ABCC - American Bodybuilding Coordinating Committee 1982-1998

Jack

O'Bleness

The ABCC was founded in California in 1979 by Jack O’Bleness(1). Drug testing at shows began in 1982(2). ABCC shows were conducted in NV, OR, TX and WA in the early 1990’s, but the majority of ABCC events took place in California.

 

O’Bleness published an ABCC Newsletter for the organization(3).

 

 The organization operated under a one-year drug-free policy until late 1989 when they became an amateur affiliate of the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation (WNBF). From that time forward they operated under a five-year drug-free policy. The ABCC remained a WNBF amateur affiliate through 1994.
