Paul Chua (born Singapore September 2, 1941) is an internationally renowned bodybuilding official. Having worked his way up as a small time unionist and secretary of an insignificant badminton club in Singapore, Chua used his political skills to worm his way up to the highest echelons of the IFBB. He is the vice president of the International Federation of BodyBuilders for Asia, the secretary general and treasurer of the Asian Bodybuilding Federation. He was president of the South East Asian Bodybuilding Federation (SBBF) from 1978 to 2007, and serves as SBBF's honorary life president and advisor.〔 〕 He is an advocate of drug-free sport and was awarded the Order of Seri Melaka in 2001 for his services to the bodybuilding sport. In 2006, Paul was elected as the Executive Assistant to the newly elected president of the IFBB, Rafael Santonja. In 2009, Chua was accused of accepting bribes from Chan Yun-to in 2006 to remove his suspension from competing in body building competitions.〔 〕 That same year, following an investigation in a separate incident, the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) determined that Chua had allowed three body builders who had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs to participate in the Doha Asian Games in 2005. After reviewing the matter, the IFBB suspended the Asian Bodybuilding Federation (ABBF) and Chua.〔 〕 In 2010, The Independent Commission Against Corruption (Hong Kong) formally stopped all investigations against Paul Chua. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Chua」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
