The guy's name was Louis(can't remember his last name)that won the overall. He was a middleweight. What weight class was Jamel in?

You know what, I forgot he turned Pro.  So he might not have placed in the top 5.

Musclemania is natural, right?

240 let it go man.  you pushed this issue with mattT as well.   the thing is bb is full of hypocrasy.  i mean check out lees list of rules according to the ifbb.  according to them all IFBB shows are natural as well. 

OH SHIT BOB - I GUESS YOU WILL JOIN ME AFTER READING SOME OFF THESE. I GUESS WE ARE ALL GUILTY (NUMBER 12). I HOPE THEY ARE READY TO SUSPEND OTHERS IF GOING TO SUSPEND ME. JUST A THOUGHT

Athletes: We, the athletes, realizing that our conduct reflects on the good name of the sport, and realizing the responsibility thereby placed upon us, pledge ourselves:

1. to fulfill our responsibility to society, to other athletes, judges, officials, and administrators of the IFBB.

2. to honour, dignify, and support the sport by competing in the best condition and to the best of our ability, and by being in top shape when giving an exhibition or a seminar.

3. to respect our opponents on equal terms in the spirit of friendly rivalry and good sportsmanship.

4. to respect the IFBB Constitution and Rules as well as the rules of competition and to observe them honestly in cooperation with other competitors, judges, officials, administrators, and organizers.

5. to accept the decisions of the judges, officials and administrators in the spirit of good sportsmanship without descending to selfish recriminations, realizing that these decisions have been made honestly, fairly, and objectively.

6. to assist the IFBB in the promotion of the sport by acting as a goodwill ambassador of the sport, promoting the sport in a positive manner, and protecting the good image and integrity of the sport and the IFBB.

7. to work for the IFBB, not against it, in promoting its values, morals and ethics; to exercise our right of protest in a courteous, respectful manner, following the proper chain of command; to refrain from innuendo, malicious gossip and rumour-mongering; to refrain from personal attacks against any other Member of the IFBB.

8. to continue striving for bodily perfection and correct moral principles.

9. to honour the special trust conferred upon us by our participation in, and by our representation of, the IFBB and our 34 country, at international events, and to adhere to the standards of personal conduct expected of us.

10. to recognize the value of the sport and to promote its future by serving as an example to inspire other people to participate.

11. to cooperate with our officials and administrators in the development of high standards, both moral and physical, for the sport and in the progressive furtherance of the objects of the IFBB.

12. to oppose the use of banned substances and methods and to compete drug-free.

13. to refrain from any conduct that may be considered prejudicial to the IFBB;

14. to conduct ourselves at all times in a manner that reflects positively upon the image of the sport and the IFBB.

Subject: Prize Payment & Travel Reimbursement
    
Hello, Mr. Sami:

I received your telephone call message this morning and am writing to
update about your payment.  I tried to call your telephone numbers but
received the following responses:

Home     973 ********* - Disconnected message
Cell #1   973 ********* - Ringing with no answer
Cell #2   973 ********* - Message that number telephone was turned off
Cell #3   973 ********* - No ring or response

We have not yet received our sponsor payments because the telephone
shows have not broadcast.  The shows have been scheduled for mid-May.  
Therefore, because we depend upon their prompt payment to pay our bills
including your prize and reimbursement, we are slow in getting other
bills paid.  We don't want our cash flow circumstances to become any
more of a problem than it may have already caused you.  So, this week,
we will be sending you a partial payment and will address additional
payments on a weekly basis until paid in full.
Regardless of your thoughts, I do apologize for the tardiness of the
payment and assure that you will receive complete satisfaction.  Thank
you for patience and cooperation.

Louis

  i guess the words on RED... he was planning  to send me every week $100

Sad to say, but in America, it's pretty damn hard to collect.  You'd be better off focusing that energy on earning new money.  Even if you do get a claim against Lou, there are a line of ppl in front of you and the guy doesn't seem to have much to go after.  Best advice is to chalk it up to a learning experience.  You cheated, you got cheated.  Go play in another league now.

Sadly, that's 100% correct. 

Zwick and the entire Musclemania/Fitness America organization should be exposed for the fraudsters they are, however.

No disrespect intended to those whom are truly natural and where just looking for a even playing field to compete in !! Sadly the promoters and the organisers of these contests and organisations don't give a shit , and only wanted to make money and not protect the integrity of the athlete !!

Everybody applauds the few (one) pros that are ballsy enough to speak honestly about the IFBB (Lee) but when a champion from another organization (arguably the second biggest in the world?) exposes his organization for the sham it is he gets hammered for it?  At least he's got the balls to come forward and speak the truth on what it takes to make it to the top in the Musclemania federation - not hiding behind a screen name but with his name and career on the line.  If a "natural" organization is a sham it should be exposed to allow the guys that are actually clean to compete somewhere else on a level playing field.

The thing is irejistirred4denna, this guy musclemania pro came on this board a while ago and claimed to be totally natural , that was to he was exposed, then he refused to see any thing wrong in his stance of cheating to win the show and thus got burnt big time here !!!!

