National Physique Committe (NPC) = a non-profit organization
Originally I wasn’t going to re-publish this material. Numerous friends of mine had sent it to me, as it was (at the time) an active thread on GetBig.com. However, the powers-that-be on that site have seen fit to pull the information offline. This information concerns the National Physique Comitte’s ownership by Jim Manion (no surprise there) and its status as a Non-Profit Organization (huh?). As a result, I can only determine that they don’t want it being public (perhaps fearing the IRS taking a hard look at the organization)…which naturally means that I DO want it public. Here’s my deal: If any sites controlled by the NPC or IFBB delete any threads about their company, the internal politics, drug/steroid use, etc…I will immediately republish them here in my blog.
This will require a bit of audience participation (that means you!). If you see a thread or post that looks damaging to the NPC/IFBB, screenshot it or copy/paste it into a word doc (or email), and send it over to me. If the thread gets pulled, I’ll immediately republish it here.
Let’s have a look at the information the NPC was so eager to remove, shall we?
The National Physique Committee is a non-profit owned by Jim Manion and others, formed in 1978 in Ohio as National Physique Committee of the AAUhttp://www2.sos.state.oh.us/pls/port…_values=512238
then changed names to National Physique Committee of the USA in 1981, then incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1984

The articles of incorporation from 1978 list James Manion, Kenneth Sprague, Clarence Bass, Mike Katz, Ken Peterson, Jerome Weis, Ralph Countryman, Larry Gordon, Kent Kuehn, and Rodney Miller as trustees

and it seems like the NPC did not legally exist between Sept 27, 1993 and June 3, 1999

No idea who are listed as the trustees today
the domain names nationalphysiquecommitte e.com, nationalphysiquecommitte e.org, nationalphysiquecommitte e.net, and npcnewsonline.com are owned by his son J M Manion. Why isn’t the NPC itself listed as the owner of the domain names?
