Oh oh. It's not nice to diss your boss Steve Blechman. He might get mad at Lee. So the truth comes out. MD is censoring the PDI. No PDI anymore Lee. Your own magazine is censoring you. What the hell?


Priest: Well i never thought i would hear or see the day.I was doing my interview as normal tonight with Ron Harris when i was told no PDI was to be mentioned. That said i mentioned the PDI to much in my article.WHERE go back it got mentioned here and there.I nevr thought the IFBB would get to Steve but maybe i am wrong.WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE THE IFBB NEEDS YOU,THE SPONSORS,FANS,ATHLETES YET THEY DICTATE WHAT YOU WRITE AND SAY OR WHERE SPONSORS MONEY GOES.I am just speechless now i am being censored. well GO PDI YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER TO CENSOR ME

  Only serves to prove two points: that Lee is a big, whiney pussy, and that MD blows goats and ladders.

yep, he's done.

if he's lucky, after his suspension, maybe the IFBB will let him compete again.

he's been dropped by vitrually every major supplement company.  his contract expires and those companies have no desire to resign him.

what's that say about lee and the person he is??


lee acts like he's speaking his mind, but he is just whiney and wants attention.  he's been one of the most popular pros for the past decade, what the f**k does he have to bitch about.

he just loves the attention and starting shit.  why else would someone get a fucking tatoo on their face?

its a shame, bc lee was a great bber.  too bad he cant shut up and just compete.

LOL... you know I won't comment.  Lee is a winner. Period.  He was rookie of the year in racing, and he's kicking ass this year on the track.  In BBing, he's won 3 shows in two years, is the most talked about guy not named Cutler, and has excellent taste in fast food, women, and web designers :)


But I will send congrats to one of your guys who won the Kitchen Klassic this year ;)

LOL! Ah this new 240 is much too mello. You seemed to have slimmed down to 210 as of late. You have the rookie of the year in racing and I have the rookie of the year in bodybuilding. Fair enough. LOL!

Bigger question is - Why would MD not want PDI mentioned?  What do they care?  It's not like that is going to get the Olympia Press passes again...

If anything, you think they would want to be the only magazine to have articles on it.  Anything to get more readers.

My guess has something to do with advertisers though - maybe not wanting their product placement near PDI?  I really don't know here...

Lee, I'm not aware of any pros who have columns in MD who post their training advice on the Internet on a regular basis. And if they did post on the Internet, I would still want new and original content in the magazine. Remember Lee, I cannot emphasize this enough, our new Internet site will always complement not cannibalize the magazine. It will not duplicate the print or vice versa and should always contain original content so we can provide the most value and not short-change our readers and fans.

Also Lee, I called you three times last night to explain this to you and discuss this matter with you but you haven't returned my calls.

Good luck with that I think it would be a good idea for them, but man the resident haters and racist on here are gonna be gunning for you - BTW how exactly is Arab defined - is it kinda nationalistic or origin decent based? Because by race, I've seen folks that claim to be Arab and look like every race under the sun - you actually look like allot of Berber guys I know from North Africa.

I don't know dude, it sounds like the "no bullshit" magazine is full of shit, in getting in the corporate IFBB line like the other suck asses.  I hope this PDI thing takes off, and the IFBB and its sponsors have to step up and pay the athletes more of their fair share.  MD is becoming a hypocritical magazine now........

No I never said ARAB was bad or good just that we gotta lotta aholes here that might take swipes at you just because. Ok so it's kinda like how the Norsk, Danes, Islandics, and Swedes are all Scandanavia - speak a very similar language, but don't consider the Finns real scandanavians cause their language is more Russian\Sumi in origin. Good luck in the UK - peace.

