Because I have never been a Weider guy. I was not living in America as Weider Wanted.
Serge
no disrespect intended serge, but can you please inform us of exactly which mr olympia you should have won? make any excuse you want but, ON THE DAY, you didn't. it's really that simple. you were tricked? so what! learn from it, come back the following year and DON'T BE DENIED AGAIN.
you have stated repeatedly that you did not win the olympia because of politics, geography, racism, nepotism etc, but have never stated specifically what olympia competition you actually entered and got shafted.
oh, btw, for every single excuse you make, i can name, specifically, a mr olympia that debunks it ie:
politics - sergio was cuban (communist country) and black and it is no secret that he didn't play weider's game. he also won the olympia at a time when racial prejudice was worse than yours and he won it more than once.
geography - dorian yates lived and trained at the other side of the world and wasn't even remotely a 'weider guy'. he kept to himself, worked his ass off in the gym quietly and when he got beaten he listened to the criticism and simply came back the next time BETTER THAN EVER. he would not be denied. arnold did exactly the same thing.
racism - that card just doesn't fly when you consider that there about as many black olympia winners as white and, again, sergio won it when racial prejudice was worse than your time.
nepotism - refer aforementioned points and i cite sergio, dickerson and yates as examples to destroy this theory.
you had a great physique and achieved a great deal with it serge, but please don't sprout your silly excuses for not winning the o. it is disrespectful to those that did and it shows a lack of class.
i have no problem with your criticism of the weiders or the politics, etc but, again, winners don't make excuses.