You do your self no favours trying to find a angle to defend his actions , bottom line is he entered a natural show whilst using steroid's, there is no Honour in that , and saying that he has exposed the federations for what they are is also a miss quote, as all knew and know that they are , all he has done is 1 highlight the fact and 2 expose himself !!

let me rant one more time

What is it with everyone needing to slap the word "federation" onto anything relating to bodybuilding?

The Pro IFBB is not a federation. 

The NPC is not a federation.

Musclemania is not a federation.

Federation is defined as "an organization or group within which smaller divisions have some degree of internal autonomy"

The AAU was a federation.  You joined a local chapter.  You were a member of that chapter.  If you moved, you had to transfer your membership to your new local chapter.  The local chapter had elected officers and regular meetings.  The local chapter was a member of a district and/or a region and finally a member of the national organization.

The amateur IFBB may be a federation, in that each country has it's own org which is a member of the international IFBB.   

The only way the NPC is a federation is if it's a federation of contest promoters.  For the athletes, there is no local autonomy.  Your membership is not to a local chapter.

Musclemania is a privately held corporation.

Yeah, he and alimani had a good laugh, joking about the ways they outsmarted the rules.  My guess is that even if Lou-sy does slowly pay off the class winners, he will get to you LAST, as you're the only one who went on getbig.com and bragged about cheating.

The first thing you learn in Thievery 101 is that a thief should not trust other thieves. You basically got your cum-up-ance.

The fact that you Musclemania pro entered a competition that was advertised as natural, knowing full well that you had an unfair advantage over (probably) most of the competitors, and smiled after you were given the trophy (or stole it depending on your view point) makes most people here lack simpathy for you. Not to mention your bragging and arogance about getting over did'nt build you many fans here.

In a way you got your just desserts, the universe balanced out very well in this particular matter.

You have a good physique, one that would do well in the NPC or PDI untested shows (were it belongs), thats where you would get more respect for your efforts.

I think I saw the same thread and I agree 100% that drugged competitors that compete in a natural competitions are scum.  I've competed in a Musclemania before, and would bet the guy who took my class and the overall (light-heavy) was not natural, he had vascularity in his calves like that pic of Rhino that Mike Arvilla just posted and was very full with paper thin skin. 

At the same time, if the promoter of the show is telling him in a roundabout way to take drugs, just make sure he passes the test, his confession has a helluva lot more clout against Musclemania than people like myself or most on this board who can only speculate and point fingers without any real proof.  Personally I'd love to see a bunch of competitors jacked up on teh sauce come in to Musclemania, win shows and beat the tests and then confess to what a joke the Musclemania actually is.  If the Musclemania brass was legitimate about being natural, and enforced it with an iron fist, I'd be the first to say burn the Phantom of the Opera at the stake ;D  Unfortunately most of us know Musclemania is a joke.

I think the justification is that every pro in Musclemania is not truley natural.  Every amateur overall winner is not natural.  So it's a level playing field, just not what the audience thinks it is.

Zwick doesn't make his money directly from the contests.  These days there are hardly any contestants, and not many more people in the audience.  The real money comes from TV.  Not in the US of course, but Musclemania contests (including the model search) are very popular throughout Latin America.  (From the TV schedule on the mm website, it seems to be popular in South Africa too.)

If Zwick had truley natural guys winning his contest, his ratings would plummet.   In Latin America, the US, or Europe, we've all forgotten what natural looks like.  Steroids mean looking like an IFBB pro.  Put a real natural guy on stage, and they'll probably call it a swimmer's build.

Zwick is a TV producer.  He's giving the audience what they want.  Beefy guys who claim to be natural, but aren't.

I don't know about that, but way back when, Kelly was not given the prizes she supposedly won for capturing the Fitness America Pageant title.  I believe they eventually worked out some arrangement, but she never got all that had been promised to her by the event organizer, Lou Zwick.

I hear what your saying, I know that this is about making money, unfortunately the playing field at this type of show is not level because some competitors are actually drug free. I do understand that there are unwritten rules but I still think this type of thing is slimey, at least to the guy who competes without extra assistance.

on a related note: I have competed in a few shows from different organizations (NPC, Musclemania and NGA), some of these events were promoted as natural events and others as not, In all of them I competed without the sauce and did quiet well. Some shows I won my division and others I came in second or third, others I placed a bit lower. I know that I'm not the only drug free competitor entering these events, therefore the playing field is not even.

Of course someone will say that I should have gotten with it and played by the unwritten rules, but there is something about accepting a trophy that says natural when your not that reaks of lowness.

WNBF/INBF - 5 to 7 years, depending on the contest

INBA/ABA - 5 to lifetime, depending on the contest (and they even include recreational drugs in their list of banned substances)

Simply speaking, the musclemania shows are for getting some publicity, when you cant do top ten, in the NPC.  The money isnt shit and wouldnt cover gas and food to the event.   Its a promotion thing and thats it.
