuvos sporto istorijoje Europos čempionais. Tuo metu kita, ROMANO KALINAUSKO vadovaujama, Lietuvos TSR kultūrizmo federacija toliau dainavo dainas T.S.R.S. ir apie Nepriklausomos Lietuvos Respublikos Nepriklausomybės palaikymą net minčių neturėjo.

N.A.B.B.A. VIENA, O N.A.B.B.A. PREZIDENTAI TRYS.

1991 metais po OSKARO HAIDENSTAMO mirties N.A.B.B.A. asociacijai beveik du dešimtmečius vadovavo AIVANAS DANBARAS (Ivan Dunbar). Jis buvo ištikimas N.A.B.B.A. organizacijai, tačiau vadovas nebuvo stiprus. Būtent dėl tos priežasties 1999 metais atsitiko tai, kad vienu metu N.A.B.B.A. asociacijai ėmė vadovauti trys “N.A.B.B.A. prezidentai” - AIVANAS DANBARAS, vokietis KLAUSAS HOFMANAS (Klaus P.J. Hoffmann) ir australas DŽO LOPESAS (Joe Lopez). Įdomu buvo stebėti, kai visi trys prezidentai tarpusavyje varžėsi, kuris pirmas iš nacionalinių federacijų vadovų paims metinį nario mokestį. Kai reikėjo antspauduoti komandiruotes bei varžybų protokolus (Lietuvos Respublikos N.A.B.B.A., Lietuvos Nacionalinė Kultūrizmo Asociacija, buvo oficialiai registruota ir į varžybas vykdavo kaip į komandiruotę), N.A.B.B.A. vadovai išsisukinėjo. “Prirėmus AIVANĄ DANVARĄ prie sienos”, pasirodė - N.A.B.B.A. registruota kaip visuomeninis klubas ir “N.A.B.B.A. asociacijos” realiai tokios nebuvo. Taip tęsėsi, kol Rusijos Federacijos N.A.B.B.A. atstovai nepadovanojo N.A.B.B.A. vadovams nelegaliai pagamintą netikrą antspaudą. Reikalai susitvarkė... Trys N.A.B.B.A. prezidentai nuolatos tarpusavyje varžėsi ir dažnai kiekvienas jų ppraše Dr. EDMUNDO DAUBARO palaikymo prieš kitus.

N.A.B.B.A. SKANDALINGAI SKILO. DVI N.A.B.B.O.S..

Baigiantis dvidešimtam šimtmečiui N.A.B.B.A. organizacijoje aktyviai reiškėsi australas DŽO LOPESAS. Jis siekė būti vienvaldžiu N.A.B.B.A. lyderiu ir dažnai konfliktavo su vokiečiu KLAUSU HOFMANU bei airiu AIVANU DANBARU. 1999 metų N.A.B.B.A. pasaulio čempionatas vyko Austrijoje. Čempionato metu buvo organizuotas tarptautinis kongresas. Prie įtampos tarp N.A.B.B.A. vadovų prisidėjo dar ir tai, kad N.A.B.B.A. iždininkas TONIS SALIVANAS (Tony Sullyvan) pasisavino N.A.B.B.A. iždą ir pasislėpė. Kalbėti dėl konfliktinės situacijos KLAUSAS HOFMANAS ir AIVANAS DANBARAS nedrįso, todėl paprašė Dr. EDMUNDO DAUBARO N.A.B.B.A. nariams paaiškinti susidariusią situaciją. Dr. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS dažnai N.A.B.B.A. kongresuose kalbėdavo valandų valandas, todėl nesunkiai tai padarė ir šį kartą. Kilusios sumaišties metu australas DŽO LOPESAS pareiškė, kad jis su eile N.A.B.B.A. šalių - narių palieka Anglijos N.A.B.B.A. ir steigia savąją “N.A.B.B.A. International”. Per sekančius kelis metus nauja “N.A.B.B.A. International” Ispanijoje spėjo organizuoti keletą N.A.B.B.A. “Mr. Universe” turnyrų, kol DŽO LOPESAS buvo apkaltintas narkotikų kontrabanda ir sulaukė teismo. Taip “N.A.B.B.A. International” gana greitai užbaigė savo “garbingą” istoriją.

