Concerns regarding POV/neutrality and lack of citations for recent section

[edit]

The following section has been added by Athom1790:

CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION

 + What has not been mentioned on this page is that Marcel Mostert, Christian Fennell and the rest of the IFSA organization (reopened as Champions League) ended its tenure in the Fall of 2007 by abandoning 25,000 pounds of equipment and burning dozens of athletes for over $100,000 American dollars in prize money when it held its last competition in Korea. The freight bill Marcel Mostert and Fennell abandoned totalled $63,000.00. There were tens of thousands of dollars also lost storing and transporting the four giant crates that had to be held by the Philadelphia-based freight forwarder for two years. The Philadelphia forwarder ended up shutting down one of his offices and laying people, some of who had been employed by the Philadelphia Freight forwarder for over 20 years. These same IFSA officals and others from its executive staff and Board of Governors have entered shows such as The Arnold Classic and Fortissimus in the roles of officials. The integrity of these shows has been questioned in several circles since 2008. The process to file a Federal Lawsuit has started again in the Summer of 2010 and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is being notified of the problems with his strongman competition in Columbus Ohio. 

Whilst I do not dispute that the article should contain reference to the issue I am concerned about the way it has been presented, i.e. that the facts are not being presented in a neutral way and I believe they violate Wikipedia’s rules on neutrality. The section is also written in an inflammatory way. I have removed the section twice stating that I think it ought to be rewritten from a neutral standpoint and that it should have citations. However, the edit has simply been replaced. In fairness, the talk page is the place to discuss this, hence I have begun this discussion. Similar edits by the same editor have been made on Strongman Champions League‎, Fortissimus‎ and Arnold Strongman Classic‎. Kwib (talk) 12:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

With the intention of resolving the potential issues surrounding the above section and other articles, a centralised discussion has begun on the talk page of Athom1790.Kwib (talk) 22:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
