Title: New IFBB Pres Ran un-Opposed / Weider thread removed?
Post by: onlyme on October 30, 2006, 09:26:06 PM
Please don't tell me that the old man gets a little jittery cause we talk about him. Jeez Ron, whenever questions arise or issues are debated that Chic has no answers too the thread or posts get deleted.  Really if he can't stand the heat he should resign.  The IFBB stranglehold on here is ridiculous.

They reported on PBW that Rafael Santonja was the only guy who ran for Ben's position.  Very strange.  Hard to believe that nobody else among the 174 affiliated countries would run against Rafael. 

Speak on it?

Are you saying the IFBB used the discareded 2004 Ohio E-voting machines to choose their new leader?

I'm getting the cliffs notes via PM... PBW, hook a brother up with the replay already :)

You mean to tell me.....NO ONE else ran against him? Com'mon now...!

They wanted him no matter what.

I thought Chic was running? NO?

That's what I heard.  I found it rather odd.  I haven't heard the replay yet, so I dunno if it's true.

The whole IFBB is run by a "secret society" much like the Illumanati.

It's true...I did run, and was beat out by ONE SINGLE VOTE.

Out of 171 countries voting....I end up losing to Raphael 86 to 85. And who ended up costing me the Presidency? Freakin TURKEY!! Of all countries that I thought I could count on...and Turkey ends up voting the other way..!

I demand a re-count....I cry FOWL!!

You LOST to Turkey? WTF?

So, what does this mean for the IFBB? Is this a good move or a 'wait and see' move?

Enlighten us, Bob...

I believe we need a better system of accountability for why certain threads are deleted.  i never even read this one.

1) Mods should have to post a note on a long thread in 'getbig questions' board about why they kill each thread.

2) politically biased people should not have mod powers.  it is a flaw in getbig.

Of course he ran uncontended.  You think the IFBB or the Weiders would have something honest go on.  They don't even judge their contest fair you think they are going to appoint their president fair.  The first one was rigged too.  Great organization. ::)

Ron gets lots of calls if anything bad about IFBB is posted or about people who run the IFBB...So i guess he was told again to remove something...what the f u c k is this? where do we live? so much for freedom huh

Well what do you know, Issac is finally right about something.  Big deal.  Even a retard can do somethings right.  Sorry to all the retards out there for the analogy.  And I stick bymy post.  Nothing is wrong or incorrect about it, except where thepost went.  And I rarely go past the first page.

Guess that blows your 1,000th conspiracy theory, boys...

Doesn't blow anything.  Go back to the thread and answer the questions.  I'm sure by now Manion had to have given you the answers.  Inresting when you don't know the answer how you ignore it.  Or if it's true how you ignore it.  And don't make me go back and look, you do it.  And you had no idea of the new president and you know it.  Or you would have been on here 30 seconds after finding out.  You love being the person to break the news.  You have done it all along and now a big annoucement like this and you say nothing.  Dude face the facts you didn't know.  No big deal just admit it.

No guest posing for Lee till he is done spreading rumors in MD. Always talking about him and Adela. Its over man, get over it! And so he and that Mercedes fitness girl were starting to get to know each other. I guess you could call that 'dating'. But from what I heard its not like they were boyfriend and girlfriend, they didnt match so it ended right there. But of course he had to write about it. I understand though, he has nothing else going on for him to write about lol. Except for competing with amateurs in the PDI!!! ::)

as I pointed out in the other thread, he has been the executive assistant to the president for many years, meaning he's been running the day to day operations of the IFBB for quite a while.   so his 'election' means more of the same.

Well, if you're going to be a pretentious ass and fling around titles, you'd best be explaining it -ie. he better be a medical doctor, and not some honourary or nugatory degree. And I don't want to hear any nonsense about how here in Europe, such titles are used differently than in N. America.

That is an honary title given by Weider cause he probably operates the same way.  Thats why he got picked elected.  I am really surprised Chic didn't get the job.  He does everythign they say to do and more.  He has shownhis loyalty.  I demand a recount.  I think Chic might won

I charge the IFBB with making women's bodybuilding a total shambles. They have allowed various practices to be universal and they have destroyed the healthy sport we once knew. Instead of having a sport that promotes health and beauty we have this activity that is making freaks and ugliness commonplace. Get rid of all the drugs, synthol and inserts and we might be able to salvage something from what should be a fantastic sport. Gyms and fitness centers have sprung up in most suburbs in the developed world. Do we find more people involved in this sport? Well, I heard there were more competitors and spectators at one of the natural competitions in Australia a week ago. A fellow from my gym finally won a Mr Australia title and we are all very proud of his achievement. I certainly will support that group but have long ago stopped supporting Paul Graham and his efforts at promoting bodybuilding in Australia. The very fact that he was appointed 'for life' doesn't sit very well with anyone who cares about bodybuilding. What has happened in Australia is that other organizations have been formed to give bodybuilders a choice about competing and drug use.