KAS YRA N.A.B.B.A.? DAROME IŠVADAS.

Po OSKARO HAIDENSTAMO (Oscar Heidenstam) mirties 1991 metais tarp N.A.B.B.A. organizacijos vadovų nebuvo nė vienos ryškios asmenybės. N.A.B.B.A. niekados neturėjo ambicingų tiklų, kažkokių siekų į ateitį. Tiesiog plaukiojo savo vandenėlyje, trepsėjo ir dabar trepsi vienoje vietoje ir tik tiek.

Pradėjusi savo kelią kaip oficialiai nepripažinta kultūrizmo organizacija, tarptautinė N.A.B.B.A. struktūra iki šiol tokia ir išlieka. Tačiau - iš kelių dešimčių šiandien egzistuojančių tarptautinių kultūrizmo federacijų N.A.B.B.A. yra liudijanti garbingiausią ilgą sporto istoriją organizacija. 1998 metais Tarptautiniam Olimpiniam Komitetui (International Olympic Committee, I.O.C.) atsisakius remti kultūrizmo soportą ir triukšmingai pašalinus iš pretendentų į sportą I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federaciją, o dar ir 2023 metais užsidarius G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations) organizacijai, šiandien N.A.B.B.A. juridine prasme susilygino su I.F.B.B. federacija. Aišku, I.F.B.B., dėka buvusių socialistinių šalių sporto ministerijų abejingumo kultūrizmui, vis dar žaidžia “oficialumo žaidimus”, tačiau greitai valdininkais susivoks apgaunami ir savo klaidas ištaisys. Apie kitas gausiais tarptautines  “zuikių” federacijas geriau net nekalbėti. Kam jos reikalingos, kokie jų tikslai? Kur jos veda? Tiesiog chaosas kultūristų smegenyse, vaikų žaidimai.

BODYBUILDING CIRCUS AROUND THE WORLD.

LOTS OF MICKEY-MOUSE FEDERATIONS.

WE SPEAK WITH ATHLETES.

Forty years ago we were explaining athletes about official sport and about the BASIC questions of various federations. This is ABC of every athlete. Do not be dreamers and learn real matters. As we see many do not like the truth. Sportsmen waist their time, energy, money. They are glad about their “great” achievements at competitions. But - this result for official sport is ZERO. Find yourselves who is guilty  - maybe your leaders, maybe trainers, maybe somebody else.

STEP ONE. INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION.

We do not want to offend anybody. All of today working forty International bodybuilding federations play zero role in official recognized sport. That are “mickey - mouse” federations. Just ZERO. Official International Sport organizations do not recognize a single one of them. Let us speak about some of those “federations”. What do You know about Your federation? Since 1990 we came inside of many International Bodybuilding Organizations. Step by step we learned about their zero value in sport. Athletes were cheated and still are cheated.

I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders)

Due to efforts of American BOB HOFFMAN (Robert Collins Hoffman, 1898 – 1985) since 1947 until 1969 World’s official bodybuilding sport was ruled by a member of the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) International F.I.H.C. (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste) federation.

In 1970 general secretary of F.I.H.C. British OSCAR STATE (Oscar State, Obe, 1911-1984) during Belgrade (Yugoslavia) Congress created the I.F.B.B. sport federation. Until that time I.F.B.B. was a private company and played zero role in official sport. Again due to the efforts of OSCAR STATE in 1971 I.F.B.B. became a member of G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations) and ruled World’s official bodybuilding sport until 1998.

In 1998 after two years trial I.F.B.B. was thrown out of the I.O.C.. Since that time bodybuilding is no more sport. Only former Communist Countries and several Asia Countries still recognize and finance National I.F.B.B. federations. Full article about the I.F.B.B. You can find on International Site www.wff.lt

N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association).

