I think:
Lee, cause he went to the PDI
Melvin, cause not posing at the Colorado Pro

If it's the Twinlab contracts you're talking about, I got it from an insider source that Twinlab are about to fold.. You heard it here first folks
-
Twinlab....well they are going in a new direction. The best way to put it is expect less Lee Priest and more Abrocrombie and Fitch.... ;D
Twinlab is getting out of bodybuilding and right into dance clubs and raves.... ;D

that has been being said since 2003.
they were monsters in the 80's and 90's. Now, nobody carries their stuff. Twin Labs used to package all their products in glass bottles. Now its all plastic. I think that Ripped Fuel was their #1 product. The ephedra ban crushed them.

Because Lee is a wishy wahsy wierdo who rebels too much. Lee, give em the bird and open your own supplement company. Then you will have the power!

I heard it was because Lee was so short that to have a special 3' highrise stool made for him to sit on behind the booths so people could see him ;D
Just kidding Lee ;D

Lee is too short. It has been reported that Lee wears plaform shoes at all the expos and has a stair case with wheels that he carries with him for him to get up on stools and chairs. It has also been reported that Lee Dumped his Twin Lab Contract in order to star in his new smash hit movie Charlie and The Choclate Factory.

That is not the answer. It has to do with the fact Lee went to PDI. The IFBB threatened them and this is what happened or Twinlab would have nothing to do with the IFBB and ad rates would have increased. No other reason. Lee packs them in at shows. And what Lee does is nothing compared to what others have done.

Lee I can understand....but Melvin's a reallly good bodybuilder on the way up.

You would think so......... but you'd be wrong

Does this look like they were happy with you????
http://www.twinlab.com/spn-allaccess.cfm
They treated you just like you treated your ex-wife Cathy and your many girlfriend. Your time was up and they put you out on the curb along with the rest of the street trash.
By the way, say hello to Oscar the Grouch for me.

No looks as if they recognise that now they're not being paid twinlab have to remove the promotion using their identity ::)
Perhaps if it was only Lee who lost his there would be more speculation but its unlikely an improving melvin is going to get canned for "being a rebel" is it.
Sounds like money to me and it has been suggested before twinlab are in trouble.

Supplement companies are beginning to learn a cold hard fact... That just because an athlete draws a crowd to the booth doesn't mean he/she is going to sell product. The athlete needs to be more than just an attraction... they also need to be a spokesperson/salesperson who believes in and can talk about the brand and the product. They need to be willing and able to engage the consumers they draw to the booth, speak to them about the product, and answer their training, supplementation and diet questions intelligently. Ultimately the athlete is the face of the brand he/she represents and they need to remember that and speak and act accordingly... afterall thats what they are getting paid for. (Athletes - remember this, your contract is not a right of your pro status... it is a priviledge that many athletes will never get... don't lose it by being an A-hole)
Anyone on this board who has been to any show, Arnold, Olympia or local NPC show knows there are athletes who take it notches above others when working for their respective companies... Examples of good spokespeople who take time to talk to fans/consumers/amateurs and are always pleasant - Shawn Ray, Bob Cicherillo, Jay Cutler, Adela Garcia, Jen Hendershott, Tracy Greenwood and a few others. Then there are the athletes who just want to sign autographs and collect a paycheck for sitting at a booth signing their name, the same ones who bitch and complain about how long the show is or about fans asking the same question over and over (what show are you doing next?) when they think know one is listening. Then when they lose their contract, they wonder why... its about how you present and represent yourself and the company.
Having ranted more than I wanted I would just like to close by saying... this rant doesn't explain why Melvin lost his contract. Hopefully a company who fits Melvin will offer him the right deal.

Do you understand the concept of «End of Contract»?

i heard that lee gave the owner of twinlab a stone cold stunner and then punched his wife in the ovaries, then hopped in a corvette and did donuts on the guy's lawn while playing twisted sister really loud and flipping him the finger.
seriously, i have insider knowledge.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Lee did the same thing a few years back, but instead of a corvette he had an old cadillac with bull horns on the front. So this update totally fits his M.O.