Racing?? What racing is he successful at??? I don't see him going up against an Earnhardt, Gordon, Johnson, Kenseth, Stewart, etc every Sunday in NASCAR!! Isn't that what he has tattooed on his stupid shoulder right - NASCAR. Until he's on that circuit and beating the guys I just mentioned, THEN you can call him successful. Same goes for his bodybuilding - I don't see how anyone can say he's one of the best of ALL TIME....no way, hose'. He was okay for the past 5-10 years, but not of ALL TIME.

Just my .02

I really hate to break this to you, but there are racing circuits other than NASCAR....Lee may be a fan of NASCAR...Ever thought about that dipstick LoL.... ::)...By the way, you can't make a valid argument about Lee's success in bodybuilding, his career speaks for its self douche...LoL

Really?? WHo's going to sign him?? Richard Childress Racing?? Robert Yates?? Evernham?? Hendricks Motor Sports?? Don't think so...........

The dude is so erratic that I don't think HE knows what he wants anymore - just look at his tattoos - he seems to be constantly searching or reinventing himself.

 Here's the deal - he had HUGE potential in Bodybuilding and it's my opinion that he blew it - he'll never be a top guy. How can anyone say he's one of the best of all time when he really never won a major contest. Did he win the NOC?? Arnold?? Olympia??

Douche??? Dipstick???You have to resort to name calling?? CANT ANYONE ON THIS BOARD TALK A POINT WITHOUT RESORTING TO CHILDISH NAME CALLING??? I refuse to get to your 12 year old level, okay??

Umm...I realize that there are more racing circuits than NASCAR, my little friend, but everyone says what a great race car driver he is....so let's see him race with the big boys if he's so good.

His record in BB?? Okay, tell me how many Arnolds he's won...NOC's??? Olympias??? That seems to be the barometer of success when competing against the big boys, correct?

Okay....so he won 6 contests out of the 43 he completed in and his average Olympia finish was 8th out of the 6 he competed in. Do you really want to count the PDI win as an accomplishment?? I'd have more respect for the dude if he did the Olympia and finished in the top 5.  :P

Lee is a successful drag racer....Sorry if he didn't chose to compete in your beloved NASCAR....Seeing as how your vision is blinded by being able to only see the Olympia and NASCAR...I guess nothing else exists in your world....If you are comfortable in your world than so be it...The rest of us can respect people that are truly successful in more than two arenas...LoL.... ::)

Drag racing??? Why doesn't he have "Drag Racing" tattooed across his shoulder instead of "NASCAR" - did he get confused?? And the reason I'm pointing out the OLYMPIA contest is that it's THE only contest where the best of the best are compared to one another at ONE CONTEST - Not the PDI Night of CHampions, correct??

Come back when you have a better argument, my friend.

Huh?? Of course I have a valid point - Dude..it's YOUR OPINION that he's one of the best bodybuilders of all time......you just don't like the fact that I DONT AGREE WITH YOU!! Let me ask you this...Do you think Lee is better than Robbie Robinson?? He never won an Olympia and I don't think Lee is even in his league.

Hey, man..you want to keep idolizing Lee, go ahead, but the dude is just not all that -

By they way, a man's career in his chosen profession does reflect his ability of being judged on his ranking among others in his profession over history...You are right however, his being one of the greatest of all time is an opinion...Another point, is that you are comparing two different eras of bodybuilding...You have to judge a bodybuilder based on his competative era...Lee has competed in two different eras and has still held his own...(That is fact by the way) Look at competative history above...On another note, I don't mind you don't agree with me, but you are putting alot heart into putting Lee down....

Oh my gosh, someone forgot to tell you that Lee was a huge fan of NASCAR.....Wow, are you saying a man has to tattoo whatever circuit he chooses to compete in or it doesn't make sense to you???

On a side note, Lee looked awsome at the PDI, it was just unfortunate he had no competition at all....So, no I don't respect the PDI..Yet...I was just glad to see that Lee doesn't have the same lay down tunnel vision as the rest of the IFBB pro's.....