After long correspondence with N.A.B.B.A. Chairman OSCAR HEIDENSTAM we were working with N.A.B.B.A. since 1991 until 2005. After some time N.A.B.B.A. Chairman IVAN DUNBAR informed us that N.A.B.B.A. is not an association of federation - it is by law a public club. How officially registered in Lithuania Republic sport federation can be a member of a public club? Sounds childish… After death of OSCAR HEIDENSTAM in 1991 until now N.A.B.B.A. had no another leader like him. Full article about N.A.B.B.A. is already published on International Site www.wff.lt

W.F.F. (World Fitness Federation).

In 1995 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, German KLAUS HOFFMANN (Klaus P.J.Hoffmann), Austrian PETER PAPULA, Greek ANARGIROS TSOPOURIDIS came to Germany where they established World Fitness Federation (W.F.F. - International). Power zones were set up - KLAUS HOFFMANN took the leadership on the “Western” countries and DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS went on leading “East” countries. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  brought former socialist countries in the game. Supported by the Government Republic Lithuania in 1996, 1997, 1998 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS organized European Championships in Klaipeda, Vilnius and Palanga. At that time there was no official registration of the W.F.F. federation - somehow KLAUS HOFFMANN was against it. The situation did not satisfy us. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was closely working with the Ministry of Sport of the Lithuanian Republic. According the law we needed official registration. Virtual W.F.F. was nothing. Then in 1998 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS registered official W.F.F. federation and organized the 1998 W.F.F. World Championship in Palanga (Lithuanian Republic). The championship was supported and financed by the Government Republic Lithuania. It was televised by “Eurosport” television. Step by step KLAUS HOFFMANN left the W.F.F. federation. In 2003 he told he can not organize International contests any more. Uniting both parts of the federation the full power of W.F.F. went to DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Exceptional prestige of W.F.F. rose up after tremendous 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 W.F.F. World Championships which were held in Vilnius and Klaipeda (Lithuanian Republic). For example - at 2005 W.F.F. World Championship in Vilnius participated 742 athletes from 42 countries. Lithuania Parliament voted to finance 2008 W.F.F. Event in Klaipeda through the separate line in the Budget of the Republic Lithuania. All above mentioned championships were supported and financed by the Government Republic Lithuania. Seeing great growth of the W.F.F. federation KLAUS HOFFMANN stopped connection with the federation and in 2005 registered his own W.F.F. federation in Germany. This federation was closed in 2013.

GAMES OF GRAEME LANCEFIELD.

Several years ago appeared Australian GRAEME LANCEFIELD who was unknown to the International Sport Society. GRAEME LANCEFIELD used the name of W.F.F., our W.F.F. history (working since 1968, “Amber Prix International”, etc.). When we wrote that we will address the International Court, then GRAEME LANCEFIELD stopped using traditional W.F.F. history. But he uses W.F.F. name anyway. Still it is not clear if W.F.F. of GRAEME LANCEFIELD egzists by law or it is only his private games. Anyway there are many not educated athletes who do not know our sport history and who do not know anything about W.F.F. federation. This way GRAEME LANCEFIELD can play his games. Detailed articles about W.F.F. federation will be published in the third part of the “World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia” soon. Look for the information on International Site www.wff.lt .

N.A.C. (National Athletic Committee)

When in 2000 KLAUS HOFFMANN stopped working properly with W.F.F. federation in Germany, several people left German W.F.F. an then appeared N.A.C.. N.A..C. is National German organization. No official International or National Institutions recognize and support N.A.C.. N.A.C. has nothing to do with official sport. Working more that twenty years N.A.C. did nothing noticeable for our sport. All N.A..C. events were made in Europe only. Outside Europe nobody even heard of N.A..C.. Maybe somebody can say what are aims of N.A.C.??? In 2005 in Italy Chairmen N.A.C. addressed President W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International (World Fitness Federation, World Bodybuilding Federation) DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. They wanted to cooperate activities. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS refused - there was no future and no sense in that.

