Title: Vince Basile: You seem to harbour much bitterness towards Chick!
Post by: New Hank Wood on April 14, 2008, 01:02:32 AM
Vince, you are a man who has lived the bodybuilding dream.  You have run gyms and engineered new and innovative equipment.

Vince, you have an anthology of work including some of the most amazing photos from the 1980 Olympia.

My point is: You are a man who has achieved so much in life; so why are you now spending your twilight years taunting and deriding Chick? Don't you have more meaningful things to do in your life?

Has all this 'smack talk' about the Athlete's Rep come about because you are bored and lonely?  Or do you genuinely believe he is a liability to the sport?

Not hating, just interested in understanding your mindset.

Well, when chick starts calling him a pedophile it might be a bit hard to let it go frankly.

I guess Basile posts here for the same reason you do Hank. Basile has a problem with Chick, Hank has a problem with everyone because he is a complete idiot.

Hope this helps.

Yes, Chick has certainly been brutal when it comes to describing Vinces private life.

Chick has called Vince many names, some i wont even repeat on the boards.

I decided to post on Getbig and have a go against the flotsam who post here. Most guys my age wouldn't dream of posting here. I have a gym and interact with young guys all the time. So I can handle myself as far as debating goes. Bob has personally attacked me and I have a right to defend myself against his continued attack. It is pathetic to read the nasty statements he made about me. Sure, this is Getbig and many say awful things here. I would have thought Bob was above that sort of thing. It appears he must be feeling vulnerable because he is very defensive.

Bob tries to dismiss others by any means he can. I feel I have an obligation to keep the IFBB officials honest. Especially a confederate who was appointed to his position by his mate. That smacks of jobs for the boys. Bob uses personal attacks to dismiss anyone who posts opposing views to his own. I mean, why all the political bullshit from him about a union job? He is one of the backroom boys and just a patsy for others. I detest those who represent the drug culture in the sport. They have ruined the sport and I wonder if it can be resurrected? I will campaign for drug testing and honest contests. Why the IFBB doesn't test for drugs is a mystery. Well, we all know why they don't. However, that is just not good enough and they have to accept the responsibility of the damage they are doing to the athletes and sport. Who is responsible for the sham called Womens bodybuilding? Enough said.

Funny thing is, you can dish it out but you can't take it....YOU are the one who started the name calling and being incredibly disrespectful..I responded in kind. I'll callenge you to go back and find any post where I just started attacking YOU for no reason...as for name calling... you're the KING of it, Basile....for the very reasons you list...you can't compile an intelligent argument, because you don't have the info neccessary...you ask questions, I give you the answer (which you don't like) then proceed to call me names because you're stuck. You convieniently ignore any fact I present, and then just go on to some rant which is obscure and has nothing to do with the topic....

Notice how I respond in kind to the posts and the people asking the questions, act like an asshole, get treated like one....speaking of being "above"...you should follow your own advices...a man of your age and experience should conduct himself a little better...you act like the 16 year old goofs on here, and come off like a bitter, old has been that never was.

Logging on to GetBig to find find you posting some diatribe about Lee Priest, Vince Basile, Shawn Ray, or whoever your latest victim could be is commonplace.

Vince your passion for the sport cannot be denied. 

Vince, you believe that 'changes' are needed in order for this sport to survive.  My question is; how do you propose to make these changes?

Vince, by coming on here and continually attacking Bob is not going to bring about change in the IFBB.  You know that, i know that.

...and come off like a bitter, old has been that never was.

Vince's point is probably that if it weren't for the drugs, he would have won more contests and wouldn't be, as some call him, a "has-been".  He decided not to do them, and isn't one of the ones either dead or in marginal health at a young age.

Bullshit...Basile used steriods just like everyone else did back then. He wasn't good enough WITH them, thus the chip on the shoulder, bitter old man syndrome.

Vince is in the progress of contacting media outlets about Drug Abuse in IFBB Pros and how the IFBB is one of the very few Sports orgs that support drug use by NOT testing any of the Pros and rewarding them with cash and sponsorship.

Title: Re: Vince Basile: You seem to harbour much bitterness towards Chick!
Post by: Vince B on April 14, 2008, 06:05:14 PM
Bob is on the defensive so lashes out. Ron joins the thread and reports that I do in fact call Chick names. Well, I am telling it like it is. Chick is a patsy for the Pro League and the IFBB. Can anyone imagine how pathetic bodybuilding must look to others not in the Irongame?

Anyone who has been around since the 1950s would have read the editorials of Peary Rader, Bob Hoffman, Joe Weider, Oscar Heidenstamn, and Bob Kennedy. These men had a vision for the sport and it wasn't what the sport has become now. I can't believe the sport needs a pro athletes rep. I can't believe that rep needs to be appointed. I can't accept that this rep explains how the athletes have a choice to use drugs and substances to compete at the highest level. Since when is that what the sport is all about?

The truth is bodybuilding has been a sham since goodness knows when. At least since the mid 1950s when Dianabol appeared in pharmacies. Who knows if some used testosterone back then? I started training in January 1959 and didn't try steroids until about March 1970. I took 2 Dianabol tablets a day for about 3 months. I got a bit stronger and filled out a bit, especially in the pecs. I tried Dianabol about 3 or 4 times in my career but never for any length of time. I concluded it helped a bit but there was no way I was going to be huge like Arnold and Sergio.

Contrast what I did with what is occurring today. Steroids are now a banned substance and the drug protocols are absolutely insane that the pros use. The women also abuse steroids and other drugs and look what has become of that sport. Bizarre, crazy, ugly and dangerous are words that come to mind.

When I began bodybuilding I was acutely aware that our sport was always knocked for one reason or another. I clearly saw that lifting weights was an assest for sports and I lived to see weight training accepted in sport and by the public. However, there remains a charge of extremism that cannot be denied. Who today can be proud of what is occurring in the sport? Would anyone want a son, friend or relation to aim at being a professional bodybuilder? The answer is a painful, "NO!" because it is no longer about building one's body but obtaining a shape and size by any means available. Competitors in open comps now need a drug adviser to know what to take and what to avoid. If we examine the men closely it is obvious almost all pros have had gynocomastia and other side effects. Instead of presenting with a healthy look, most appear bizarre with cuts accompanied by bloated midsections. Gone is the day when heroes like Steve Reeves could boast about his handsome appearance and excellent health.

I am all too aware of how the IFBB operates. I have personally witnessed how they recruit loyal associates and use rewards and punishments to keep members in line. There is no bodybuilding in the Olympics and today it is an embarrassment to even appear to be a champion. Well, I extend my congratulations to natural athletes, but I wonder how many resist the temptation to take substances when the gains stop? Why would a champion inject substances into muscles to win a competition? Whatever that quest is it is not bodybuilding.

I would prefer to debate hypertrophy training and design better training equipment than debate with Sophists like Bob Chick. As a philosopher, I am mystified why the sport has needed an apologist to defend the IFBB. The constitution of the IFBB looks good on paper but it is not followed and their rules and code of conduct is an ad hoc affair. Some rules are enforced while others are discarded. That is no way to operate a sport. Elections are necessary to provide accountability and fairness to everyone. We have witnessed some appalling decisions in professional bodybuilding contests. While we accept that beauty contests are always going to be controversial that shouldn't happen to a sport where standards have evolved and judging processes are applied in an acceptable manner.

I was absolutely amazed to visit Bodybuilding Com and see for myself what happened in the 2006 Masters contest staged in NY. I personally know Steve W. I mean, does he allow Bev to reply to emails? Talk about a controlling individual. I saw the report at one contest in New York where Steve stood up and challenged the audience! What the hell was that? Is this man now a big official in the IFBB? I shake my head. If he is then I am not surprised at what has happened to bodybuilding. The appointed officials all know how to play the game and remain loyal to those who appointed them. Bob C is but a pawn in this Pavlovian game where everyone knows what is required to get ahead in the sport.

Getbig is an interesting place. Ron suggests that I call some names. I wonder if Ron is part of the problem in bodybuilding. I mean, why should an owner of a discussing board allow others to call people names like pedophile? That is beyond the pall. Sure, the moderators remove such comments if you object to them and report them when they are made. When someone like Bob Chick suggests that I look like a pedophile then that is going way too far. I leave that comment up because I want others to see what happens to anyone who criticizes the IFBB. To hell with the corrupt IFBB. We have had to endure corrupt contest after contest. This happens in the major contests and at the local level. There were allegations made against officials in Asia. There have been charges made against officials in Australia. What does the IFBB do? They eliminate the 'problem' but keep their loyal officials and vice-presidents. It is a sham. Forthright guys who should be congratulated risk being marginalized, tarred and feathered, or banned from the sport.

If we look at what happened to Lee Priest then it is clear the IFBB is not a friend of bodybuilding. One outspoken guy after another gets booted out or silenced in one way or other. The list is growing. The first victims were guys like Sergio and Serge. Mike Mentzer was not allowed to win the Olympia. They were independent thinkers and a risk to the sport. So they were made outcasts and eliminated from the sport. Bev Francis was never allowed to win the Ms Olympia no matter what she did. I find it incredible that Steve is now part of the system that treated his wife so badly thoughout her career.

We have a former criminal who used to live with Arnold still running and promoting contests in Australia. There is no way to remove Paul Graham because he gets advice to change the name of his organization and the IFBB still accepts only Paul as the vice-president in Australia. There are no open elections. Talk about corruption! Why should any decent bodybuilding fan want to associate with guys like Paul? I stay far away from him and this crazy sport.

Anyway, most guys here on Getbig cannot read more than a couple of sentences so will accuse me of blabbing on and on. I won't be intimidated by Bob Chick or anyone else. I can stand up to jerks like Goatboy so can easily debate with stooges and the flotsam here. I recognize that there are plenty of intelligent guys here but most default to keeping things light and amusing. That is why Goodrum has become the fall guy. He entertains like no one else.

I lose all respect for bodybuilding in 1997 when Nasser clearly won the Mr Olympia and they gave it to a guy with torn muscles and a disgusting, vomit inducing stomach and removed racist tattoos.

After that I still follow the sport but not respect like I did. The best physique did not and does not win.

Let's face if folks, if we can't get popular champion and representative, Bob Chick, to honour the IFBB rules and code of conduct then the cause is lost. If he still accepts that drugs are OK in this sport as long as it is 'not obvious' then we are doomed to remain an underground cult, complete with bizarre practices, morals and language.

It is brutally obvious that Bob is deeply entrenched in the acceptance of sordid practices such as steroids and injecting substances that he cannot represent the clean side any longer. I understand that. So he defends to the death his stature and that of his mates who he represents. I wonder if JM and BW would inject themselves with these dangerous substances and drugs? Makes you wonder. So the people who run the sport are hardly practicing professionals. That would be too much to ask.

So along comes upwardly mobile Bob C looking for validation and he found it via the IFBB. Fixed contests, crooked judging, placings for mates, the whole 9 yards. Bob cannot speak openly from his heart. He owes too many people, without whom he would be just another dude hoping to win a show. Bob has lived part of the American dream and has a nice home and family. Clearly he cannot risk what he has to change what provided so much to him. Good luck to Bob. He at least is consistent and thus can initiated nothing of value regarding major changes in the IFBB. What we need is a paradigm shift back to the health and fitness days of the 1940s up until Hercules Unchained about 1959. After that things changed for the worse and have descended rapidly ever since. Bob is the obviously partner in the current decline but, naturally, voices that he is completely and utterly innocent of all charges. Surely that stand makes him eligible for the Goodrum Delusional Award.

Not quite sure there is a "cause"...and by who, exactly?

It will always be a "cult" sport for the simple reason that mainstream has never embraced it, and never will...making it "clean" as you will...would not make it any more acceptable, just lighter and smaller "freaks" that won't appeal...like the old days. If this had any merrit, the natural shows would have taken over by storm years ago, and th drug infested BB shows, athletes wouyld have long since dissappeared...

I've got news for you...I don't need the IFBB to make a living, hence, your view is wrong. I still speak my mind and make for change on a routine basis...

Things have been descending "rapidly" since 1959?? 50 years and still sinking, huh?

Speaking of delusional..I'm not the one longing for Steve Reeves to make a omeback and save BB as we know it...you are. I'm a realist...I deal with the here and now, with whats going on in the current state of professional bodybuilding...The "good 'ol days" weren't always so good, as evidenced by the chip on the shoulder, bitter outlook of MANY of the "olden era" bodybuilders. They look back fondly....on their training, on their friends...not so much when it comes to the $0 they were making. They did it for themselves and the love of the iron, not the "business of bodybuilding" that motovates many these days...big difference.

Truly delusional is believing that drug testing the athletes would do anything but make an already small and under the radar sport like BB, even smaller, less interesting, and out of business....sorry, Basile..."physical Culture" aint making a comeback any more than the roaring 20's, the buggy whip, or the Maguire Sisters...

of course...I'm sure you cut a mean jig, invented it, and dated one.

Well, Bob, I appreciate you candid comments. However, I feel your conclusion is false because your premises contain falsehoods.

The biggest change that has occurred re the public is that they accept resistance training. There are many fold more gyms than even 20 years ago. In Australia we have big gym chains that have good facilities and thousands of members. Surely the fans are out there. However, the drugs are not considered fair or part of sport. So the public stay away in droves.

Up until about 1990 most champions denied they took steroids. Some still probably deny it. However, when young kids blurt out that they use steroids then it has filtered down to them and the public rightly rejects the cult because of the association of drugs. If the contests were strictly judged and also a few times in the off season then the champions would have validity.

Recall that the media showed the Olympia in the good old days. Why do they not do so today? Well, clearly they cannot be associated with a group of individuals and sport that allows doping and goodness knows what else. Because of the lax enforcement of rules the Ms Olympia and other pro women's contests have just about evaporated. The Olympia survives because it is staged with the men. The IFBB and all officials must accept the blame for what has resulted from their non-testing of banned substances and practices.

I want the champions to be the epitome of physique which includes health. Perhaps more weight should be placed on aesthetics instead of conditioning in contests? That would do wonders for the sport and especially the women.

It just isn't good enough to rationalize the current practices and then claim it is OK because only a few participate or are fans. That is never going to promote the sport.

Because of the lax enforcement of rules the Ms Olympia and other pro women's contests have just about evaporated. The Olympia survives because it is staged with the men. The IFBB and all officials must accept the blame for what has resulted from their non-testing of banned substances and practices.

I want the champions to be the epitome of physique which includes health. Perhaps more weight should be placed on aesthetics instead of conditioning in contests? That would do wonders for the sport and especially the women.

It just isn't good enough to rationalize the current practices and then claim it is OK because only a few participate or are fans. That is never going to promote the sport.

