It's all looking pretty ugly for the Aussie Pro's longevity right now.

Many unanswered questions.

Someone within this sport must stand up and tell the truth on The Greek.....it is an absolute disgrace!

give it a rest.  the IFBB can and does invite anyone they want.  Just look at the Santa Susana Pro.

The recent events surrounding The Greek have 'again' placed a dark and forboding cloud over the sport.

At the end of the day, it is about truth and credibility.  Without these values the competition as we know it is totally meaningless.


T.D continues to fall silent on The Greek.  And to quote and overused cliche 'his silence speaks volumes'

The question remains; '' Will the Aussie Pro ever recover after this Greek-debacle???''

Who cares. Call him a wild card. I'm sure if you are good enough they would allow you to compete

the problem with all this faux outrage over trivial matters is that it takes away from legitimate grips.  of all the problems with pro bodybuilding, that someone stepped on stage that wasn't quite pro caliber is really pretty insignificant. 

where was your outrage regarding Jocelyn Pelletier ?

Oh, I forgot.  You never participate in actual discussions.

Jocelyn couldn't win a local Grand Masters contest, but continued to be invited to the Ironman and Montreal Pro.  That's ok in that the IFBB can invite anyone they want.   Lots of examples in the Santa Susana Pro

I am an outsider.  I have no contacts inside the IFBB Pro League.

why should they care?   the amateur IFBB is a non-profit organization.  the pro IFBB is a for profit business.

We do the best we can, other shows change the list right up to the show, the Ironman changed completely from the first list they published. Some things are out of our control. It even goes on in other sports, golf, tennis, etc. YOu need to get out more toolbag!

It has been mentioned before and interestingly they are both posting now and neither has responded.

Although I like Alex, it would explain a few things. Nah couldn't be???????   ::)