Well...lemme see, I kinda figured he liked NASCAR if he got it tattooed on his shoulder. Does it make sense to me?? No...not really. Good thing he's not a fan of ballet, right?

The foundation for your arguement must have been set in quicksand, because you have not came back with anything valid....You bashed a successful man and all you have come up with to back yourself up is that you don't agree with his lifestyle and what he may do in his personal life......Go figure...It was entertaining though...LoL....

MD would only care if some of their advertisers were pulling out of the magazines.  Maybe the supplement companies are being pressured by the IFBB.  The IFBB has more magazines and probably exposure than MD and therefore, more leverage.

People have been saying this for the past several years, but it makes no sense.

How can a magazine dictate to the advertisers what they can and can't do when it comes to spending their own money??

they have balls when it comes to make money.

Blechman and others sharks who lead big industries are smarter than any of us, and have more balls than most of us if they achieved to lead some big companies; it takes a lot of intelligence to do that.


But they wont support someon who s not playing the game anymore; and who wants a fake "justice" nobody cares about...

I'm talking about lee priest.

He just had to stay quiet and make money... all this controversia, is pure bullshit, whoc ares about pro bodybuilding anyways... Its a drama that have no reason to exists, consdering how uninteresting it is for 99,99% of people in the world..

Thats because he suffers from personnal problems, that he ruined his chances to make easy money, thats because he thinks he is superman, that he has a "cause" to defend, that he did all this drama, because whatever he says, he did it because he wanted attention from people.

I ve seen people like him. Trying to find a good and symbolic fight just to stand out, alone against "the bad guys"...but in fact they all do it because they feel uncofrtable with themselves and need attention.
They think they are the messia, that they are martyrs ...

In fact all they are doing is ruin what they took year to build, because they stil didnt find peace of mind trhough the years and trhough doing what they love to do.

Lee priest transformed gold into crap, because he is insecure, and some people nobody cares about on some internet messageboards jumped in the bandwagon and supported him in his "fight" that makes absolutely no sens....  wow, what an achievement that deserves consdieration from the whole fucking world...


Steve blechman, weiders etc, are sharks, they are  leaders, and THEY are the guys who created with their own minds and hands their dreams. They OFFERED people who seemed to deserve it a place in their dreams, they gave their trust to some people, and some people just dont get it, just dont know how lucky they are, and feel the need to criticize and ruin it all...because of their own personal emotional troubles and traumas.

lee priest isnt someone you cant trust.  Some peope trusted in him, and for some reasons, he betrayed em, for fake and not so interesting reasons. He is unstable.

Many  bodybuilders suffer from this kind of behavior. He decided to step outside the rules, now he has to pay the price. But one would have think a grown man wouldnt make this kind of mistake.

Lee s a boy in the roided to the gills body of a mutant, but his brain still belongs to an immature 16 y/o boy.

We all know these "pro" bodybuilders just have to stick needels and train ;eat all year long, and that some people liek weider and blechman sometimes comes and give em money in exchange of photoshoots or guest posings etc... Who s the smartest guy in you opinion? imo, not the "pro" bodybuilder.

But its how it works, we all know that.

Some guys are more succesful than the others, and would never bite the hands of those who feed em (cutler, coleman ), because they know their place, where they belong to, and who offered them to live that kind of life.

Its not smart from lee priest to make some peope pay for things that dont concern em.
If lee has problems with soeciety, with the game he entered in, with the system, thats because he s immature and still didnt find his own place in this world.
But no need to pretend that he s the knight of justice fighting for all the poors bbing fans who "need" to know "the truth"...what a joke. its so pathetic.

Just go see a psychiatrist, that would solve more things than any useless controversy.

People like blechman are business men, guys like lee priest are their toy,  a muppet, because thats all he can achieve in his life, because they are smarter than him, and than any other roided retard.

Lee cant stand it anymore? OK. But why blame blechman or any other guy above him? He s the only to blame for being what he is.

