He big.

this man makes other pros look silly...Kamali should look at him and just give it up and start selling insurance or something...

One of the most impressive pros around:

Is it possible Don was relegated to outside of the top 15 at the 2006 Atlantic City Pro as a disincentive to competition by the judges due to his health issues?
Yes I think they didn't want to encourage him with a good placing. He is too much of a liability for the ifbb.
-
he looked really good, I hope he stays healthy.
-
Wonder what the IFBB will say if he collapses and dies on stage one day while posing... the guy's on dialysis and juiced to the gills.. what an idiot.
-
Major slap in the face to the one who donated their kidney to him. Jerkface even goes on stage to flaunt it. Pathetic how he emailed a bunch of promoters asking to guest pose at shows for free. Good to see one of them felt sorry for him instead of turning him down like all the others did, even if he is for FREE! Might have saved him jumping off a bridge (not that i'd care tho)
-
You gotta be kidneying me!! That's crazy for him to be looking like that!

No...it is possible, however, that Don wasn't in good enough condition to place higher...
You've got too much spare time on your hands, bro....
-
He's obviously still juicing hard. His body did reject the kidney but unlike Flex and Tom he had the sense to wait long after the fact before competing again, so it isn't as much of a slap in the face to his sister as it could have been. However, why push things when you are in a serious health state?
He did look a little washed out from pictures that I've seen whereas in his DVD he looked like he was on the road to hitting his peak perfectly, although he may have missed it.
This isn't a conspiracy, Bob. Any intelligent businessperson would sooner see their business prosper as opposed to seeing one person keep their pride. If I ran the IFBB I would see to it that Don didn't place well at the show - in that situation the benefits of doing so simply outweigh the risks.
If that was the case, they simply would have denied him the opportunity and not taken the risk....

hahaha Caveman classic? :-\

That's an easy one. In SERIOUS denial his fantasy bodybuilding "career" is over (career never really got started but u catch my drift) and will never be able to grow. Now he's asking show promoters to guestpose for free, to say: 'See? my bb career is NOT over!' while he whipes off his tears.
pathetic
-

Not exactly...
Remember, he did pass all the health requirements to enter the show. The IFBB had no choice but to let him compete as a pro bodybuilder in an open show (as is his right) or else they would risk a potential discrimination lawsuit. However, once he was in, there is no law against screwing him over at a show. This is more common sense than anything else.

Exactly.... much easier to let him compete and just place him low. No conspiracy at all, just protecting one's business.

I would say so. Although my memory did serve me correctly and it appears he was washed out at the show:
http://www.flexonline.com/06contests/06atlantic/menpre/index_4.html
I would also possibly say that he looks better in the guest posing pictures above. That being said, being outside of the top 15 was still a little much given his crazy arms and excellent back. Either way, I was happy to hear that he placed poorly as I really think Don should throw in the towel and shrink down to under 200 pounds and try to be as healthy as possible.

Bullshit....they could have easily not let him in and have every right under the rules....you're guessing...I was involved in the talks on Don's behalf...
He didn't get screwed over...he ended up placing exactly where he should have based on his physique.
-
How so? Was he not given a clean bill of healthy from his doctors?
Maybe the IFBB isn't as business savvy as I thought. If they could have denied him the ability to enter, they should have. Obviously given his health condition and reliance on dialysis, competition bodybuilding is not going to help him.
The IFBB was given assurances and also required paperwork should anything happen to Don....by his personal Dr., himself, and his family.

Yeah I figured that much, but you said they could easily have denied him, so I think that would have been the intelligent choice, to easily (presumably, legally) deny him. Nothing beneficial could have happened to the IFBB by letting him compete IMO.

In a sport where the kidney is vital, nothing good could have come of this. Long should relax and train for fun.

blowing out a kidney is kind of your body sending you a message no?

If he is on roids,He is the stupidest BBer ever. I feel sorry for the person who gave his/her kidney to him. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

He's natural.

He's natural.
He said?