No question about it...there are many more gyms and many more people lifting weights...and just as many people interested in competitive bodybuilding than 20 years ago. Just because more people are aware of the benefits of weightlifting, doesn't mean they wish to look like a BB, or are interested in watching/ supporting it.

They did show the Olympia on network TV back in the day..and the results came back, and no one watched it, and it never returned. RATINGS were the reason, not the drugs, or testing...just as few people would have watched if they drug tested and put billboards around town with the results...

I lose all respect for bodybuilding in 1997 when Nasser clearly won the Mr Olympia and they gave it to a guy with torn muscles and a disgusting, vomit inducing stomach and removed racist tattoos.

After that I still follow the sport but not respect like I did. The best physique did not and does not win.
DIDNT He have a weak back vs dorians sure they were toe to toe, but one part stood out betwen the two guys and it was obviously dorians back...

Without doing studies re attitudes, etc., no one can say for sure why bodybuilding isn't popular.

I remember when just about everyone believed that musclemen were musclebound. They believed big muscles slowed you down. Ben Johnson disproved that theory forever. Some champions can do the splits and are good athletes. Most athletes do weight training to improve performance.

I remember that many believed musclemen were knuckleheads. Thus, the saying about being all brawn. Arnold disproved that in a big way. However, the sport might classify as an exception and therefore the rule persists. There were many intelligent, educated guys involved in the sport.

I remember when many believed musclemen were homosexuals and mirror athletes. That is not true. 30 years ago psychiatry classified homosexuality as a mental disorder. Clearly, most people can get things wrong. Some champions are homosexual but the majority, I believe, are straight.

It might take a lot of work to get bodybuilding accepted by the public. The point is they have a good reason to reject musclemen now because of the drugs. I mean, why should they admire guys and girls who use those drugs to obtain the physiques they display? The answer: they shouldn't.

You're missing the basic premise....people don't know if an athlete is taking drugs or not...they are looking at a physique. They may believe he's taking drugs due to his level of muscularity, but it's irrelevant. They either like what they see, or they don't. As stated previously...why aren't natural shows, orgs and athletes reverred and all over the place, accepted with open arms by the public? Answer: because no one cares that they've built their physique "naturally" anymore than they would care to see slower sprinters, smaller football players, etc...

The biggest change that has occurred re the public is that they accept resistance training. There are many fold more gyms than even 20 years ago. In Australia we have big gym chains that have good facilities and thousands of members. Surely the fans are out there. However, the drugs are not considered fair or part of sport. So the public stay away in droves.


The majority of the public have stayed away from the sport since it's earliest days and will continue do so. It's nothing to do with whether or not steroids are cheating it's because they don't understand it - no finish line to cross, no knock out punch etc..
I don't know what it's like in Australia but the majority of people who use steroids in the UK don't go to shows, don't buy bodybuilding magazines and never go to shows.

You know, with stars like Arnold and Bob out there why shouldn't the public accept this sport?

It is not valid to argue that because natural contests are poorly attended that the top shows will be, too, if competitors were natural. That is a fallacy for sure. Nobody knows what the potential for acceptance is if done properly.

The public have some idea of what is going on because they see various huge champions on TV from time to time promoting shows, etc. Therefore, the amateurs are not viewed as representing the epitome of the sport. The Mr Olympia is the top show. So what happens there or is allowed there makes all the difference in the world.

Imagine if Arnold could boast that his shows are thoroughly drug tested? Why shouldn't he be able to up the prize money for that show? IFBB regulations, again, designed to keep the Olympia as the premier show. Arnold lied when he claimed that shows are drug tested and even in the off season. That was balderdash and politically correct bullshit. Arnold should do something and is in a position to do something. I imagine maybe he thinks like Bob Chick and feels it would be a step backwards to do that testing and see reduced athletes. So what, I say! Make this an honest sport and then go out and promote it. We have no idea how popular it can be. Everyone who has built a large physique knows that kids and most people respect him. If our muscles are built with hard work then it can be accepted. The plain truth is that a well-built physique is an excellence in humans. Aesthetics, size, shape and so on can generate a wonderful ideal for everyone to aspire to. No one will respect that ideal if the only way to obtain it is to use drugs, inject substances and have surgery to remove side effects. We got what we deserve in this sport and we deserve what we got.

If Bob is unable to fathom this reality then he should vacate his position and stand down from representing the professionals in his sport. He is bringing the sport shame by arguing to maintain the status quo.

It wasn't accepted when it WAS built without anabolics (alledgedly)....at least the perception was there, to no avail.

The less of a "sporting event" it is...the less people are interested in watching it, or following it....same goes for cliff diving,strongman, weightlifting or Bowling, or horseshoes, darts, etc.

In 1959 Steve Reeves was a huge star on the screen. Millions of young men were inspired by his physique. In those days only a few went to gyms so no one knows the potential the sport might have if promoted properly as fitness health and physique show. The crowds come for the expos so no one can say bodybuilders aren't popular. Magazine editors have scratched their collective heads of decades trying to figure out how to promote the sport. There is a way to do it. We might not have found it but the potential is huge and should be harvested by marketers. No one can market the current crop of drug users.

That is the bottom line, Chick, there is no debate about this at all. When you can have medical, sports, and academic people respecting what we do then we will have respect. No one deserves respect if he is using drugs to build his physique.

You know, I have been affected by these threads. I am going to give my Mr Canada trophy to my ex. She has helped me heaps in the past and still runs my gym for me.  It means very little to me and is getting tarnished sitting under some junk in my factory.

Wrestling is loaded with the "current crop of drug users", yet, manages to draw thousands of fans to EVERY arena they come to...every PPV...a BILLION dollar venture....because there is ACTION to be followed...it's interesting and exciting to watch.

Bob, I am now going to speak to you as a teacher and father. I have a certificate as a group guidance teacher in BC. When your children grow up you will have to eventually tell them about Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. There is no Easter Bunny, either. Well, think of how naive kids are and how they like heroes and want to grow up and be like them. Would you sincerely encourage your son or daughter to aspire to be Mr or Ms Olympia knowing what is required today? I should hope that you would never encourage any kid to cheat and use banned substances. That is just not the way to bring up kids.

There is an ideal that many have achieved naturally and this is what kids should aspire to. There is beauty in the human body and developed muscles increase that beauty in both sexes. However, when distorted bodies result from drug abuse then there can be no ideal relating to those people.

Embrace the drug rules of the IFBB as if you were arguing for all kids out there. No one should have to take drugs or inject substances to be a bodybuilding champion.

Post by: Vince B on April 15, 2008, 12:15:34 AM
The success of wrestling is not quite relevant to bodybuilding. There are similarities but quite different objectives.

Imagine that if Arnold decided to really put bodybuilding on the map and promoted his own shows outside the IFBB. Suppose he sponsored his own shows out of the goodness of giving back to bodybuilding some of what it gave him. Suppose he got others to help with his show.

Imagine if he raised the prize money to 5 million dollars with Mr ASC receiving $1,000,000 plus prizes such as a watch and hummer, etc. Can anyone imagine the prestige of winning that show? Suppose he insisted that all competitors have to be naturals and will be tested on 3 occasions prior to the contest at random times? The competitors also had to pass a lie detector test.

Along with the fitness champions he would instantly have the premier bodybuilding show in the world. Maybe he could make a rule that you can win the title and prizes only once? That would open up the competition and keep it interesting. No need to duplicate the staleness of the Olympia and the reputations that were hard to defeat. What we need is a clean sweep by someone who can rise above what everyone else is doing. Arnold could direct DEA to every open contest in America and make sure there are no drug cheats there. This is all doable.

In the meantime, funds can be directed to research to make discoveries in exercise science that will make steroids unnecessary. Perhaps there are shortcuts but we haven't found them yet.

If such a prestigious contest were held I am sure the public would be interested. It would generate a lot of interest because of the prize money. Nothing like a winner becoming an instant millionaire to make something worthwhile.

If we dream then everything is possible. If we hide our heads in the sand and proclaim that no one is interested in our cult sport then no one will bother because the practices are against what everything stands for. Ben did the hard work coming up with the rules and codes. They should be followed or changed to make them viable and worth following.

Vince, you have been on this 'cause' for a long while now. 

Your ideas regarding the Arnold Pro are interesting.  I agree, offering large prize money is bound to create interest among 'many a natural'.

Vince, where is the 'starting point' for such a venture though?  How can a 'drug free' sport be realistically achieved?

Vince McMahon was on the right track with his WBF (albeit the drugs) and look what happened there!

I just don't know what can be done to save this sport from the overt drug abuse, corrupt officials and blatant double standards.

Anyway, i admire your passion Vince.

I think you have to make the decision of never going to another Pro IFBB contest and stick to natural 180 pound guys contests.

Sitting in the audience of a natural show would make me puke, Imagine guys on gear sitting in the audience outweighing guys on stage by 100 pounds.

Honestly wake up to reality Bodybuilding would die a slow death if Drugs were removed from Pro Bodybuilding.

Chick has made some good points, and while he may be too canny and glib for your liking, he has presented a stronger more 'realistic' paradigm for bb'ing than you.  I would like to abolish organized religion but I fancy my chances are, given what I know about people(farkin' people!), slim to none.

Steroids and drugs are just as big in pro wrestling, guys have huge builds, and 99.9% of people THINK they are using steroids...yet, they are on prime time TV, sell million dollar PPV cards, sell out arena's on a weekly basis, and their fan base is 75% kids...

Doesn't seem to make a difference, does it?

Bob is 100% right on this one...  drugs have nothing to do with bb's lack of mainstream acceptance.  Every other sport is drugged-up, everyone knows it, and no one (outside of soccer moms and congressmen) cares.

Bodybuilding is not accepted because:

1) As a spectator sport, it's about as exciting as watching paint dry.

2) The whole thong/oil/routine thing is percieved by the public as very gay (rightly so).

3) The "meathead" stereotype still exists in the minds of the general public, and many of the things IFBB pros and national-level competitors do don't help at all.

What we need is a clean sweep by someone who can rise above what everyone else is doing. Arnold could direct DEA to every open contest in America and make sure there are no drug cheats there. This is all doable.

In the meantime, funds can be directed to research to make discoveries in exercise science that will make steroids unnecessary. Perhaps there are shortcuts but we haven't found them yet.

If such a prestigious contest were held I am sure the public would be interested. It would generate a lot of interest because of the prize money. Nothing like a winner becoming an instant millionaire to make something worthwhile.

If we dream then everything is possible. If we hide our heads in the sand and proclaim that no one is interested in our cult sport then no one will bother because the practices are against what everything stands for. Ben did the hard work coming up with the rules and codes. They should be followed or changed to make them viable and worth following.  

Problem is arnold takes 1 mill just to show up at the arnold. He aint given back shit, hes still taken

epic lack of comprehension skills!!

epic lack of sentence structure...

Bob, I have given you grief in the past about your views, but in the end you are right. You have to sell a product that the people want. You really can't argue with that. Society has changed from the 1950s and 1960s. The culture, dress, sports, vernacular, and even food has changed. There is excessive designer drug use in baseball, basketball, and football in our modern time. Why should bodybuilding be any different? Being 200 pounds was once big in football, lets see how a 200 pound linebacker does now in the NFL. You can extend this same analogy to bodybuilding. There is no point of hating on Bob, he is just accepting bodybuilding for what it is, and milking it for all he can  ;D


cheers,

Post by: Vince B on April 15, 2008, 04:38:25 PM
It is relevant...almost to a "T". You believe that steroids are the reason that BB is not accepted my the mainstream, and why kids don't look up to BBers, or aspire to be one. Steroids and drugs are just as big in pro wrestling, guys have huge builds, and 99.9% of people THINK they are using steroids...yet, they are on prime time TV, sell million dollar PPV cards, sell out arena's on a weekly basis, and their fan base is 75% kids...

Doesn't seem to make a difference, does it?

Face it...bodybuilding is not that exciting. They got it on prime time TV...for 5 seconds...it tanked in the ratings never to return.

I am not buying this argument. That many of the top wrestlers used drugs might be true but I doubt the public thinks about this. Why? Well, the bodies might be part of the entertainment but wrestlers are characters and do moves, many of which are high risk, athletic tricks. The persona and arsenal of tricks is far more important that sheer size. That little Mexican Mercurio didn't need big muscles or size to be a star.

Bodybuilders are totally what they look like. If the reason for this excellence is cheating via drugs and injected substances plus a painted on tan and surgery to remove cysts then who out there should admire and respect them? The public isn't buying it. What has happened to women' bodybuilding is so extreme that even most male bodybuilders do not find them acceptable or attractive. When women lose their sex appeal and facial beauty they can hardly blame anyone for rejecting that sport. When most male viewers would not want to look like the champions then it will be difficult to sell the sport to the public. We know how the public doesn't understand how different bodybuilders look under those posing lights and after shedding fat to show the definition and separation. However, there should be a way to present the bodybuilders in a better light. Maybe contests have to be held outside in the sunshine? I am just throwing some ideas out there. If people view us as being ugly while posing under lights then perhaps we should change our presentation.

The media comes down hard on anyone who is caught using steroids. We have seen that in bike riding, athletics, baseball, and even football. I am amazed that the Olympic weightlifters pass the drug test but some do not. That is why offseason testing is required and also a polygraph. Cheaters must be banned for life. There should be no exceptions. Only then will the playing field be level. Marion Jones was stripped of her medals because she cheated. What everyone concludes is that she can't run that fast or jump that far without those drugs. Therefore, she didn't deserve to win and whoever she beat takes her place. She loses all the respect and admiration she earned over a spectacular career. The same thing happened to Ben Johnson. A pity so many cheaters got away with it because they used substances like growth hormone which wasn't detectable. The women's 100 metre record is probably a suspect one as is the 400 done in 1988 in Canberra by an East German. Cheaters have prospered but they have also damaged the sport.

If it is true that professional bodybuilders would be nowhere as big as they are without those drugs then they don't deserve to be admired, respected, or rewarded. If the public knew the drug protocols and that these guys inject substances into muscle to make them larger then the game is over. The test for public acceptance is simple: let sports medicine doctors examine the athletes to see if they respect them. If not then no one should respect those pros.

I honestly cannot comprehend why Bob cannot see this. I suppose those who get to the elite professional level these days have had to cheat for years and so they do not think it is bad. Heck, I used a few bottles of Dianabol in the seventies and I don't feel good about it at all. It is possible to get big without using drugs or supplements.

The magazines in our sport used to be rather thin. We used to read them from cover to cover because the content wasn't much. Compare that to the thick issues we have today. Why are they so thick? Well, supplement companies are trying to sell their products to people who read those magazines. Can anyone imagine the potential market just for supplements if bodybuilding was totally natural? It could be at least 10 fold what it is now and maybe many times that. Bodybuilding com is sponsoring webcasts so maybe it isn't impossible to do that sort of thing?