They gave him oportunities, he thought he was a warrior, that he had to fight them....that he had a "mission"... yeah sure...

Its easier to atribute your own problems to the others to deny you need to work on yourself first.

Wow, I thought Sami was Black, too. 

He is....genetically..whether he is from Bahrain, doesn't mean anything...there are people of African descent there too...
But many people who are Arabs, and look black, don't want acknowledge that they are.



As far as Lee, was impressed by him, but it seems like he like to shoot himself in the foot a lot. His suspensions go back to the mid 90's. I remember in a Flex magazine "Hardtimes where they said Flex was
locked up, Lee Priest was fined...
You it seems like in any other "sport", one would have an attorney speaking for them on this issue, but bodybuilders  like Lee seem to always act like the stereotype..more muscles than brains, can't control their mouths, and then whine like bitches when things don't go right for them.

I don't feel sorry for the majority of the Bodybuilders, because most of their problems they brought upon themselves.
say what you want about Shawn Ray, the mofo knows how make a dollar out of 15 cents, whereas others can't even find lint.

It seems pretty amazing to me that MD won't want to report on the latest contest that one of their columnists was in and won, not to mention the fact that Lee has been on the cover of MD many times and is the most popular pro that the magazine has at the time. The only way that  I can rationalize this is that they think that Lee's bodybuilding career is going downhill fast and that it's not worth it to them to take extra heat for him from the IFBB.

  # how to control the water during flying? shall i carb load  during my flight?

  # is there any thing i should do befor i travel? meals or supplements!

 ++ i might looked sharper in the pre-judging but not like the show day.. but i wish i could keep the same size that when i arrived to NY.. i looked fuller and dryer....

  plz guys NO ROOM for jokes, if u can help me plz do and if not, it will be great if u save ur jokes and fun for a another time in another Thread but not this time.. i am 10days away from my show and i have enough Sh++ to look after :-\

Entirely incorrect.

Of course we call ourselves West Indian...which refers to our nationality. We are from the West Indies!

Whites, hispanics, asians...whatever...if they are from the West Indies then they will refer to themself as a West Indian.

You say not why just black? What, can white Americans only call themselves "white" - they can't add their nationality in there? You are also wrong about 'not being proud of being black'. Basically, we are just not all color obsessed like some nations. A West Indian will call themselves that, without a color prefix, as we don't in general give a piss about race.

Not trying to be rude, but that was such a ridiculous statement.

A highly negative post in general, because you can make the same arguments for almost every athlete. They use drugs now don't they?

As far as PWC's People With Causes, I agree a lot of them get invoved in a cause because they are insecure and looking for a way to belong, to become a champion, a martyr. However whats wrong with that. If you try hard enough you can find a selfish motivation in everything. We can create a new disease for everything we don't like. But think about this, if they are doing good and not hurting anybody then why are you so against them? They are helping to make things better and in my book that stands for a lot, no matter what the motivation behind it. One could say that Mother Teresa wanted to be a martyr and that Princess Diana helped the poor only for photo shoots, but why bother? They did enourmous amount of good in the world. Why are you against that?

Lee is doing something good. His motivation should be of no concern to you unless you think he will eventually use his good standing to do something evil, which I hardly think is the case. Why can't you just leave him alone, and go out and find a good cause that you can support and help make something better.

MD is not censoring the PDI!  MD has reported on the PDI in the past.  In the next issue of MD two articles appear on the PDI!

The reason I decided to change the format of Lee's column in MD is because Lee says the same things each month about the PDI that also appears on the Internet weeks before.  By the time it appears in the magazine it's old news.  The purpose of the MD website is to complement the print, not duplicate it.  These magazine columns should provide information that doesn't duplicate or appear on the Internet, such as training, diet/nutrition, tips or whatever he would like to say each month.  From the business standpoint, it only makes sense that our magazine complement our MD digital site and vice versa, and should contain its original content so we can provide the most value and not short-change our readers and fans!
