What will murder do to the sport

[240 is Back]

As an earlier poster alluded to, over the last 60-plus years, at least, "bodybuilding" has had its share of participants who were either murderers, robbers, arsonists, drug users/dealers, gang leaders, hit men, etc., making sensational negative press and besmirching the BB lifestyle.  But, despite this, BB continues to survive as a closet cult/lifestyle!

As before, the mass media will have their "shark-feeding-frenzy" on the alleged Titus' murder...hey, maybe even a TV movie...and then, this sensationalism, too, will pass!

But, unlike previous decades in the history of BB, we NOW have a firm foundation of millions of socially responsible, drug-free, "recreational bodybuilders" (good citizens!) who are weight-training at home and in gyms, world-wide!  These wonderful individuals present, and help establish/perpetuate, an undeniable POSITIVE image of BB to the general pubic and the media...so desperately needed to help counter the periodic sensational negative press of a handful of BB miscreant murderers, drug dealers/users, gang leaders, etc.!  Thank God!!

Rich, if you would like to write up a few paragraphs - an editorial- on the problem being the man, and not any drug- I would love to put it on www.freecraigtitus.com   

I am trying to collect a number of resources, as well as differing views on the subject, so the reader doesn't have to swallow what cnn.com tells them to think.

Titus is now as relevant as canned olives.

Monster fading into obscurity.

Bodybuilding is not a sport and what happened to that racist murderer Bertil Fox?

[hifrommike]

Bertil Fox was originally given a death sentence, but it was commuted to life in prison.  He will never go free.

This whole Titus thing is going to draw some serious attention to Bodybuilding and it will smear a huge mark on the already fucked up sport


question is will this cause the whole industry to get douched and cleaned up?


could this terrible event actually be good for the sport after this blows over?

it will do what any other case does,, it will make le go after NARCOTIC DEALERS even harder. the reason bodybuilding is even mentioned is because small minority of "bodybuilding" personas add nubain and many other pain killers onto their "phenominal" ug lists and then on the weekends go in the club/party wearing muscle shirts selling x and coke and meth.

NARCS BRING DOWN BODYBUILDERS. NARCS IS THE REASON YOU GET BUSTED. NARCS NARCS NARCS! some in usa do not seem to get it,,SAY NO TO NARCOTICS!!!