Your arguments are circular and make no real sense!  Chick, on the other hand, has coherently backed up his argument with logic and consistency.

Vince, why do you continually insult the intelligence of people on this board? Maybe it is you who is really the 'flotsam'.  Maybe it is you who is the pseudo philosopher; with no real true and tangible answers.

Vince, you continually gloat about your educational superiority and worldly achievements.  My question is; If you are so at peace with yourself, why then are you coming on here 'running people down' and 'rambling on and on' like some disturbed Alzheimer's patient?

Vince, i think you should start showing a little more respect for people on this board.  Afterall, it is the people that make the board not the other way around.

The starting point is to get the internet spokesman for the professionals and the IFBB to acknowledge that steroids and injecting substances should play no part in bodybuiding. His arguments that bodybuilding is boring and a subculture are lame. We are talking about ethics here and using drugs and injecting oil is not bodybuilding. How hard is this to understand? Those drugs make the sport a sham and those who use them cheaters.

I hope this helps but Bob is coming across as a rather stubborn bloke who is defending his practices to the death. Clearly he is part of the problem and must be exposed and then removed from having anything to do with bodybuilding. He clearly senses this threat so attacks me any way he can. If I 'win' this debate then Bob is reduced to a cheater and apologist. Most of us already accept he is the stooge for the IFBB.

Cheaters who are exposed do not profit. Why an appointed official is not against banned drugs and substances is the real worry. Can you imagine any spokesman for any other sport talking like Bob? It is unthinkable. The cheating is ignored and even rewarded. The system is corrupt and has to be exposed and replaced.

Bodybuilding in the IFBB is not seen to be ethical because there is corruption and cheating going on. There was controversy in Asia and a vice-president accused of impropriety. The IFBB sorted that out by punishing the whistle blower. Can anyone honestly say they admire what is happening to professional bodybuilding? Those of us who can see the mess need to speak up because the sport has been run by self-serving, incompetent and ruthless people for too long. Enough is enough.

By your own admission you abused Dianabol.  Thanks to steroids you went on to become Mr. Canada; can you see the hypocrisy and double standards in your argument?

So, just because you have repented your use of these substances (oh, i forgot, they were 'legal' back then) you can now 'carry the torch' for a drug free sport? Nothing more irritating than a born-again!

Do something Vince.  Become the whistle blower!

but the IFBB clearly see little value in having anything to do with attaining any sort of integrity in this sport.

You're right, Basile...they SHOULD have no part in bodybuilding...but they do. Just like they have a part in EVERY sport known to man. If there is competition, there is a competitor looking to win, and an advantage...just like you did Basile. I guess morals and ethics didn't exsist back then, right? You had no problem taking steroids to get an advantage, just like the other guys you were competing against.

I get a kick out of old timers like yourself who NOW try and wax philosophical, and "do as I say, not as I did" mentality.....

Maybe if the "pioneers of the sport" like yourselves did the right thing then, and practiced what you preached, instead of being th biggest hipocrites on the planet...perhaps you wouldn't have laid the foundation and provided the blueprint for the future generations of competitive bodybuilders....by using steroids. Look in the mirror if you're looking for a reason the sport is where it is.

As a former PE teacher and now gym owner I am ashamed that I needed to take steroids to win a national title. I met up with Hans Gensow a few years ago and he was disgusted that I took drugs. The look on his face made me ashamed I used anything. Hans was one of the guys who inspired me in Kamloops to start bodybuilding. He and Eric Frolek were from Germany and made a big impression with their natural physiques in that town. They were good athletes and looked like Adonis and Hercules at Riverside Park.

You, Bob, on the other hand are not ashamed of using drugs and perhaps you injected substances into muscles to enhance them. That seems to be a widespread practice to get the rear delts, calves and other muscles bigger. That is the opposite of bodybuilding.

In my day it wasn't illegal to use steroids but boy was it cheating. No one admitted to using in those days because it was so unethical. That is why insiders kept knowledge to themselves and as long as everyone there was using they wouldn't dob in the others. Those of us who tried and tried to get as big as the top guys eventually gave up because the gap was too wide. You have to realize that Sergio, Arnold and Casey Viator were contemporaries of mine and what huge guys they were. Did drugs give them some of their size? Well, we will never know what contributed precisely to their physiques. They still stand out today for being big guys. The rest of us looked on in awe but most of us were reluctant to try steroids because of the risk of getting side effects like cancer. No one in those days knew what the long term effects would be so it was like playing Russian roulette and not title or trophy was worth that risk. I read about steroids in the professional journals and there was no conclusively evidence that they worked. We heard that anecdotedly they did make one stronger and bigger. If you were really strong or big people suspected that maybe you were secretly using steroids.

Eventually there comes a time in a career when the hard decision has to be made about trying shortcuts to get larger. I pity the current champions because if what many are telling us it is downright dangerous and thus insane to fool around with that many drugs at such high dosages. To actually inject substances into muscles to make them larger is the end of bodybuilding as far as I am concerned. How can that practice be justified?

I can see that Bob is trying to maintain his dignity and credibility but he cannot hope to do that. Look at the trouble he goes to in threads that mention drugs. He loves to get the last quip in thinking he is impressing the guys here. Well, if these guys are drug users then he is defending all of them so gets some support.

Bob, do yourself a favour and disassociate yourself from the professionals. Oh, I know your income might be in jeopardy. Anyway, nice thought. It would be a real pity if the house of professional bodybuilding came crashing down in a big sordid heap.

I am not a reformed user. I merely disclosed what I did. There is no pride in using drugs to augment a physique.

I now know enough to not have to use steroids and still build a large physique.

My charges re modern bodybuilding stand tall and proud. I am fair dinkum about this and guys like Bob are doing cartwheels trying to dodge the damage.

Bob is right the problem with BB is not the drugs or the lack of exposure, its the fact that it is boring as hell to watch.  I mean really you seen one big ass pro BB you seen em all.  Man Im into it and find myself bored to tears watching the shows.  If you have a good seat the figure girls can make it interesting though.

It has a small cult following and that is OK, probaly better off that way.

Bob, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

I am innocent of all charges and you know it.

I disclosed that I took 2 Dianabol tablets a day for about 2 months then off for a month then another cycle. That was it. I did this three times in my career.

Now I dare you to disclose what you took in your career. I won't hold my breath.

You are inocent of nothing...you're just as big a hipocrite as other Golden age BBers that talk about how they "Just took a little, or manage to convieniently downsize what dosages they took....please....

You were merely one small cog in what was then "modern BBers" who took it to the next level....no different than what todays versions have done.

Bob, I have to give you points for aggression. You sure know how to attack others.

The important thing is what guys like you say who represent the professionals. Can you be as honest as I am and disclose your involvement with steroids and other banned substances? I realize that today those drugs are illegal in your country so it would take a brave person to speak out. Did you take steroids to prepare for any of your contests? It is almost scandalous to even ask, isn't it, Bob? Well, speak out as a moral agent and not as a pro athletes rep. You did say that you are not afraid to voice your opinion.

The truth is the sport is a mess because guys like Bob Chick are running it. Oh, he might claim he is just a rep but he is one of the backroom boys because he has a vote of the pro committee.

Bob obviously cannot clean up the sport so he attacks anyone who says that is what should be done. If he did take plenty of banned substances to help him build himself up then he has no moral standing whatsoever because the argument he is using against me must apply to him as well. That makes Bob the epitome of an hypocrite.

The sport is a mess because guys like you STARTED it.....off on the wrong foot.

Speaking of points, you're missing it, as usual....I could give a shit what the guys are taking, or not taking...in any sport. People want to pay to see the BEST...and in our sport...the freaks... Not marginal, not "OK", not pretty good.

You think the sport would/ could be 10X the size it is now if the athletes were drug tested....that's laughable at best. I've already provided numerous examples as to why, you just choose to bury your head in trying to be "right" and win the argument, instead of taking it out of the sand and facing reality of modern day BB....just as YOU GUYS progressed from those before you, so did the guys in tyhe 80's, 90's and 2000's....bigger, more muscular and more detailed.

I wonder if the founders of BB hated YOU just as much for taking the integrity out of the sport and resorting to drugs instead of hard work and discipline...lack of moral and ethical sense,etc.....

As to what I've taken....real simple....what I believed neccessary to be at the same level as any other National contenders....and there was plenty I never used, insulin, synthol, IGF-1, any rec drug, tried GH twice...thought it was over rated, and over priced...discontinued it. That said...I never cared what anyone else used, and thought I actually had the advantage in NOT using such things...better look, smaller waist better symmetry.

im not sticking up for vince at all, as he cant even tell the difference between reversed photos of Arnold hitting a single-arm bicep shot with his LEFT arm, but you contradict yourself a bit there.

you say guys like vince are to blame for the overuse of steroids, but then say the sport would be nothing without them. that means, you can stop the drug use right now, but won't for the fact of losing money, which contradicts what you say about vince being to blame, when infact you/the ifbb has full power in this present day to do so, but won't.

what was it you were saying, do as i say, not as i do? ;)

Vince started the "holyer than thou" routine....

I brought up the fact that he, himself had used steriods...

Had they never started it, perhaps it wouldn't be where it is today...

That said...the IFBB had the power to implement testing back in the day..but didn't as the fans responded to bigger, etc...just like every other sport.

All of this confirms what I've been saying for years....the steriods aren't the problem...bodybuilding not being that interesting and not being run with any entertainment value in mind is.

Bottom line is..we didn't start the fire. HIS generation did. To come down on the current crop for doing thew same thing they did, is hipocritacle in the least....

first point i agree with. someone seriously needs to hold ongoing meetings to redesign the future of pro bb.

in the end it's no one's fault that steroids are as widely used as they are now. everything progresses and someone was bound to make a substance like it. the whole steroids thing is a double edged sword. we love the physiques, but it is doing them damage by using an ever increasing amount. like i said, there should be meetings on how to first boost the entertainment value and second lower the required amount of drugs used, via testing for example for gh and setting a limit to how high your test levels can be to compete. obviously a complete drug overhaul is probably never gonna happen, but if we can get the dosages down and rid the sport of gh, the physiques will likely resemble more of the late 1980's, which was when the sport was doing great.

Okay, Bob, we are making progress. You don't admit you took anabolic steroids or testosterone or for how long. A list of what you took and for how long would clear the air here. What exactly was necessary to take to be on the same level as your competitors?

Next you will be asking for photographic evidence of Chick putting the needles in his butt!

Seriously, Chick is not a stupid man.  He is well aware that steroids are illegal. He is not going to implicate himself voluntarily.

Bottom line Basile, you are a former drug user.  You don't have any right calling-out people  who are users!

Hank, you are starting to sound like a little angel sitting on someone's shoulder telling him not to do this or that. What is your background in bodybuilding? What gives you the moral authority to knock anyone here? I don't see it.

I am debating openly with Bob Chick. He called me out on using steroids but isn't about to say that he used them. I call him a coward for that. He and you are trying to shift the blame for the mess in bodybuilding to me. I am not the problem. Those who run this sport and perhaps the sponsors must accept the blame.

Chick's argument that steroids are justified because the huge guys bring in the crowds is nonsense. That is really throwing reason and ethics out the window.

Attack those who sustain the evil in bodybuilding and see if we can return bodybuilding to training and nutrition.

Bob puts the 'hip in hypocritical!

Well, Bob, I see you have been clued in by your bosses and mentor. Ben works his butt off for decades coming up with criteria and rules and codes for bodybuilding to be accepted by the Olympics. If it is accepted there then that is public acceptance for sure.

The IFBB pretty much has a stranglehold on bodybuilding contests because they hold the rights to stage the Mr Olympia which bodybuilders know is the highest title they can win. Because no other organization can hold the Olympia the IFBB can charge outrageous fees to promoters to stage the contest. Surely it all can't come down to money? I mean, is the IFBB afraid if drug testing were strictly adhered to then interest will fall and therefore no one can make a profit and hence those huge fees won't be arriving? I wonder.

If this is true that the IFBB fears falling attendance will hurt their pocketbook then Bob is a bigger stooge and patsy than any of us imagine.

I do genuinely feel sorry for Bob because I bet he curses some Getbig names in his home and his poor wife has to deal with a rather emotional guy who seems glued to the computer.

These are the same guys that pounded down red meat & carbs....but did no or little cardio.

Fact is....they are no different than today's bodybuilders.....they took whatever was available at them...at that time.  

Whatever they could get their hands on.....
Whatever claimed to get the best results & than times it by 3.....
Whatever was experimental & not yet proved results.

If what Bob says is true, his accomplishments are more impressive considering he got to the level he did without abusing Gh, synthol, insulin, IGF-1. But I hardly think you can compare the dosages taken by guys like Larry Scott with the levels of guys today, that abuse to the point of Kidney failure, multiple heart attacks, etc. The problem is some guys say they only took 2 or 3 d-bols a day, back then, but it's hard to prove it unless you were there. But small doses of standard anabolics for short periods of time are pretty safe. Taking several grams a week of Androgens, tons of GH, Insulin, etc. for long periods of time(like GH15 advocates) is entering unchartered territory for long term side effects. I hardly think it's Bob's fault about what current pro's use. The bottom line is people aren't that interested in seeing Natural Bodybuilders, therefore ticket sales would suffer, and no one wants that. If the IFBB would enforce it's belly ban and synthol ban, then the athletes would be less likely to use the substances that produce those bodies.

Where is Bob Chick? I just got up so you have to factor in the time zones between Australia and USA.

Bob accuses the old timers of starting all the drug use. He has a point there because word of mouth and insider groups is how some of this information evolved. Scientists were hamstrung in their research into anabolic steroids by ethics committees. Clearly no university would pass a study with the protocols used today.

Speaking of which, we haven't heard anything back from Bob. I am completely candid about taking 2 Dianabol tablets a day for a few months before the Mr Canada contest. I went off those tablets about 4 weeks out but then started to lose a bit of size so resumed taking them up to the contest.

Bob seems like a huge guy. Must have 20 inch arms. If what he says is true that bodybuilders today have a choice about taking steroids, etc., then how come he can't post what drugs he thought were necessary to win even a Masters contest. I wonder if Bob is still using steroids to maintain his size? Now that would be interesting.

So, Bob, come clean and disclose what steroids you took, what dosages, and how long you had to take them. You posted that you weren't like some other pros and didn't use growth hormone, insulin and insulin growth factor. Nor did you inject oil substances into your muscles prior to competition. That is sensible of you. However, what are the necessary drug protocols that a sensible guy has to take to be able to compete on a level playing field?

Sorry Basile...had to train and make money today.

I will not provide a list to you, or anyone else for that matter. Spelling out a "blueprint" for others to follow would not only be stupid, but reckless on my part.

