Akbar Khazaei, professional judge of IFBB Pro and (NPC) competitions, about Hadi Chopan's championship in Las Vegas 2022 has said, winning of the first place in the Mr. Olympia by an Iranian in America displays that racism, nationality and differences between governments does not affect the rights and status of athletes in Mr. Olympia and IFBB Pro, and refereeing in these competitions is fair and just.[5]
