An industry insider suggested that someone in the IFBB heirarchy has put pressure on Ron not to give me any recognition here 'because I know too much'. Could be a conspriracy.
So what you're saying is that Bob Chick has put pressure on Ron to not acknowledge your past accomplishments. Do you really think Ron would be bullied into a corner by Chick with regards to how to run his board? Ron is a grown-ass-man with big, hairy(albeit curly), balls. I highly doubt anyone can sway that man to do anything he doesn't want to do.
I mean, I can understand how Vince G CSN MFT PHD is denied his competitor stars because he hasn't done much in open contests yet. However, I won a national title and have written articles on hypertrophy for Ironman so should be given expert standing among the unwashed and wannabe Flotsam here. That is the least that Ron can do.
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you here. As much as people like to hate on Melvin and call him all sorts of names, he has actually competed in bodybuilding contests. While the contests were local events, that doesn't mean that he didn't compete, that just means that they weren't that grand in scale. While Melvin isn't in great shape, the guy has paid his dues by dieting down to the best of his abilities and going on stage.
If this conspiracy theory is true it will partly explain why libelous posts are allowed to remain on Getbig. Clearly someone doesn't want me posting here. I have openly criticized Bob Chick, the Pro League, Jim Manion, Steve Weinberger, Paul Graham, Ben Weider, and the sorry mess known as the IFBB. Unlike the anonymous heroes among the Flotsam I take full responsibility for what I post here.[/color]
You know Ron's take on this...