As to whats "neccessary"...that could varry a great deal...so what I took may certainly not be enough for someone else....I've known guys who took truckloads of shit and never made it out of local comnpetitions. By conrast, I've known some of the top BBers in the world and you would be shocked how LITTLE they had to use...genetics an how one responds to gear is the key...the best are the best for a reason, and it aint taking more gear than anyone else...just the opposite actually.

BTW...I don't believe for one minute that you only took 2 D-bol a day. Like all the golden oldies...the dosages get a lot smaller over the years.

Talk about steroids on Getbig is hardly a level playing field. I disclose exactly what I took, how much, and for how long whereas Bob C admits using steroids but refuses to disclose anything at all. To mask his usage he accuses me of lying about how much Dianabol I took. You see, this is dishonesty personified on the net. He provides nothing at all yet accuses me of lying. I mean, can it be any clearer that Bob Chick is not playing ball here. I don't challenge his honesty re statements made here. Why should anyone challenge what I said about something I am not proud of? Why should I say I took less than I did? That is something I never do. I never distort or change what has happened in the past. That would be like changing reality and I so dislike when other people do that. Either something happened or it did not. Sometimes people don't recollect accurately but that is another matter. I guess when someone on Getbig tells the truth he is scoffed at because so many exaggerate what they can do and how big they are.

Well, Bob, I am waiting for an answer. I guess the unspoken truth is you had to take plenty of steroids to achieve your physique. Put us in the ball park. If 2 Dianabol tablets a day equals 1 unit, then how many units did you take of anabolic steroids?

Hey Vince, you do look good in that shot..but why don't you stop antagonizing Bob. You can't expect him to spell everything out in writing. He may be in a position one day where he doesn't want to have that info used against him. If it helps..he probably used a little more than 2 d-bol tabs a day. And why are you acting like because you did a few light cycles , you have to be ashamed of yourself forever. If you didn't abuse your health and you can still get it up, just be happy. If you feel you need to redeem yourself, then give yourself 6 months, get in top shape and post your pics. Otherwise you're going to come off...bitter.

In this and other threads with Bob we have been debating professional bodybuilding. My position is that drugs have no place in the sport and testing should be always be done both in and outside of contests. Bob insists this is only a small sport and the fans want to see giants on stage. Therefore, drugs are okay. The IFBB has long been against drugs and have definite rules against using banned substances. Somehow those rules aren't enforced and Bob defends that by claiming the drugs are necessary to give the fans what they want. I explain that is a pathetic justification. The pros, including retired Bob, seem to need these drugs to be at the level they are. This attitude results in the current situation where everyone is heavily using and no one seems to be complaining. Add to that the reality that if you did complain you wouldn't be able to place above 8th in any of the top contests.

I haven't used steroids since 1977 or 78 and won't again. I can train and build myself up better than before without any help from pharmaceuticals or supplements. I just am not motivated to do it. For a start I am on line too damn much and I also am a keen photographer.

Bob, on the other hand, is reluctant to disclose his choice to use steroids but has no problem specifying which drugs he didn't use. I suppose if we subtract that list from published pro drug protocols then it would be fair to state he used and possibly still uses plenty of those drugs. Why should he be ashamed of using steroids if they are necessary to win a top title? This is just a small internet cult and no one is paying even the slightest attention to what anyone does. All those big muscles and the guy is a wimp.

One thing is certain, he doesn't need anyone to speak for him because he always likes to get the last word in. I predict more putdowns and insults directed my way.

This attitude results in the current situation where everyone is heavily using and no one seems to be complaining. Add to that the reality that if you did complain you wouldn't be able to place above 8th in any of the top contests.

I haven't used steroids since 1977 or 78 and won't again. I can train and build myself up better than before without any help from pharmaceuticals or supplements. I just am not motivated to do it. For a start I am on line too damn much and I also am a keen photographer.

Bob, on the other hand, is reluctant to disclose his choice to use steroids but has no problem specifying which drugs he didn't use. I suppose if we subtract that list from published pro drug protocols then it would be fair to state he used and possibly still uses plenty of those drugs. Why should he be ashamed of using steroids if they are necessary to win a top title? This is just a small internet cult and no one is paying even the slightest attention to what anyone does. All those big muscles and the guy is a wimp.

One thing is certain, he doesn't need anyone to speak for him because he always likes to get the last word in. I predict more putdowns and insults directed my way.


Unneccessary...you said pretty much nothing in this post.

You've been schooled in what reality is vs what YOU believe would be the magical cure for pro bodybuilding to advance...this is the reason you've abandoned the debate and for some odd reason, think if I disclose what i decided to use/ not use during my competing...this will solve the problem you believe exsist.

Bob, before you log off how about clearing the air about steroid use. Do you use steroids to maintain your size even if you are not competing? Just wondering because everyone said you still look huge and you haven't competed in some time now.

Just some advice since you haven't been married long. Don't tell your wife you have business on the computer when you are debating here late at night. Put your wife and family first and don't worry about Getbig and other sites. From the frequency and timing of your posts I would say you have an internet addiction.

First off...the last person I need advice from ...is you.

No, Basile..I don't bother unless I'm prepping for a show, which hasn't been since 06....never needed to. I maintain good size because I have good genetics and I've been training nearly 30 years...the first 9 drug free. Thats why I had a better physique than you did at 16...perhaps you want to start a poll on that one you can waste your time on......maybe not on second thought.

Bob you are seriously shredded in those pics Vince is posting. Your argument is very good and you display a very high intellect. Vince on the other hand is displaying bitterness and a whole lot of "This should be done and this should be done....but I'm not going to do anything..." nonsense.
The reality is steroids are here to stay in BB, the dosages will increase as the years go by. It will never be a natural sport - people will continue to find undetectable drugs etc and we will be seeing 400lb shredded pros in the not so distant future...Unless of course Vince changes everything and becomes Mr O! ::)

i dont think bob is one to talk about PRIME genetics, it took him how long to be a pro? and he never placed anywhere in a top show, surely he must have taken a shit load of drugs to get to become pro because he doesn't have the genetics to do it naturally.

I'm sure bob thinks he was 225lb ripped and ready for pro stardom, but i think his track record shows he was ready for the Mr big mouth and best.

The photo on the palm tree was a bit of a lark. That photo was taken in Queensland a few years ago. I was duplicating a photo I had taken while in Fiji in 1968. The trick is to find a palm leaning over and then take the photo so you look like you are climbing it.

In this and other threads with Bob we have been debating professional bodybuilding. My position is that drugs have no place in the sport and testing should be always be done both in and outside of contests. Bob insists this is only a small sport and the fans want to see giants on stage. Therefore, drugs are okay. The IFBB has long been against drugs and have definite rules against using banned substances. Somehow those rules aren't enforced and Bob defends that by claiming the drugs are necessary to give the fans what they want. I explain that is a pathetic justification. The pros, including retired Bob, seem to need these drugs to be at the level they are. This attitude results in the current situation where everyone is heavily using and no one seems to be complaining. Add to that the reality that if you did complain you wouldn't be able to place above 8th in any of the top contests.

If you're so ashamed of your past steroid use why do you have "IFBB Mr Canada 1970" under your avatar and post a picture of you and your trophy. You cheated and won. Live with it.

No, Chester, there was no rule against steroids. We just were too afraid to use them. I went to university in the 1960s and took some PE courses as well as philosophy and other courses. It would have been unthinkable to use steroids then. It was a moral issue and health risk.

In retrospect it wasn't such a big deal but at the time it never seemed right. If I could go back I wouldn't take anything. Easy to say now.

Post by: The Ugly on April 17, 2008, 08:17:18 AM
Bob is on the defensive so lashes out. Ron joins the thread and reports that I do in fact call Chick names. Well, I am telling it like it is. Chick is a patsy for the Pro League and the IFBB. Can anyone imagine how pathetic bodybuilding must look to others not in the Irongame?

Anyone who has been around since the 1950s would have read the editorials of Peary Rader, Bob Hoffman, Joe Weider, Oscar Heidenstamn, and Bob Kennedy. These men had a vision for the sport and it wasn't what the sport has become now. I can't believe the sport needs a pro athletes rep. I can't believe that rep needs to be appointed. I can't accept that this rep explains how the athletes have a choice to use drugs and substances to compete at the highest level. Since when is that what the sport is all about?

The truth is bodybuilding has been a sham since goodness knows when. At least since the mid 1950s when Dianabol appeared in pharmacies. Who knows if some used testosterone back then? I started training in January 1959 and didn't try steroids until about March 1970. I took 2 Dianabol tablets a day for about 3 months. I got a bit stronger and filled out a bit, especially in the pecs. I tried Dianabol about 3 or 4 times in my career but never for any length of time. I concluded it helped a bit but there was no way I was going to be huge like Arnold and Sergio.

Contrast what I did with what is occurring today. Steroids are now a banned substance and the drug protocols are absolutely insane that the pros use. The women also abuse steroids and other drugs and look what has become of that sport. Bizarre, crazy, ugly and dangerous are words that come to mind.

When I began bodybuilding I was acutely aware that our sport was always knocked for one reason or another. I clearly saw that lifting weights was an assest for sports and I lived to see weight training accepted in sport and by the public. However, there remains a charge of extremism that cannot be denied. Who today can be proud of what is occurring in the sport? Would anyone want a son, friend or relation to aim at being a professional bodybuilder? The answer is a painful, "NO!" because it is no longer about building one's body but obtaining a shape and size by any means available. Competitors in open comps now need a drug adviser to know what to take and what to avoid. If we examine the men closely it is obvious almost all pros have had gynocomastia and other side effects. Instead of presenting with a healthy look, most appear bizarre with cuts accompanied by bloated midsections. Gone is the day when heroes like Steve Reeves could boast about his handsome appearance and excellent health.

I am all too aware of how the IFBB operates. I have personally witnessed how they recruit loyal associates and use rewards and punishments to keep members in line. There is no bodybuilding in the Olympics and today it is an embarrassment to even appear to be a champion. Well, I extend my congratulations to natural athletes, but I wonder how many resist the temptation to take substances when the gains stop? Why would a champion inject substances into muscles to win a competition? Whatever that quest is it is not bodybuilding.

I would prefer to debate hypertrophy training and design better training equipment than debate with Sophists like Bob Chick. As a philosopher, I am mystified why the sport has needed an apologist to defend the IFBB. The constitution of the IFBB looks good on paper but it is not followed and their rules and code of conduct is an ad hoc affair. Some rules are enforced while others are discarded. That is no way to operate a sport. Elections are necessary to provide accountability and fairness to everyone. We have witnessed some appalling decisions in professional bodybuilding contests. While we accept that beauty contests are always going to be controversial that shouldn't happen to a sport where standards have evolved and judging processes are applied in an acceptable manner.

I was absolutely amazed to visit Bodybuilding Com and see for myself what happened in the 2006 Masters contest staged in NY. I personally know Steve W. I mean, does he allow Bev to reply to emails? Talk about a controlling individual. I saw the report at one contest in New York where Steve stood up and challenged the audience! What the hell was that? Is this man now a big official in the IFBB? I shake my head. If he is then I am not surprised at what has happened to bodybuilding. The appointed officials all know how to play the game and remain loyal to those who appointed them. Bob C is but a pawn in this Pavlovian game where everyone knows what is required to get ahead in the sport.

Getbig is an interesting place. Ron suggests that I call some names. I wonder if Ron is part of the problem in bodybuilding. I mean, why should an owner of a discussing board allow others to call people names like pedophile? That is beyond the pall. Sure, the moderators remove such comments if you object to them and report them when they are made. When someone like Bob Chick suggests that I look like a pedophile then that is going way too far. I leave that comment up because I want others to see what happens to anyone who criticizes the IFBB. To hell with the corrupt IFBB. We have had to endure corrupt contest after contest. This happens in the major contests and at the local level. There were allegations made against officials in Asia. There have been charges made against officials in Australia. What does the IFBB do? They eliminate the 'problem' but keep their loyal officials and vice-presidents. It is a sham. Forthright guys who should be congratulated risk being marginalized, tarred and feathered, or banned from the sport.

If we look at what happened to Lee Priest then it is clear the IFBB is not a friend of bodybuilding. One outspoken guy after another gets booted out or silenced in one way or other. The list is growing. The first victims were guys like Sergio and Serge. Mike Mentzer was not allowed to win the Olympia. They were independent thinkers and a risk to the sport. So they were made outcasts and eliminated from the sport. Bev Francis was never allowed to win the Ms Olympia no matter what she did. I find it incredible that Steve is now part of the system that treated his wife so badly thoughout her career.

We have a former criminal who used to live with Arnold still running and promoting contests in Australia. There is no way to remove Paul Graham because he gets advice to change the name of his organization and the IFBB still accepts only Paul as the vice-president in Australia. There are no open elections. Talk about corruption! Why should any decent bodybuilding fan want to associate with guys like Paul? I stay far away from him and this crazy sport.

Anyway, most guys here on Getbig cannot read more than a couple of sentences so will accuse me of blabbing on and on. I won't be intimidated by Bob Chick or anyone else. I can stand up to jerks like Goatboy so can easily debate with stooges and the flotsam here. I recognize that there are plenty of intelligent guys here but most default to keeping things light and amusing. That is why Goodrum has become the fall guy. He entertains like no one else.  

You're the guy who turns "What's up, dude?" into a 45-minute monologue. You're the guy people stop asking "What's up?" to.

Perhaps it was a LACK of a "shit load of drugs"...? I competed clean in the 1990 Nationals and still managed a top 5 spot...

 I won the Jr. Nats in 1987 at 21....I also took 2nd at the USA in 1989, at the age of 23.

I placed well in most of the pro shows I competed in..placing runner up in two (NOC/ SW Pro) 2002....perhaps you should check out the line-up.

Define "clean".  Less than 500mg/week?  Or you mean you didn't use any AAS in the months leading up to the contest, but had used regularly for three years before then, and were on GH and 'slin?  You're not trying to say you were still "natural" at that point in your career, are you? ::)

Since you are retired, there should be no issue.

unless the issue is avoiding the truth.







Sorry Basile...had to train and make money today.

I will not provide a list to you, or anyone else for that matter. Spelling out a "blueprint" for others to follow would not only be stupid, but reckless on my part.

As to whats "neccessary"...that could varry a great deal...so what I took may certainly not be enough for someone else....I've known guys who took truckloads of shit and never made it out of local comnpetitions. By conrast, I've known some of the top BBers in the world and you would be shocked how LITTLE they had to use...genetics an how one responds to gear is the key...the best are the best for a reason, and it aint taking more gear than anyone else...just the opposite actually.

