The Malta Amateur Bodybuilders Association (MABA) has just elected Mario Zammit as its new president during an annual general meeting. Dr Zammit polled more votes than Vladimir Puglisevich who also contested the post.

Dr Zammit replaces Joe Dimech who last month resigned after 42 years at the helm of the association.

The new president thanked all members present and urged them to keep on contributing to help the association.

Vice president John Buhagiar also addressed the assembly. He said Dimech had dedicated long years to MABA. His work was beneficial for bodybuilding to earn recognition from the Malta Olympic Committee and other federations abroad.

Dimech, Dr Buhagiar added, was also instrumental in increasing awareness on doping in sports.