He said?
lol. No, I'm just kidding. You just worded it in such a way where you made it seem as though there was a chance he was not using drugs.
-
don long's prize for the caveman...
-
If he's not drying out, AAS is more of a HELP than a hurt.
The man is a strong machine, not a weak withering fragile man.
He's gonna live longer because he's strong. Kidney function is altered by diuretics and water restriction. Don's a huge man with years of training who uses medium.
-
the vanity of that guy(don long) is ridiculous, where on earth would he be without juice?
-
LOL....Pete you are actually alot more on point than some of you other jokers..... man what a trip, if some of you guys were a fraction as smart as you think you are you would be fucking brilliant.hahaha
Don is relaxing and training and enjoying life you have to rember this is a guy who was once 300lbs he is now 250 and what is he supposed to do sit at home and feel sorry for himself??? Buy his video guys if you really want to know the story or you can continue to look at pictures and assume you know his whole situation and life story!!! ???

hi don..how the dvd sales? lagging?
-
Sorry not Don genius. I am defending him because I know the whole story and becaue I used to be a judgmental prick about his situation as well. Then once I got the whle sory my perspective was a but different.
Kevin Dehaven brother....not Don long
-
yeah..you did this too on the other board..right, he's not on the sauce...and his kidney problems had nothing to do with being on the sauce...heard this all before.
-
since no one else is going to do it ;D
-
Don long is a nice guy and a great bodybuilder. he looks unreal better than alot of pro's whoa re top tier.
if only he never had those kidney problems i truly believe he could have won an olympia.
its also amazing he is able to get back in shape after everything and look better than top tier pro's.
im sure he has everything measured healthwise, however i do confess that as a fan I am worried abit in case it could have a negative affect.
-
since no one else is going to do it ;D
shit makes me laugh everytime i see it....especially when he gets pissed in the airport--classic stuff.
-
yeah I did it on the other board...again I didnt say ever or imply ever that he was or was not on anything...I also never said anything about the cause of his kidney problems. I have merely tried to challenge those who give a shit to look into the whole story but that would require a little efort and it is much easier to be negative and judgemental. I was just like most of you at one time thats all.

the Caveman is a contest here in Missouri, they call it the Caveman because up until a couple of years ago it was held at a place called Meramac Caverns which is a cave type of museum along the Meramac River, the contrest got kicked out of there because some of the staff of the place found needles and syringes in the back pump up rooms.

Which is exactly why I suspect the IFBB could not have "easily not let him in" or risk a lawsuit. Am I wrong here? How would denying Don the right to compete have been covered under the rules?
Examples of politics: fighting a war for oil under the guise of peace and protection. Banning Canadian cattle to increase sales of American cattle and stating it is due to risks of mad cow disease. When protecting financial interest comes before protecting people, it is the correct use of the term "politics". You speak as if politics do not exist in the IFBB - ever. The truth is, they are part of some of the organization's decisions and I would assume they might have played a role in Don's placing. That said, looking at the pictures he was obviously washed out, but I still think outside of the top 15 was a little harsh. By the way, the intelligent thing to do would be to ban Don from competing if that is decision would be protected under the rules.

haha, probably for mainlining meth and coke to cut up rather than for steroids. Did you go to the contest at all?

Not necessarily true at all. Don't you know anabolic steroids are sometimes prescribed to people with kidney disease?
And if ones kidneys are totally shot and he is on dialysis steroids might actually be healthy.

But to get contest dry, the kidneys take a beating. All the manipulation in the last week of a contest can not be good for a kidney transplant individual.

Yes, but he was talking about roids.
You do not have to beat up the kidneys to be contest dry either, necessarily. Lots of times diuretics and other extreme measures just make you look worse. Talking about healthy individuals here.

He's natural.
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Some people will believe ANYHTING!

yep, the promoter of the show is a really religious "christian" type of guy too and it embarassed the shit out of him.

Why? You think it would be better for him to piss away most of his LBM?
-
A lot of good came of this choice by Don. He raised his profile immensely in the bodybuilding world. He proved that someone who is disabled can still compete. He got a supplement contract out of it. He proved he is not a has-been (or never-was, as haters would have it). It is to the IFBB's credit that the decision to let him compete was made. It was a victory for Don just to get onstage.
-

Lester promotes another show "Show Me Naturals" that obviously is a natural show. The "Caveman Classic" is open to any competitor, and from what I witnessed this year, most aren't clean.

So, this is the way you repay your sister for the kidney she donated to you? ....Yes, so you go and get back on the sauce.
You are a pathetic excuse for a man Don. Your sister gave you a second chance at life, never forget that, while you shoot another steroidal-load into your fat ass!
Your sister compromised her own health to save yours! What a sad excuse for a loving brother you have turned out to be!
Rot in chemical-hell you moustached-freak!

So you think he made the right choice then? I mean he had paperwork and all.
