The organization issued a brief statement confirming the change in leadership, thanking Siesta for his contributions without disclosing the reasons behind the sudden exit. Despite the departure, the IBA maintains that its operations remain unaffected. The governing body, which traces its history back to 1946, continues to emphasize its athlete-first strategy while attempting to expand its global influence in the sport. IBA Pro serves as the primary vehicle for the association’s professional growth initiatives, and the search for a successor or a restructuring of the director role remains unaddressed in official communications.