BTW...I don't believe for one minute that you only took 2 D-bol a day. Like all the golden oldies...the dosages get a lot smaller over the years.

the hypocrisy is the IFBB's drug policy per the rule book,
and drug addicts like yourself supposedly representing IFBB & bodybuilding in general.

to add to the hypocrisy, you find it fit to repeatedly mention other peoples drug use, while remaining silent on your own.
since you conveniently ducked the question, I'll ask you again:

if you are retired, whats the problem revealing your cycles?

would it be too embarrassing to reveal your physique's dependence on drugs?

vince always like to talk about his 2 tablets of dianabol use,,if that fella once and for all understood that 2 dianabol tablets wouldnt do nothing to you because your blood level wont be stebelized due to short half life and not enough tablets to raise it significatly fir any gains what so ever....iif he only understood this stupidity in his talk ....he would understand that 2 tablets of dianabol = a physiqe matching a poop,,,yes he would get little more hungry,,,yes he would gain 3-4 lb of water if very dedicated,,but in reality vince knows he is a liar,,mr canada in the 1970s had competition i think from other wanna be mr canadas,,and if he ever won anything it was on a lot more than 2 tablets of dianabol,,

2 tablets of dianabol would work on a guy with lean muscle mass of about 130lb and mae him gain 3-4 lb of water,,thats where it ends,,now vince although not a beast....wasnt 130lb of lean muscle mass he was quite a bit more,,

no vince did not use hgh since hgh was not available in his dinosour era,,but rest assure that he tried whatever he coupld from dianabol in higher dose than 10mg  :D and nandrolone and most likley winstrol oxandrolone ,,that generation is KING OF ORALS ,,thats why they look less bloat and could maintain better shape year round because they were built mainly on orals and those orals used to be taken the way you eat nachos and salsa,,


remember they knew nothing about risks,,doctors prescribed halotestin like candys since this was the viagra of the days,,they used orals and many diff products of orals put together,,they didnt know a from z when it came to the risks and they were RIGHT there is no risk from orals ,,,it is all depending on history of liver prone problems inorder to have a problem with orals,,

those gizzles like to make you think they were all that special and had this  marvoulous hard earned physiqe based on so much dedication which is PARTLY true ,,,they all used plenty and counted on orals and incorperated vet products later on into the  mid late 70s i,,they had free world free everything ,,they could walk the street with 5000 tablets dianabol 200 ampouls nandrolone 5000 tablets winstrol and a lot of anavar and halo since no one cared no one knew what it was ...doctors gave it like candys like they give now higher dose of ibu prufen ,,it was stupid to even go to get it from a doctor since why would you go get higher dose of ibu profen when you can just take more of the regular dosed ibu profen? see what i mean ,,it was all there and free to use under the sun same way you use protien powder and creatine now days

those fella used halotestin and oxandrolone to make their impressive lifts ,,,you younger generation especially generaiton nothingness need to understand that it was not always the way you are now ,,,they never begged to no chinease,,they never knew anything underground ,,when they got their shit for 10 cents an ampoul ....they had a real steroid in side not some underground rat poision or pure virgin olive oil,,,they didnt have no snake oils ,,they had REAL STEROIDS AND REAL FOOD,,that is why you hear sergio tellin you he ate bunch of paninis and cuban breads and  lots of beef and there was no lean beef then you ate real beef frieds,,you put it with beans on the cuban bread and ate it as much as you can,,,reason it workes was:

FREE APPROACH ,,LOW PRICE,,ALL NONE CONTROLLED ANABOLIC ANDROGENIC STEROIDS,,

so mr vince like to talk about how special he was and his training thecnics while in reality you can see what he was now days when you take a look at him A NO ONE,,HE WAS A VERY AVERAGE PHYSIQE THAT WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT IT TODAY WHAT YOU SEE IS NO AND I SAY IT AGAIN NO IMPACT ON OF HIS WORK THEOUGH OUT THE YEARS THAT PAST,,THERE IS SIMPLY NO MUSCLE LEFT,,seekevin if he take his shirt off still looks like a bodybuilder trust me on that ,,,any one of the oldies take samir and zane for example ...they still look like lifters,,,vince on the other hand DOESNT! and that shows you more than anything else that he was using aas and was using as much as he needed to his genetic limitation,,,if he had the genetic repsonse to be bigger he would get bigger,,he COULDNT,,this is what god gave him and thats the buttom line and he KNOWS IT and is bitter

You guys are ragging on Vince for taking just 2 tabs a day or whatever.  But in all seriousness he is far from having a whole lot of muscle.  He looks almost natural.  No huge arms, chest, ripped abs etc.  He looks great but nothing that shows he took more than he says.

the hypocrisy is the IFBB's drug policy per the rule book,
and drug addicts like yourself supposedly representing IFBB & bodybuilding in general.

to add to the hypocrisy, you find it fit to repeatedly mention other peoples drug use, while remaining silent on your own.
since you conveniently ducked the question, I'll ask you again:

if you are retired, whats the problem revealing your cycles?

would it be too embarrassing to reveal your physique's dependence on drugs?



The question has already been answered, meathead...go look it up in this thread. see if you can put two and two together.

Whats embarassing is your level of intellect...

This place is amazing because one can interact with the luminaries in the sport.

What an honour to have gh15 critique my physique from 38 years ago and tell everyone what I did and didn't take re anabolic steroids! Unbelievable!

The test of truth here is NOT what some gutless anonymous dude claims with his nonsense ideas and theories. There is no way I can prove what I did but why should I have to? Bob doesn't have enough courage to disclose what drugs he took in his career but suggests that I took more than I did. Now gh15 says the same thing. Am I to conclude that my physique in 1970 owned nothing to Dianabol if I took only 2 Dianabol tablets a day for a couple of months?

We knew the risks then because Ciba published a list of the contraindications inside each box of Dianabol. I researched the anabolics in the literature and other steroids were more effective but I wasn't willing to try any of them and no way I would try Durabolin or Deca because it was injectable. For someone to make conclusions based of a few photos 35 years later is preposterous. I don't look that great because I am lazy and hate training. I used to do some squats but I dislike the free weight room and all the clanging that goes on there. I train maybe half an hour a week on arms and mostly triceps. Sometimes I do close grip lat pulldowns. I know how my body will respond and what I have to do and keep doing and it just doesn't seem worth all that effort. I keep telling myself to get in shape for next year. Then I have nagging injuries from the past that make training unpleasant at times. I tore a biceps in 1978 and haven't felt like training since.

Whether I took mild dosages of Dianabol 38 years ago is irrelevant to what is occurring in modern day professional bodybuilding. Bob argues that it is okay and a personal choice to take steroids and anything else one wants. I find it astonishing that anyone associated with a bodybuilding organization can utter those words. Yet, he comes back and continues to try to shift the blame on guys like me. Talk about having nerve! Bob is in a position to do something positive for the sport and what does he do? He tries to justify the use of steroids.

Here is Bob's argument.
1. The fans want to see huge, freaky musclemen.
2. Growth drugs are needed to get this big.
3. No one cares what bodybuilders do.
4. The IFBB chooses not to test the professionals.
5. Therefore it is necessary to take drugs and guys like me should stay out of it and keep quiet.

What Bob doesn't say is:
6. If the guys don't take drugs they won't be that big.
7. If the IFBB tested rigorously the top guys would go and compete elsewhere.
8. The Mr Olympia wouldn't be the top contest, nor would the Arnold be the next most prestigious show.
9. Those contests wouldn't be popular and thus no one could make a profit promoting them.
10. The IFBB wouldn't receive the large fees that they charge to stage contests.

This is basically what is behind all the crap happening. If all the pros are using then they surely can't have many show up for the Olympia if it was rigorously and honestly tested complete with surprise testing in the lead up.

Seems to me there is no easy solution here. The sport is stuffed and Bob knows it. Well, he is doing pretty good considering he is a third tier guy. No wonder he defends the status quo. I am literally threatening his income if things change. I guess we are going to see more of the same because no one can get the professionals out of this mess.

I have to disagree with the great GH15 on this one. I have personally seen someone gain over 15 pounds of solid, bloat-free muscle from taking only 10 mg of Dianabol a day. However that person trained extremely hard, ate perfectly and by the way this gain was only in 6 weeks. 10mg of D-bol can put a person into positive nitrogen balance. I know someone that did 8 weeks of only 1 50 mg tab of Primobolin acetate, a very mild steroid and made tremendous gains. Did they look like current pros? No. But good gains can be made on small doses if the training and diet are good. I haven't used anabolics in over 16 years but even at 5'9 and only weighing a lean 195, a lot of people ask me if I'm on drugs. Back in the 80's when I competed, I did a few very mild cycles and made great gains as well.  One pre contest cycle was only 15 mg of winstrol a day combined with 200 mg of primobolin a week and I came in at a cut 190 at  24 years old. If I had been natural at the time I would have only weighed about 175. My point is that small doses can work if you train properly, diet correctly and have decent genetics.

 Basile...Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief.

The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules or took a few liberties with some anabolics -- we did. But you can't hold a whole federation responsible for the behavior of a few sick, perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole federation and the judging system? And if the whole federation and judging system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our bodybuilding institutions in general? I put it to you, Basile ... isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can say what you want to me, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America!

Bob, you obviously appreciate that I am your master. Get a clue and cut the crap. You can bullshit all day long, just like Goodrum. Don't come here with lame posts about your innocence. Resign from that silly position you have and get some self-respect back. The IFBB is corrupt and the judges are stooges for them. Well, most must be. Suits you though, because they gave you a gift. You should and do defend them to the end.

The IFBB and those who run it are responsible for the current pathetic drug invested subculture and are doing bugger all about it. Don't come here trying to shift the blame on stellar guys like me. I have been fighting for decades against those who use drugs in sport and bodybuilding. It is illegal in your great country for healthy men and women and athletes to use anabolic steroids because they are banned substances and you come on here trying to defend your usage. Shame on you, Bob. Shame on the IFBB.

How come you didn't make a stand & not take the little 2 tablets back in the day?

Well, we all make mistakes.

Perhaps the thing to do is to strictly and randomly test the amateur ranks to keep them from getting too much invested if they reach the pros.  This would save the health of many kids who only see dollar signs, girls, or ripped physiques.  This should go for the amateur ranks in all other such sports.  Caminiti and Benoit wish they never heard of it.

Some of you guys don't know the history. Nobody was saying they took steroids even if they did. It was all denial. So, there was no 'problem' back then.

Compare that with today. Bob won't or can't disclose what he took. That says it all because he would be ashamed to specify what he took. It diminishes his physique plenty. Today those drugs and others are illegal and there are rules against using. There were no such rules in the old days. The only risk was the health one. That is another reason why nobody was saying they took steroids. When Tom Sansone died at a relatively young age people wondered about his steroid usage. Some who knew him said it wasn't the cause. It still raises doubts.

Bob is totally unable to recognize that there is a problem because he is rationalizing the steroids to please the fans or some such rubbish. He is in a position to do something but would be seen as a confederate if he did.

No bob, you have not answered the question. Since you like double talking / flip flopping so much,
I'm sure that in your little drugged up mind, that you've answered the question.

again -
if you are retired, whats the problem revealing your cycles?

I find it amusing that you even use the word intellect, when clearly have difficulty comprehending it, or comprehending period. Then again you consider a nubain addict "too smart for his own good".




why would you want him to reveal his cycles? Vince himself stats that he tried dball just a once in his lifetime but there are 400 pound fat woman that say he has the nuts of raisens to this day...We all know that using dball once would not make this happen...So either Vince the "natural guru" is lying about his drug use or Vince is alittle light in the manmilk...Considering the shot he has of a front double bicep in this thread, my guess is that he used his fair share of drugs and the fact is that he just didn't respond to them like many others in his era...Which is why to this day he is so against them...

Hey, Hank, are you an English professor?

I meant that I have been fighting the practice of using drugs to build muscle. The only drugs I take is the occasional aspirin.

Amazing how some in this thread try to shift the blame for the mess in professional bodybuilding to me. I don't advocate anabolic steroids. I certainly wouldn't recommend that anyone fool around with protocols as described by self-styled guru gh15. That is madness. If you must try some then do so under medical supervision.

The sooner we boot Bob and others that control the sport the better. Of course, that is not going to happen because the corruption goes right to the top.

Vince, in the future 'steroids' as we know them, will be obsolete.  They will be replaced by 'gene manipulation' of myostatin.  Yes, this will usher in the new era of the 'Myostatin Freak'.

Basile, what stance will you take then? 

Vince, you pretend to be this anti-steroid-crusader.  You argue that  these drugs, along with enablers like Chick, are responsible for the horrendous state Pro Bodybuilding is in today.

My point is, the steroid-dilemma is soon to become a distant memory.  Gene manipulation is just around the corner!  Tomorrow's 'Myostatin Freak' will  truly shock and awe!

Basile, i think you should move out of the 'dinosaur era' and shift your focus to the real threat; that is 'myostatin manipulation'!

Basile, I think you pretend to be outraged about the steroided freaks and industry corruption.  I think you are just an attention seeker who harbours underlying 'muscle worshipping fantasies'!

Of course Vince is not the 'problem'. But it is painfully obvious that he is a 'symptom' of the problem.


And yes, Vince is a  pseudo-intellectual who  harbours gross inadequacies about his 'place in the industry'. Hence, the constant taunting of Bob; that wealthy, healthy and successful Pro.

Hey Vince, time to start yet another thread....oh yeah tell everyone 'again' that you are a philosopher and a have a high intellect.....

Howard, if I cannot convince you about ending steroids in bodybuilding then what hope have I to convince anyone else? If the educated among us accept and support these practices then we deserve to be a subculture forever.

Somehow, somewhere, sometime and some way the intelligent people in this sport must make a stand. I don't consider Bob to be a friend of intelligent bodybuilding. He condones the use of banned substances and insists it is a choice. Goodness me, who would appoint a guy like that to represent the best interests of athletes? That is preposterous. Bob is simply a pawn of Jim Manion who has an iron grip on the professionals. It is all about control. You have to qualify to get a pro card and then qualify for the Olympia. These processes keep everyone in line. Jim Manion has a loyal group of people helping him run the show. The problem is this clique is hardly an open group and those insiders do not have to listen to anyone. There is no accountability.

Bodybuilders have to pay fees to belong and can't compete where they like. The reason is simple. The top title is Mr Olympia and as long as the IFBB controls that contest then bodybuilders will be like sheep and Bob with herd them together and nip at any strays like Lee Priest.

I talked to Lee yesterday about why he wants to compete if the system is so corrupt. He says he does it for his fans. That doesn't seem to be a good enough reason for me. He knows that it is way too expensive to take the IFBB to court and they know this. Unless a millionaire bodybuilder challenges the IFBB through the courts then nothing is going to change. I fear we are going to get more of the same for some time.

At every show the head judge will call out the 3 finalists and probably in a special order so that the other judges know where to place everyone. Ah, the system is insidious. The fans complain all the time but the winners never do. Bob Chick gets a gift in the masters and the best guy in the line up gets 8th place. Yes, Bev Francis, Lee Priest and Sergio Oliva know all about that number.

