The reason Bodybuilding will never be in the Olympics...
« on: May 08, 2008, 12:40:42 PM »
No way will anyone in thier right mind who makes money on bodybuilding will ever try to make it an olympic sport.  Just look at the USADA list of how many people were tested.  It's easy to tell their interests...If BB goes to the Olympics guess what?  Testing...and ummm...I can't imagine how that would turn out!!! ::)

Most athletes in the Olympics are probably using anyway. They just don't get caught. Maybe I'm being cynical though  ???

So you're saying that not being a sport has nothing to do with its exclusion from the Games?

Not many sports are in the Olympics...

In fact, baseball and softball were both voted out of the Olympics, so they will be there for 2008 Beiging, but not for 2012 London.

The sport before that which was elminated out of the Olympics in 1930 was Polo.

Yeah, first it would have to be a sport which it's not and never will be as long as Weiders are around.  Then the people who put on shows would have to agree to test at their shows which would mean nobody showed up to watch or participate other than some skinny natural guys.  And for some reason grown men are infatuated with watching huge juiced to the gills guys in tights...Trust me, Skip I highly doubt would show up if he really knew he could be subject to in and out of competition testing.  No fans, no contestants, no sport...I guess it all goes hand in hand...

I don't know much about baseball, but would there even be any nation that could give the USA even a hint of competition?

Olympics = A cultural diverse appeal

Pro Bodybuilding = A homo diverse appeal

Bottom line, Pro Bodybuilding will remain in the cultural-sewer where it belongs. 

No body in their right mind could ever take this drug-fuelled-passtime seriously.

I would venture a guess that bodybuilding will remain excluded from the Olympics because the competition involves no exhibition of physical prowess. At least the women's fitness competition is judged by the feats of athleticism.

This subject has been beaten to death...

There is one reason, and one reason only that BB never made it into the Olympics:

There is no athletic move to be judged as a completed movement. There is no set criteria, and no required elements.

End of story.

BB'ing won't make it to the olympics because it's NOT a sport... it's a male beauty pageant... all other olympic events are sport competitions.

I don't think this has nothing to do with your sexual preference....

That is the main reason, but definitely not the ONLY.
