The Kurdistan Bodybuilding Federation (KBF) held a one-day conference on January 15 for Kurdish bodybuilders in Erbil, as it looks to form a draft constitution in which bodybuilding rules and athletes' rights are identified.
More than 50 bodybuilders, and bodybuilding trainers and referees, throughout Kurdistan Region attended the conference.
"We have made several significant decisions concerning the annual bodybuilding work plan," said KBF head Burhan Juma'a. "We have identified new requirements that each gym must meet. Whoever wants to open a gym should be an athlete and have a bodybuilding background. The gym should be big enough to hold all necessary tools and equipment."
Since Kurdistan has several bodybuilders who often perform extraordinarily in the Asian and Arab championships by winning gold and silver medals, the KBF decided to work on building relations between Kurdistan and other countries.
"The federation should ask the Kurdistan Olympic Committee to have a better standpoint toward those who participate in the international championships," said Ahmed Majeed, known as Ahmed Rambo. "Those who have no athletic background should not be given an official license for opening and managing gyms from the federation since bodybuilding is a very sensitive sport requiring experts."