The fact that I have to come on a discussion board and even debate these facts is sad. Nothing will be changed because it doesn't pay anyone to stand up and speak out. Who is the Pro committee and what qualifications do they have? Who picked the judges for the controversial contests? I mean, surely Manion didn't pick the judges for the Masters Pro? Who picked the first call out in that contest? Ah, the blatant corruption and I have to argue with guys given gifts! It is absurd. When absurdities are the bottom line then something stinks in this sport. Oh, I forgot, it is the American way that is to blame! Thanks, Bob.

In Australia the IFBB is controlled by a former criminal who lived with Arnold in 1968 and who was arrested by the FBI in February 1969 in Hawaii for dealing in foreign commerce with stolen vehicles. He spent a couple of years in prison in America. Paul Graham was elected to the president's position in 1972 in Melbourne and he has kept his position but changed the organization since. People have tried to kick Paul out but have not been successful. The headquarters keep Paul in charge and tell him how to set up things so they can't remove him. He promoted the 1980 Mr Olympia that Arnold won.

This man gave me 25 points out of 100 in the 1975 Mr Australia contest. Along with Arnold's low score that resulted in my being placed last in the tall men's class. Why should a man who did something like this ever be associated with bodybuilding again? Neither should Arnold have anything to do with bodybuilding because he doesn't have the integrity required. He is governor of California but allows competitors to not be tested for banned substances in shows named after him that he attends, etc.

There is corruption and downright incompetence in bodybuilding and why should I give money to those who cannot be removed? It makes no sense to me. In 1980 our gym sold 200 tickets to the Mr Olympia contest. That shows what can be done if you have motivated people associated with contests. If you antagonize others then why should they support you at all?

You hear of corruption in boxing but I would bet bodybuilding is just as corrupt.

If Howard wants to support bodybuilding by attending contests that is his business. However, he shouldn't deviate from his position that drugs are ruining the sport.

Arnold used steroids and his competition including yourself used steroids for the Mr Australia.  It was an even playing field and you were properly placed.


Most importantly, what does it say about yout 1970 Mr Canada win???   What about the competitors that you beat because you used steroids and they didn't????


Since you used steroids to win the Mr Canada and you are preaching for drug testing, then you should return your Mr Canada trophy to the IFBB to make a statement

HI Vince, it was just a matter of time before you wrote this one again. Normally Paul and Arnold get a mention a bitter earlier in your posts.

I have promoted 8 straight pro shows Vince and you have attended zero. How long since you have actually been to a bodybuilding show. Hell I will even give you a ticket so then at least you will have something current to bitch about. Sorry to hear you placed so bad in your last contest, just remember your mate mentzer, all that hate and regret helped to drive him to the grave.

Lighten up Vince, maybe it is just sour grapes from you after all.

The offer stands Vince, come to a show as my guest, any time, you may even enjoy yourself.

Hi, Tony. Yes, if I lived in Melbourne I might come along and see your shows. I don't feel like giving money to Paul, though. Not that the animosity remains but I don't like the way he runs his contests. The last show I was at was to support a gym member. That Australasian was won by Luke Wood who got his pro card that day. I asked Paul why the contestants weren't introduced to the audience and he replied they did that at the evening show. Those of us who didn't go had no idea who those guys were. Contests are about the bodybuilders and we introduced everyone to the audience as soon as they appeared when we ran our shows. Paul never did listen to advice re contests and always did things with Carol. I remember one year I asked Paul about a problem and he told me to go ask Carol. So I did and she told me to go ask Paul!

I still sold 200 tickets for Paul in 1980 and the Mr Australia was in 75.

Bodybuilding could be much bigger now that there are so many big gyms around. The trouble is the drugs spoil the spectacle keep fans away.

I hate what the sport has become. Drugs were around in the old days just like today but I can't say things have improved. It is very disappointing and guys like me can't effect changes because the system is impervious to improvement except from within.

You are full of excuses and rationalizations Vince!  

Bottom line, you 'cannot effect change' because you are lazy-minded! 

Oh, ok, you don't have the ability nor the resources to do so!  Demonstrate the  'superior intellect' that you remind everyone of incessantly and do something to effect chage!


Stop blaming others for the shortfalls in this sport. And enough of the constant character assassinations on Paul and Arnold. These two men have done more for this sport that you could ever imagine, try, hope or believe!

Vince, if you are truly passionate about facilitating change in the  IFBB drug code  then you would not be wasting your time on here running everyone down!

Yes, you would be actively lobbying the relevant groups/authorities. Why aren't you out there 'effecting change' Vince? Why? Why? Why?

Bob Chick isn't very consistent. First he tries to dismiss any criticism from me as being uninformed and out of the loop. He claims I don't know what is going on and therefore am ignorant about current practices, etc.

If this is true, and I am not saying it is, then Bob is the one in a position to do something about banned substances. Doesn't he have a vote on the pro committee? Isn't he mates with Jim Manion? Has Bob ever put a motion to them about testing for banned substances? Sure would be good to get a copy of the minutes of that committee. Not that I imagine any such thing is kept.

Bob, it shouldn't be about choice. If you are the athletes rep then you should represent the best interest of athletes and you should be speaking out loudly about testing of all professional contests. Don't perpetuate the mess just because you owe them for a contest. Have the guts to stand up for what is right and what is best for the sport.

These pleas will fall on deaf ears and you will try to make me responsible for the sordid state of professional bodybuilding.

Vince will go down in History for bringing the house of cards down.When he talks Media outlets will listen he knows quite a bit about the workings of the IFBB and their Rules and how they choose to use some and not others.He has a very Strong point about Arnold running shows that are not Drug tested.He also knows how many Pros get arrested at airports going to Pro shows carrying Drugs if not Viagra to Valium and other Banned substances.He is bringing change.

Hi, Tony. Yes, if I lived in Melbourne I might come along and see your shows. I don't feel like giving money to Paul, though. Not that the animosity remains but I don't like the way he runs his contests. The last show I was at was to support a gym member. That Australasian was won by Luke Wood who got his pro card that day. I asked Paul why the contestants weren't introduced to the audience and he replied they did that at the evening show. Those of us who didn't go had no idea who those guys were. Contests are about the bodybuilders and we introduced everyone to the audience as soon as they appeared when we ran our shows. Paul never did listen to advice re contests and always did things with Carol. I remember one year I asked Paul about a problem and he told me to go ask Carol. So I did and she told me to go ask Paul!

I still sold 200 tickets for Paul in 1980 and the Mr Australia was in 75.

Bodybuilding could be much bigger now that there are so many big gyms around. The trouble is the drugs spoil the spectacle keep fans away.

I hate what the sport has become. Drugs were around in the old days just like today but I can't say things have improved. It is very disappointing and guys like me can't effect changes because the system is impervious to improvement except from within.


Vince, if you're blaming Paul for giving you the lowest score in the Mr Australia in 1975, then why would you go sell 200 tickets for him in 1980???

Post by: Vince B on April 21, 2008, 08:29:58 PM
Well, Paul used to present a big trophy to the gym that sold the most tickets for his contests. I usually won that award and sent my employee up to collect it. It was my way of being a shit stirrer. In 1980 they had a really big trophy for the best support gym but never presented it! I shouted out at the end about it and went up and got it. Paul said there was no time. The truth is he didn't want me to come up on stage and get that award in front of the bodybuilding world. We took the engraving off that trophy and sent it over to Chris Dickerson with the inscription: Chris Dickerson, Mr Olympia 1980 - from the bodybuilders of Australia. I never heard if Chris got the trophy. He never acknowledged that trophy but it should be a classic now that you think about the controvery that persists about that show.

You have such a hatred of Paul.  It is just oozing from every post. 

Look, Paul may have wronged you Vince, but does it really matter?  Afterall, you were using steroids, so a win would have been just a 'false victory'....Yes, you loathe drug cheats, don't you Vince?

I don't dislike Paul. I talk to him if I see him. I heard he isn't happy that I mention his criminal record on Getbig.

The guys who came second and third, Ken Rivard and Philippe Alfani, probably used steroids for longer than I ever did. It was a level playing field except for Walter Milner, who, I believe, was natural. He went on to win Mr Canada as did junior winner John Mikl. He was Thor in his band. Walter fell off a scaffold and died quite a while ago. There was a nice bloke for sure.

Bob Chick isn't very consistent. First he tries to dismiss any criticism from me as being uninformed and out of the loop. He claims I don't know what is going on and therefore am ignorant about current practices, etc.

If this is true, and I am not saying it is, then Bob is the one in a position to do something about banned substances. Doesn't he have a vote on the pro committee? Isn't he mates with Jim Manion? Has Bob ever put a motion to them about testing for banned substances? Sure would be good to get a copy of the minutes of that committee. Not that I imagine any such thing is kept.

Bob, it shouldn't be about choice. If you are the athletes rep then you should represent the best interest of athletes and you should be speaking out loudly about testing of all professional contests. Don't perpetuate the mess just because you owe them for a contest. Have the guts to stand up for what is right and what is best for the sport.

I do represent the athletes, and whats in their best interests...in effect, I echo their sentiments and concerns, etc. To date a grand total of ZERO athletes have expressed an interest in bringing this to the table. I've had countless conversations with them, with oficials, etc...I have yet to hear of one requests to insist that testing be mandatory.

Whats in the best interest of the sport, is NOT testing.

Everyone with a brain seems to get it, no surprise you don't.

Thinking that instituting drug testing will actually INCREASE interest and attendance, only shows me you are all the things I lable you....clueles, out of touch and delusional.

In Australia the IFBB is controlled by a former criminal who lived with Arnold in 1968 and who was arrested by the FBI in February 1969 in Hawaii for dealing in foreign commerce with stolen vehicles. He spent a couple of years in prison in America. Paul Graham was elected to the president's position in 1972 in Melbourne and he has kept his position but changed the organization since. People have tried to kick Paul out but have not been successful. The headquarters keep Paul in charge and tell him how to set up things so they can't remove him. He promoted the 1980 Mr Olympia that Arnold won.

This man gave me 25 points out of 100 in the 1975 Mr Australia contest. Along with Arnold's low score that resulted in my being placed last in the tall men's class. Why should a man who did something like this ever be associated with bodybuilding again? Neither should Arnold have anything to do with bodybuilding because he doesn't have the integrity required. He is governor of California but allows competitors to not be tested for banned substances in shows named after him that he attends, etc.

There is corruption and downright incompetence in bodybuilding and why should I give money to those who cannot be removed? It makes no sense to me. In 1980 our gym sold 200 tickets to the Mr Olympia contest. That shows what can be done if you have motivated people associated with contests. If you antagonize others then why should they support you at all?

You hear of corruption in boxing but I would bet bodybuilding is just as corrupt.

If Howard wants to support bodybuilding by attending contests that is his business. However, he shouldn't deviate from his position that drugs are ruining the sport.  

Here again, we have your delusional thinking....you want to know the real reason they placed you last? Because you had the worst physique....So both men lack integrity, etc for the mere fact they thought you sucked??

Bob, you have a poor memory. Lee Priest asked you several times here on Getbig why the IFBB doesn't test for drugs. You could have expressed his concern to the committee.

What is absolutely amazing is how you don't represent yourself. Why don't you protest against banned substances to the committee? You are a professional bodybuilder. You should be against having to be on the drug playing field. Wasn't it you who boasted you had better genetics that me and you looked better at 16 than I did as Mr Canada? Guys like you would still do well naturally. Well, that is the boast.

Something not right here, Bob.

It is obvious what you are up to Vince. By rehashing Paul's past criminal ways, you are indirectly alleging that criminal-corruption  still exist at the highest order of the IFBB.

Vince, i would be very careful if i was you!  Paul is well connected!

He had no concern, wasn't even a IFBB member, and is hardly drug free...

Bob, stop the crap and confess you accept drugs because you needed them to compete and win. Simple as that. Therefore, you acknowledge that others have the same right to use those drugs as you did.

Bob, you really are a confederate but against the bodybuilders. You bravely accept the appointed rep's position knowing you join the insiders who run the sport. Don't tell me Steve W is on that committee of stooges? You could care less about bodybuilding or the health of the athletes. You were told the IFBB can't do testing because the fans would stop going to shows. The truth is the IFBB can't risk another federation holding open contests if all the IFBB shows were drug free. Ah, the same old fear must be a platform in the IFBB.

The IFBB recruits guys who aren't too bright but who are loyal to the death for being part of the team that has power. They sell their independence and rubber stamp everything that Manion proposes. He lets them propose small changes and everyone is happy. What a bunch of patsies.

They have a duty and obligation to enforce those rules. It isn't about a prerogative.

You're talking gibberish again, Basile...The athletes can care about their own health, and make their own decisions, justv like they do in every other pro sport. No one forces anyone to join the club, or to engage in using anything they don't want to....

I still have yet to see one single well thought out idea come from your bizzare mind on just how BB would suddenly become accepted and embraced if it were drug tested....even though we have numerous drug tested shows and federations out there who routinely struggle to put 100 asses in the seats, and is even LESS accepted in the BB world (or any other)...

Chick has a script... from 10 different doctors  :D


Which means he's breaking the law...  doctor shopping is illegal.  Really, there's no way to legally do the dosages IFBB pros have to in order to compete.  These guys that say they "have a script" are still breaking the law.  The most a doc can really prescribe for HRT purposes is 100mg-200mg/wk or so, if you can even find one who will give you injectible test instead of androgel, so these guys are doing one of three things:

1) Doctor shopping - 10 docs giving a 100mg/wk script for 1000mg/wk total.  Illegal.

2) They go to one doc and get a script for 100mg/wk, then buy another 900mg on the black market, but wave around the script thinking it will protect them.  Illegal.

3) They actually find a doctor who will prescribe 1000mg/wk.  This is highly unlikely, as no doctor is going to risk his medical license to prescribe illegal amounts.  But, since there is no recognised medical protocol for prescribing anywhere near that much test, if a doctor does it for recreational/sports performance reasons that makes the script not legally valid, which makes posession of the meds illegal as well.


Whichever of the three methods the "I have a script" guy employs, he's still breaking the law, whether he's getting away with it or not.



There is one legal way to do IFBB-pro level drugs:   Live in San Diego, drive to TJ a few times a week, and inject over there carrying nothing back across.  Not the smartest way to go about it, but you wouldn't be breaking US law.

Bob is not going to come on this board and openly declare his use of steroids.  That  would be foolish.  He has a family and career to protect.


The argument is not whether Bob 'uses' or 'doesn't use'.  It is obvious from his appearance that he has been a long term steroid user. 

Bob's whole lifestyle and career has been built around these substances.  He is not going to 'roll over' and declare to the world; ''I am a drug cheat, test me and then send me to prison.''