N.P.C. (National Physique Committee)

For many decades amateur bodybuilding in USA was ruled by A.A.U. (Amateur Ayhletic Union). Established in 1888 A.A.U. was a member of the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.). In the USA even a member of G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations) I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders), federation could not fight against N.P.C.. Remember, in 1970 F.I.H.C. (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste)  General Secretary OSCAR STATE in Belgrade (Yugoslavia) created the I.F.B.B. sport federation. Until that time I.F.B.B. was a private company. Finally after discussion with I.F.B.B. President BEN WEIDER a member of A.A.U. JIM MANION left A.A.U. and established N.P.C. in 1983. This way N.P.C. escaped of doping control too. JIM MANION agreed with WEIDER brothers JOE and BEN this way - all World Amateur bodybuilding was ruled by I.F.B.B. of BEN WEIDER and Amateur bodybuilding in USA was ruled by N.P.C. of JIM MANION. At the same time N.P.C. was representing I.F.B.B. in USA. Professional bodybuilding was under JOE WEIDER. N.P.C. had been never recognized by any Official International Sport Organization. In 2015 after death of WEIDER brothers previous agreement had no more power and N.P.C. left the I.F.B.B. of Spanish RAFAEL SANTONJA. RAFAEL SANTONJA was thrown out of America and never appeared there any more. Fighting for money at the moment N.P.C. with it’s contests goes aggressively around the World pushing I.F.B.B. of RAFAEL SANTONJA out of the game.

W.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association).

Several years athletes of Lithuanian Republic participated at W.A.B.B.A. competitions. Lithuanians never organized a single W.A.B.B.A.  contest in the country. Collecting 2-3 athletes of other National federations W.A.B.B.A.  organizers used to go abroad to compete. In general there were no results in this activities.

W.A.B.B.A.  appeared in 1976 after in 1975 I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) President BEN WEIDER because of sexual affairs threw away from his federation his Vice President and famous France bodybuilder SERGE NUBRET. Having no knowledge about International Sport requirements SERGE NUBRET registered only name and logo of W.A.B.B.A.. Nothing was serious and official. Our last information of W.A.B.B.A. is that it belongs to a protein shop of French FABIAN DE BECK. In fact in 1975 it was the first time I.F.B.B. was split and divided. SERGE NUBRET took out of I.F.B.B. a number of National Presidents and Athletes from Asia and Africa countries.

OTHER FEDERATIONS

Looking through 100 years history of bodybuilding we can make some conclusions.

During the last century several decades World was divided into Capitalist (Western) and Socialist (Eastern) parts. Both parts were separated by the “Iron Wall” and did not communicate in between anyway. Bodybuilders of both parts did not communicate too. Also have in mind that bodybuilding was prohibited in the Socialist World since 1973 until 1987.

When Socialist World was ruined in 1995 was created World Fitness Federation (W.F.F. - International) which took the leadership of bodybuilding in some Europe and former Socialist countries. Later International fitness and bodybuilding were separated and since that time fitness was ruled by W.F.F. - International and bodybuilding was ruled by the World Body Building Federation (W.B.B.F. - International).

During the last thirty years appeared about forty “International” bodybuilding federations led by ill minded people. For every clever bodybuilder is evident - if one is not afraid of doping control - there is with it’s law and finance problems in 1970 in Belgrade (Yugoslavia) by F.I.H.C.  (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste) General Secretary OSCAR STATE created International Federation of Body Builders (I.F.B.B.); when one do not want doping control - there is old traditional National Amateur Body Building Association (N.A.B.B.A.). Everything is clear as daylight - the three above mentioned organizations rule International bodybuilding and fitness. Why other bodybuilding federations needed? What are their aims? Seems like childrens game... These federations have never been recognized by any Governmental or International Sport Structure. Their work is of zero value. First we met this nonsense forty years ago when two bodybuilders of Estonian SSR went to Italy to participate at “Europe” Championship. After coming back they kept silence. The reason was - there were only several participants from two countries - Italy and Estonia. The organizer was a private person representing no federation. In 2000 - 2005 Lithuanian bodybuilders were participating at the contests of the International federation of homosexual bodybuilders (today bodybuilders of Republic Poland are active in this field). Ok, anyway we can understand organization like this. From time to time we hear about another misunderstanding - the International Federation of “natural bodybuilders”. Natural bodybuilders are like alcoholics without alcohol... Every day primitive bodybuilders are fooled and cheated.

