IFBB: 2000 IFBB Congress Report
"First time ONLINE Congress Report - over 100 pages & 300 photographs of the 54th IFBB World Men's Amateur Bodybuilding Championships & International Congress.
The IFBB recognizes that the Congress Report, in print format, is distributed only to a select group of officials in our 172 National Federations. By publishing online, we dramatically increase our exposure and the news of our yearly activities is circulated to a much wider audience."
President's Report:
"We are now taking the unprecedented action of completing a plan to work towards gaining official status as a demonstration sport at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. What an appropriate stage, given that the Greek Olympians were the first true bodybuilders.
It is important for our members to understand that the official recognition granted to the IFBB under Rule 29 of the Olympic Charter is not the final word of the IOC. We continue to work towards receiving the highest possible respect from the IOC by operating in accordance with its principles."

Garrett Downing:
"Yes, you may have read it elsewhere, I am planning on doing all of the IFBB Pro shows this year. I've been described as the hardest working bodybuilder in the business and with that I will not argue.
My schedule is quite a grueling one. So, just in case you ever feel like giving yourself an excuse that you are too busy to get in shape, because you have a "real job" or a family or other commitments, I want you to think about Garrett Downing and his schedule which looks something like this:"
Britannica: Sports Illustrated: The Muscle Murders: 18 maj 1998
"When Bertil Fox, a former Mr. Universe, was arrested for double homicide last year, he became only the latest accused murderer among hard-core bodybuilders, whose subculture is a volatile mix of fragile egos, economic hardship and anabolic steroid abuse."

Shawn Ray: Shawn Ray's Announcement:
I am not competing in the ARNOLD CLASSIC 2001. I never was and I never spoke to anybody representing the "Classic" about my participation in the show! This is a false advertisement for the show and I deeply regret to inform my fans who thought I was competing, that I am not.
Shawn Ray: Bodybuilding Longevity:
"Longevity and competitive bodybuilding are two words not usually associated for more than approximately 5 years when discussing the Mr. Olympia and it's participants. The professional bodybuilder may have a competitive career that spans 10 years or more but in general it is not the rule when talking about competing at the sports highest level, namely in the Mr. Olympia!"