This type of reasoning is typical of a someone justfying their own drug use for bodybuilding.

Don't have to lie to anyone, why would I?
Only you can answer that one chick, why would you lie to your mom if she asked if you used steroids?
I have no illegal drug use.

This is not rocket science.  What part of 'Pro Bodybuilders use steroids'  don't you understand?

Chick has always been vague and indirect when confronted with questions regarding his steroid abuse.  And why shouldn't he be?  Being honest in this case, is admitting you are breaking the law!

For Christ sake, look at Chick's physique, does it look natural to you? He is all drugs.  So what.

Chick fits the profile of a steroid user. That is, he never excelled at anything, has average intelligence and has never come to terms with his self loathing issues.  Steroids fill the void for these insecure-type-personalities!

No, Bob has explicitly stated that he doesn't break the law.  That's different than just being evasive.

Bob is not going to come on this board and openly declare his use of steroids.  That  would be foolish.  He has a family and career to protect.


The argument is not whether Bob 'uses' or 'doesn't use'.  It is obvious from his appearance that he has been a long term steroid user. 

Bob's whole lifestyle and career has been built around these substances.  He is not going to 'roll over' and declare to the world; ''I am a drug cheat, test me and then send me to prison.''


No one expects him to admit it, but he's gone further...  he's denied it (using substances in violation of the law):



Don't have to lie to anyone, why would I?

I have no illegal drug use.

Waiting to see if he discusses one of these issues;

                                   Meeting Arnold,
                                   Paul Graham's criminal history,

                                   His high intellect,
                                   Hatred of the flotsam,
                                   His engineering of innovative gym equipment,

Since it is not possible in the US to legally take the drugs required for IFBB competition at the dosages required, either your above statement is a lie, or you're the IFBB's first pro who does not use these substances.   Which is it?

Chick and BB is built on lies.He says he never broke any laws with his Drug use.FFS check the IFBB Drug Rule it says No banned substances to be used and then goes on to name them and other Drugs.Now if you have ever used one Fukin Drug on that IFBB list you and most Pros have broken IFBB law.Steroid use is Fukin ILLEGAL in Sport.So I guess everyone is Fukin Right BB is NOT a SPORT.

Steroids became illegal in Australia because doctors can not give medical drugs to healthy people. Doctors were also obtaining vet drugs for 'patients' which is totally against medical practices. Doctors cannot prescribe or administer drugs meant for animals to humans. The amusing thing was that bodybuilders were telling the good doctor which drugs to get for them!

We are waiting for Bob Chick to step up and be a man. What drugs did you take to prepare for the Masters Olympia in 2006? How did you qualify to receive these drugs?

I think Goatboy hit the nail on the head when he said the lads drive to TJ and get 'treatments' there. The only other solution is to get a mate to obtain gear for you.

Milos denied being a dealer on this discussion board but hinted that he was a special case and qualified to get bodybuilding drugs from doctors. It would be enlightening to know why he qualifies.

BTW, I agree with Hank's assessment of Chick's personality and capacities. Very perceptive.

Bodybuilding is a physique-pageant not a sport.  It is purely subjective, based entirely on a judges view as to what they perceive as aesthetic.

That is why the 'nit picking' that goes on in this pageant is just so meaningless.

Look, Bodybuilding will never be taken seriously because of the fact that most people find steroided bodies to be hideous.  The public are just not interested in viewing these freaks and for that reason alone, the mainstream media wont go near it!

Bodybuilding is where it belongs.  It will remain underground, appealing only to the homosexuals, freaks, losers and the insecure.

Vince, your badgering of Chick to disclose his steroid usage shows an unswerving tenacity.  I give you 'full points' for being both persistent and consistent.

Vince, Bob will never admit to any illegal activities.  Why would he? Why should he?

There is a culture of deception in Pro Bodybuilding as there is any other 'real sports'.  Just look at the way 'real athletes' react when they test positive to illegal substance.  Their first response is, to be stunned and shocked.  Then they go into damage control.  But all the while, they 'categorical deny usage' and speak of their 'disdain for drugs'.  Yes, this is the 'culture' we are up against Vince.

Vince, you are trying to fight a losing battle.  Maybe you should focus your energies on more constructive initiatives?

You know who cares!! Why don’t you grow up and mind your own business and let others mind theirs. Worry about you own existence and from the sound of it you do not have much since you can spend so much time preaching and moralizing what others do and think.

And who cares what Bob Chick took to prepare for the masters? He looked great and it was and is his prerogative to live his life his way. Just like it was and is yours. And how and where he did or did not receive any drugs is also his business.

And as far as you agreeing with Hank’s or anybody else’s assessment of Chick’s personality----get real. What about your personality… Well let’s see “A sorry old man still living in the past, wishing for yesterday and criticizing those living today” (Glory Days). If you spent half the time trying to get in shape instead of criticizing Bob or any one else maybe you would be a little happier and feel better about yourself. Instead of posting pictures of you’re accomplishment 30 years ago you might be able to post some current ones.

Hans Gensow, a German, inspired me to bodybuild way back in 1958. He was at Riverside Park in Kamloops with his Hercules looking mate Eric Frolich. Eric became a good wrestler in BC. I talked to Eric in 2000 and he said his hip joints needed replacing because of injuries suffered in wrestling. Eric was a former gymnast. Hans was built like an adonis. When he found out I used steroids he looked at me with disgust. That was very embarrassing for me.

Nowadays Chick can be cavalier about his steroid use. A Dianabol here and there is nothing so he can joke about it. The truth is rather sad and hapless Bob is in the corner against the ropes hoping I won't deliver any more lethal punches at him. The guy cheated big time to win his major titles. He can't come here and tell the lads what he took to prepare himself for competition in 2006. I find that revealing because he, too, is ashamed he had to use drugs to win. We won't learn anything of value debating with the IFBB stooge, confederate and apologist.

Are you serious?  

When you artificially elevate your test levels, aggression and focus is also elevated. Hence, greater motivation to train as 'results' come more easily.

Take away 'the test' and you take away the 'aggression and focus' to train.

Bob, you are motivated by the 'results' that come from using steroids. Being natural takes a different kind of effort and commitment; as 'results' invariably plateau.  

You choose to go the 'chemical route' because you do not like the natural plateaus.

Bob, if you could only accept 'you' for 'being you' then you would have 'no need' to use steroids.  

Now, do you understand what  the term 'drug cheat' is referring to ?

I assume you look at any bodybuilder in the same light, correct?

BTW, steroids don't diet for you, do 2 hours of cardio a day, lift your weights.

My motivation was being successful...and I was.

Yes.

This is very profound.

It is EXTREMELY hard being successful in endeavors in which few actually excel.

I mean, you can be successful eating your lunch each day.

Millions are successful this way.

But to become a champion in ANYTHING...a WORLD champion....it takes much more than the one thing so many are caught upon here....

Are you serious?  When you artificially elevate your test levels, aggression and focus is also elevated. Hence, greater motivation to train as 'results' come more easily. Take away 'the test' and you take away the 'aggression and focus' to train.
'
Bob, you are motivated by the 'results' that come from using steroids. Being natural takes effort and commitment and a long term belief, as 'results' invariably plateau.  

You choose to go the 'chemical route' because you do not like the natural plateaus and because it makes it easier to stay focused and in the zone.

Bob, if you could only accept 'you' for 'being you' then you would have no need to use steroids.  

Now do you understand what  the term 'drug cheat' is referring to now?



The top boxers in the world do not come out of Yale University, drinking tea...

They have 'agression and focus' as they harness it from the angst of childhoods that would have been better off never being lived.

They use this 'agression and focus' to pummel the hell out of their foes.

So if you think 'aggressiion and focus' only comes out of a vial...you are very wrong and are woefully averse to seeing any position other than your own,

Peace to you anyway

Why shouldn't the public accept natural, muscular physiques? They surely don't accept the drug assisted ones.

Steeve Reeves as Hercules was hugely popular in 59-60. Millions of guys like myself were inspired to look like him. I doubt many young guys want to look like Yates, Coleman or Cutler.

I had plenty of motovation as I trained and competed for many years drug free...the motivation doesn't increase or decrease with the use of drugs...It's obviuos you've never stepped on a competitive stage...

Still waiting for your answer, Basile.....I've asked 4 times now

I don't know, Basile...why wasn't it accepted in YOUR day? Freaks are freaks...no matter what the era. The freaks of your time were no more accepted than today...the athletes took whatever drugs were available at that time...had GH and IGF, etc been around then, you can bt your as they would have been pounding it down...

Still looking for your answer.....5th time asked.

Whatever does how popular bodybuilding is have to do with the issue of allowing banned substances to be used by athletes? I do care about bodybuilding and know it can be more popular. It needs companies who will spend money on ads, etc. At the moment supplement companies spend a lot of money because they make money through bodybuilders. It is another thing when the general public are involved. How is any company going to profit from promoting drugged athletes? The cleanup must precede any progress in the appeal of the public. The damage done is almost irreversible. Musclemen can now be dismissed because they used drugs to get big. The old issues of being dumb, musclebound, egotistic and perhaps gay are not needed. These guys use drugs to get big so why should anyone respect or admire them? The fact that 'everyone' uses those drugs completely condemns the whole sport.

Bob is openly bringing the sport of bodybuilding into disrepute by saying that it is okay to use drugs as long as everyone else is doing so. No IFBB award for services to bodybuilding for Bob Chick!

I trained for 11 years before trying anabolics. Not many pros can say that today. Bob can't disclose what he or anyone else 'had' to take to be competitive on the playing field. The truth is he would be totally embarrassed by any accurate disclosure. Especially shameful is the length of time these dangerous protocols were followed.

Bob, you won't answer the question I asked you. I am candid about my drug use that I regret. You won't say much except that you took the chemical path to win titles. What exactly is that chemical route? Surely 2 Dianabol tablets a day for a couple of months is not going to prepare you for a top open title today?

The constitution of the IFBB insists that no banned substances be used in the sport. That some people in the IFBB and pro committee do not enforce those rules is hardly their prerogative. It is their duty to not support these drugs or condone their use. You bring the sport of bodybuilding down by being so cavalier and 'practical' about anabolic steroids and other drugs. Stand up for something good. Do not justify those drugs. I would rather see clean contests instead of those shams you call bodybuilding contests today. There is not that much building involved.

We won't have to worry about the popularity of the sport once it is totally cleaned up. Resign your position if you don't have the integrity to comply with the code of ethics.

What do you intend doing with the photos you took of Lee and his family?

It was nice of Vince to pass on his condolences, but going to the funeral was a bit too much. Still, Vince was just trying to show support to Lee and his family.

Look, as i stated earlier Vince is an eccentric character.  Getbig has become his family. Turning up to the funeral is what family do, albeit 'an internet family'.
...
In summary, Vince believes in his mind he is 'related' because he is part of the Getbig-family! And yes, family is family!

I'd say that about sums it up. Vince meant no harm, but it was just an unusual thing to do.

I wrote to Lee and apologized if I wasn't welcome there. I doubt Owen would have minded. The stories I heard about him made me respect and admire the guy. Lee is a chip off that block and it was great to see the sensitive side of Lee who spoke with much feeling after losing his cherished grandfather. He lost his grandmother about 5 months ago so it was doubly hard to lose Owen.
Jesus christ, you know your wrong for attending thats why you wrote to him, what kind of leech are you, u drove 2 hours to attend a funeral u werent welcome to, then u claim "i doubt Owen would have mind" do you communicate with dead people to!

Owen would be turning in his grave right now Vince! 

How dare you take the liberty of 'showing up' at a private family function. 

A funeral provides the opportunity for family members and friends to grieve for the one that has passed over.  It is NOT  the place for a lonely, prying, internet troll to attend.

How could you be so cold and heartless Vince.  I cant think of a more selfish act.  You gate-crash a funeral, and then to make matters worse, start photographing a family in mourning!

I suppose you signed the condolences register as well. Imagine it went something like this;

Dearest Owen,
                     Even though i didn't know you i hear from my internet-friend Lee that you were an  amazing Grandfather. You are at peace now. And dont worry for your rebel-Grandson, i will watch over him.

God Bless, Vince Basile IFBB Mr. Canada.

There is one legal way to do IFBB-pro level drugs:   Live in San Diego, drive to TJ a few times a week, and inject over there carrying nothing back across.  Not the smartest way to go about it, but you wouldn't be breaking US law.


No, it's not the same or like that anymore.  That type of thinking is now 'history'.  Seems like more than 95% of the shit down there is now fake & for some reason, there's a big crack down on that down there.  There's still alot of Vet supplies down there if you can find a real Vet Dr.

It's like buying a fake rolex down there...you're doing nothing wrong because it's not real.

I remember one time (years ago) being stopped by the Mexican Police & they saw all the contents I had.  They just handed them back to me & said..."Are you sick?"  I smiled & said "Yeah".

Now a days if they were real or not...they would be confiscated.  

I saw the writing on the wall 3-4 years ago when they started talking about needing a passport to cross the border.  

Prostitution is still 100% legal there.  Places like Chicago Club & Adelita's is a large percent of the reason why young guys still go to TJ.

No, it's not the same or like that anymore.  That type of thinking is now 'history'.  Seems like more than 95% of the shit down there is now fake & for some reason, there's a big crack down on that down there.  There's still alot of Vet supplies down there if you can find a real Vet Dr.


That's why I said "not the smartest way to go about it".  But what I said about not breaking US law holds true.


The biggest challenge now is finding a source that isn't counterfeit now that the US govt has gone after the foreign manufacturers.   Maybe we should all hook up with Chick's doctor who suposedly seems willing to risk his medical license to help gear-heads get buff.  Still wouldn't be legal, but at least it would be real stuff.

True...not breaking any US laws but you may be breaking some new Mexico laws that are coming out.

Honestly...I would rather break a US law than a law in Mexico.

Mexico is considering making AAS a controlled substance??  Are you serious??

It pisses me off that our government is able to twist the arms of foreign governments to make them match our bullshit laws.  It used to be I didn't mind bullshit US laws too much, because I knew all I had to do to avoid them is cross a border.  It scares me the direction our world is heading lately.

Well, it's been discussed.  Every once in awhile, I'll read it in the news on the internet.  You are exactly right though, it's being discussed to appeased the US government.  I will bet...that if something is 'first to go'...it will be that.  Because of the computer age, going across the border to obtain steroids was becoming more obsolete.  The crack down on some of the manufactures made it more difficult.  Legal prostitution will be the last to go.  Thats where they make most of their economy as you can only tint so many windows & sell so many chicklets.  Their government is still very corrupt, but, the people want change.  The government (like the mob) has their hands in a lot of people pockets.  When they finally weed some of these guys out, there will be more change.