Since 1999 Italians started to participate at International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. contests. They organized Italian contest for many years and now they wanted to organize official International contests in Italy. We told them how to create official federation. Now they have logo, they have name and still there is no federation. Organizers of this Italian group used to fight in between. So this way for several years another “International” federation appeared in France. After another Italian fight ten years ago one more “International” federation appeared in Slovenia.

Bodybuilders have problems with brains?

Today many idiotic categories appeared at bodybuilding contests - like bikini, wellness... Whom you are fooling? It is women bodybuilding and be smart - it is bad women bodybuilding. You want to say it is fitness? No - fitness is without doping. All activities with doping is bodybuilding. Do not lie for yourself and for other people. Let these “bikinies” and “welness” bodybuilders participate together with a real bodybuilder... Nonsense - they are weak athletes and they have no chances to participate at normal bodybuilding contests successfully. This is the reason that “bikinies” appeared. With men’s bodybuilding situation is the same. For example - lazy bodybuilders do not train legs. For them we have “Men’s Physique” category. Participants are representing bodybuilding and in fact they are bad bodybuilders. No legs, no calves... In normal bodybuilding fight they have no chances... So what is the value of their wins? Nothing... Weak bodybuilders participate at contests of “mickey - mouse” federations and in “mickey - mouse” categories and they become champions. What is the value of their titles? Nothing... Is anybody really proud of this?

WHO BROKE BODYBUILDING IN ESTONIA?

BEHAVIOUR AROUND INNAR MARDO.

In 1980 bodybuilding still was prohibited in the U.S.S.R. and Socialist Countries. When in 1978 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS wrote the petition to defend prohibited bodybuilding, he personally brought it to Moscow and presented to the highest U.S.S.R. political powers. The achieved victory let to start public competitions in Klaipeda (Lithusnian SSR). Until this time contests were illegal and were done illegally without public. The first official public bodybuilding contest was the 1978 „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinis prizas“,  «Янтарный приз», 1968 – 2025) which was organized by DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Since 1978 the „Amber Prix International“ got the status of the „Unofficial U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Championship“ («Неофициальный чемпионат С.С.С.Р. по культуризму»).

OVERTHROW INNAR MARDO.

In 1980 the traditional „Georg Tenno Memorial“ («Мемориал Георга Тенно», 1971 - 2024) was not organized in the Estonian SSR. When in 1979 INNAR MARDO (Иннар Мардо, 1946 – 2002) and the best U.S.S.R. bodybuilder of that time Estonian OLEV ANNUS returned from competition in Czechoslovakian SSR they guarreled in between. Influenced by Lithuanian ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS OLEV ANNUS started acting. ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS always envied INNAR MARDO his sport success. Letters of INNAR MARDO to DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS say that OLEV ANNUS wrote bad letters about INNAR MARDO to political powers of the Estonian SSR. Due to this INNAR MARDO lost his gym and his position of the President of the National Bodybuilding Federation of the Estonian SSR. Also the Communist powers of the Estonian SSR prohibited 1980 „Georg Tenno Momorial“.

The leadership of bodybuilding in the Estonian SSR took OLEV ANNUS and brothers ARRO. INNAR AMARDO as well as DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS did not stop bodybuilding activities due to the conflicts. Both went on working on their own.

In 1980 separatly from the National Bodybuilding Federation of the Estonian SSR INNAR MARDO and INDREK OTSUS went to „Trener“ contest in the Czechoslovakian SSR. INDREK OTSUS won against the 1975 Over All I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) Europe Champion PETER STACH again and received the title of the Over All Winner.