Well, for the Mexican people the reduction of organized crime and corruption is a good thing, but there's no need to throw the baby out with the bath water.  The average Mexican couldn't give two shits about steroids... it's not like we're talking heroin here.  Only idiots like American soccer moms worry about that shit.

Well Bob, I will chime in here on how drug tested show could be a success.
If a big celeb name like Arnold put his name and $$ into a drug tested Arnold Classic, complete with all the production and media hype he could bring, it would be a GREAT contest. Plus, Arnold could sell "natural BB" as the new ideal for the 21st century. The emphasis could be on classic lines and cuts more than mass.
Anything short of that input would crash and burn of course.

Chick is obviously ashamed of using a lot of anabolics to prepare for his contests. I understand that because he is a public identity and has a lot to lose. Getbig should be an honest place but it isn't that when some disclose precisely and completely what they have done and others are vague and avoid any specific disclosure. I guess if you have to use a lot of drugs to get big you don't develop much backbone re character along the way. A pity.

Gene Kelly back from the dead... LOL that is funny Bob, good zinger ;)
I don't watch that lame Dancing With The Stars, but even if we are NOT interested , it is a major show with millions that do because it has celebs and media hype, etc.

All I saying is that a major celeb like Gov Arnold, could sell a drug tested bodybuilding contest and have it expand into major media outlets BETTER than the current one.Why?
He could use his political savy and tap into the "anti- steroid", "roids are evil"  feelings of the general public.
They could show some celebs and various pro sports athletes that train "drug free". They would sell the idea of what a great , classic male and female physique really is. A lot of the hardcore crowd would hate it of course, but for every hardcore type they lost, it would be replaced by 5 or more NEW fans.
It could be billed as " America's Best Bodies" and be a whole new format.
By going mainstream GOLD's will be bigger then ever, but they pissed off a lot of the hardcore crowd.
For example, Branch Warren trains as hardcore as possible, but his personal training gym is an upscale, modern place.

Yes, Bob, I agree with you , that bodybuilder AS WE KNOW IT TO BE is meant to be a cult sport.
I love some aspects of that despite my feelings about extreme drug use.
That is why I think the power of a major celeb like Arnold , along with the right media hype and whole new direction would jump start bodybuilding into the mainstream.

I think it is obvious that Bob and Vince and not the best of friends here on Get Big.
My take is that both of them are strong willed men and refuse to back down an inch.
Vince B is a proud , intelligent man that would like to see extreme drug use out of bodybuilding.
I agree with him on this issue, but feel he has used too many personal, ad naseum attacks at Bob Chic regarding this issue.

Bob Chic, is a smart bodybuilder and knows about the present day reaility in the pro ranks.
Bob is more board savy, but has gone over the line when he insults Vince.

FLEX addressed the drug issue in their last issue. Editor Peter McGough stated that FLEX would not cover any specific info on steroids or related drugs but would cover general media stories related to steroids, etc.I think this was the only practical thing for them and the IFBB/ NPC to do under the current political climate.

The sad thing is that is that with the recent steroid witch hunts in congress, the drug issue will go more underground and the truth will stay hidden and no solutions to help the sport will come about.

LOL, that is part of the reason, the big reason is that if you bring even more attention to drugs in pro bodybuilding, you will be taking a big LEGAL risk.

I agree, and honestly feel Bob may be just messin' with Basille in true getbig fashion while I suspect Vince B is quite serious. Bodybuilding is what it is as Bob says. My only issue with Vince is his endless PERSONAL attacks on Bob instead of merely looking at the drug issue as policy.
We all know the basic deal on drug use in bodybuilding. While I think the extreme use is kinda crazy and risky, it is not part of my personal BB life. If some pro or top national guy or girl wants to , it is their risk.
I just sit back and enjoy the contests.

does it really need to be implied! you could ask 20 people if they would attend a funeral of a man ( and drive over 2 hours for it) that they never met or knew  & they will all say no , and the only way Vince had a association was cause he use to post on the same board as his grandson...

You point out that you are both one of the same person; being outcast for speaking the truth, misunderstood by the powers that be, being rebellious etc etc.

You claim that you identify with Lee and all his causes.  For Christ sake Vince, you know Lee because you answered a couple of his posts on Getbig! Period.

Your behaviour is obscene Vince.  Now i understand why Paul Graham is on the hunt!

Meltdown, i hear you.  But seriously, what can be done to change the culture of the IFBB?

Meltdown, your posts indicate that you are fretting for this sport.  Can one man make a difference?  Because it certainly is not going to be Basile. 

I have heard this 'fat bastard' spank on for years about 'bringing change' to this organisation.  And you know what, he does jack shit. He is one of the laziest pieces of shit going around. Basile cannot be taken seriously anymore!

I swear Getbig resembles a lunatic asylum where the inmates are in control! Listen to all the anger pouring out of Hank Wood. He is lucky he has a forum where he can release his pent up emotions on hapless members here. One day Hank is praising you and the next he is blasting you. Behaviour rather worrying just like a person with borderline personality disorder.

Chick is down and out in this thread and an embarrassment to the Iron Game. Oh, he will ignor the damage done here and carry on as if he were the epitome of a successful bodybuilder. Someone said he can't post his 'chemical route' because someone might follow him. That says enough. That is a complete indictment of that chemical route and he has to keep it underground just like the source of those illegal, banned substances. The truth is Bob Chick owes his lifestyle to that chemical route and those banned substances.

Vince, i 'praised you' for wearing 'your heart on your sleeve'.  I do not regress from that statement.

Vince, i dont hate you!  I think you have put some good arguments forward to save bodybuilding.  However, talk is cheap.  You must act! 

Q.  What will you do to practically usher in change? Contact media? Contact politicians? What is it going to be?
Title: Re: Bob Chic vs Vince Basille
Post by: Vince B on April 23, 2008, 04:33:27 PM
Participating in an open forum where most are anonymous is a challenge. It is also why few champions post here or remain here. I am having a go and so is everyone else. Goodrum has every right to be here and I admire his persistence. If he put that into training he should make some improvements. In the end it hardly matters what we look like. Very few here will win a national title. Many here are highly educated and come here for a laugh and aren't disappointed. I take note if these guys post something serious because it means something. The dickheads can post all they want and most I do not reply to. Some I never reply to.

I don't need others to tell me I am smart or stupid. If a person doesn't know that by 65 he never will. I do know when I see ignorance and foolishness. There is plenty of that around here. The fact that some ignorant people find support is a worry but understandable when you factor in the shit-stirring that goes on endlessly here.

Bob Chick has done very well out of bodybuilding. He hardly needs anyone to criticize him or needle him about embarrassing things. However, he accepted a position in the IFBB supposedly to represent professional bodybuilders so he is a target for concerns such as banned drugs. His position re those drugs is untenable and thus he is on the back foot defending himself in a losing situation. I know he has to do what he does here on Getbig but he is burying bodybuilding deeper into oblivion by trying to defend the indefensible.

Hope this helps.

Meltdown, i too am concerned about the route Pro Bodybuilding is taking.  I too find the IFBB-drug-code to be ludicrous, benign and illogical.

Basile, doesn't have the balls nor functional repertoire to bring about change!

Basile wont answer the questions levelled at him.  He is a spineless and hapless, devoid of any creative solutions! 

Basile likes to think of himself as a kind of bodybuilding historian/philosopher.  However, this self styled 'thinking man' does not have an original idea nor a constructive ideal!

I don't consider myself a philosopher but I have always admired great thinkers. I am a student of ethics and the philosophy of science.

I have wondered about what to do to make a change. I have looked at the DEA site in America and wondered if something can be done there. What bothers me about that is steroids are in a totally different class to the mind altering drugs that are illegal such as cocaine and heroin. The DEA has no right to enforce silly legislation against people who want more muscle. Well, they have a duty to enforce the law but obviously they are doing very little re steroids.

The legal road would be an expensive one. I was wondering if some government body might support a challenge. There is no way an individual can afford to challenge the IFBB. Not with the Weider fortune behind them. Not that Ben or Joe would want to spend anything if they didn't have to!

I thought about the media and wondered who out there would want to take this torch and support the campaign. A politician might want to get exposure for helping to clean up a sport. The trouble is most people don't want to be associated with bodybuilding and brawy guys. It is a big ask.

I hesitate because I am not that informed about the actual drug use by the pros. I never talk to bodybuilders about drugs. When Ray Mentzer was living at my place I never asked him what he took. I can't speak as an informed authority about the depth of what is going on. In this thread Bob is keeping us in the dark. I can't rely on information posted by gh15. Unless I have a candid pro onside I really can't say I know what I am talking about. It is one thing to say that guys are using this and that but another to actually know it and have proof. If the press interviewed a guy like Bob he could easily convince them that I knew nothing about what the pros are doing.

I don't agree, a drug is a drug!

Addiction is addiction; it is real and destructive! I can't believe you would say that?

Steroids, like cocaine are addictive.  Athletes talk about the rush they feel, and the subsequent euphoria, after they have 'shotten' up gear!

A steroid  user will suffer similar side effects to that of a recreational drug user; mood swings, hormonal changes and organ damage.  

Athletes who use steroids oftern talk about the 'window' being left open to 'investigate and use' other recreational drugs.

Many would agree that if you are going the route of sticking needles in your butt then using 'other drugs' is not that much of an issue!

-Vince, your idea of a DEA probe is a good one.  Imagine if the DEA showed up at every Pro Event and started harassing the participants; the confidence and credibility of the sport would disappear overnight!

How on earth can Arnold have a contest in his name and attend and speak there and it not be drug tested? Only in America. Corruption exists and mates help each other. There is no other explanation why professional bodybuilding is not tested. If Arnold wasn't high up in the conservative government I doubt the DEA would be so lax. Imagine if the DEA showed up and everyone had to be tested! It would end professional bodybuilding in one hit. Everyone disqualified and the IFBB deregistered as an organization.

Make a stand Vince, contact this authority! 

The argument for what is right must outweigh personal sacrifice.

What if the DEA showed up at the Olympia and tested everyone before the competition. If found positive for banned substances each bodybuilder could be investigated to find out where he acquired his drugs. Any doctor prescribing for healthy men and women would be in big trouble. Something needs to be done to save this sport. The IFBB has rules but is the enemy of bodybuilding and has no right holding contests when banned substances are tolerated and not tested for. They are digging their own grave.

Arnold is  just a figure head. The 'real' politicians find Arnold to be impotent and childish.  

Arnold is an 'image' and nothing else.  The real political-shakers that are bringing about 'change' just use Arnold's media savvy to their own ends!

The DEA showed up at the Arnold classic one year.  Short memory.

Maybe Victor Martinez can speak on this?  Not.

As usual Basile falls silent when a real solution to solve this 'drug debacle' is proposed!

Basile, you need to 'hang off the nuts' of the DEA.  The same way you hang off Lees! Then, and only then will we see real long term changes to the  drug-code!

This is bullshit Arnold does not have the DEA in his pocket! 

The DEA showed up at the Arnold classic one year.  Short memory.


The DEA knows full well what's going on in BB.  For example, from http://www.dea.gov/pubs/states/minnesota.html
 (http://www.dea.gov/pubs/states/minnesota.html)
"Nubain is a prescription narcotic that has recently emerged in the Minneapolis area. This narcotic is being used by body builders who mistakenly believe it acts as a steroid."

Not to mention the commonly known drugs.

Politics and logistics are involved.  Perhaps kind of like the same way drug dealers can be rather easily found in any large city in the U.S. or Canada, year after year.  Good luck stopping either one.  But what we can do is boycott Pro BB shows as I have done.  Still some very cool things (e.g., grappling, expo) to see at the Arnold though.

Can imagine Vince calling up the DEA; would go something like this:

''Hi, this is Vince Basile calling from Australia.  Have you got a pen?  Because i'm about to blow wide open the conspiracy that is the IFBB Drug code!

_ The phone then goes dead silent..........Hello, are you still there?  This is Vince, Mr. Canada, i am a whistle blower!

Click.  Phone hangs up.

Basile could potentially shut down the IFBB.  He has information that could end this organisations monopoly.

You have also made inroads in more mainstream acting /PR stuff as an American Gladiator and some small parts on a few films, etc. The ironic thing is, there have been plenty of other pros with better pro contest records, that could barely rub two nickels together.

I don't think most realize the amount of time and effort you must have put in over the years building your resume, going to casting calls and working expos, etc.In other words, you EARNED your peresent success via your own talent and and years of hard work.

I am sure you have built a secure life at this pt, and I know you are just cracking on "another" here at get big with your reply. I do think it important to point out that your $$ success as a career related to bodybuilding is quite rare.
Most young bodybuilders would be better served to gain education and job experience in more mainstream fields however.I know I never had the physique to be a pro, so I opted for the education route and enjoy a stable ,secure, yet less glamorous lifestyle as an educator/ tenured faculty member.

This nothing new and despite talk of the "good old days" of the Arnold era and the orginal Venice Beach GOLDS, more bodybuilders today can make $$ off the sport via supplement contracts and related stuff in the gym/fitness biz. The number of gym rat bums, living out of a van back then was NOT that rare.

Bottom line Basile, man up and do what you have been saying to do for the last five years; Contact the DEA and provide the 'crucial information' that will send this corrupt organisation to the Federal Court.

Just do something and stop trying to score cheap points over Chick.  You lost that war year ago.  Chick will always remain smarter, bigger, wittier,wealthier and more successful that you could ever be.

In summary it is time to find a new passion; Go after this sport and bringit to bankruptcy!

I totally agree, Howard! Even more so! We are slowly losing our "freedoms" and the right to make our own decisions.

Latest governmental interference up my way is ..... If you leave your garbage can within sight of the road passing by your home after 6 PM, you are subject  to a $690 fine ....

in other words Bob, you are an uneducated druggie who got lucky.


Ok Bob, most of us realize, that you have done well with making a living with a full time career related to bodybuilding.
You have also made inroads in more mainstream acting /PR stuff as an American Gladiator and some small parts on a few films, etc. The ironic thing is, there have been plenty of other pros with better pro contest records, that could barely rub two nickels together. I don't think most realize the amount of time and effort you must have put in over the years building your resume, going to casting calls and working expos, etc.In other words, you EARNED your peresent success via your own talent and and years of hard work.

I am sure you have built a secure life at this pt, and I know you are just cracking on "another" here at get big with your reply. I do think it important to point out that your $$ success as a career related to bodybuilding is quite rare.
Most young bodybuilders would be better served to gain education and job experience in more mainstream fields however.I know I never had the physique to be a pro, so I opted for the education route and enjoy a stable ,secure, yet less glamorous lifestyle as an educator/ tenured faculty member.
Just my 2 cents, Howard

Chick...these guys don't know, as you know.

You won 30k...but even an amateur like me, competing for a 25 year span, probably spent 5 times that preparing for smaller shows where only a trophy was won.

So, especially with your self-positioning and marketing abilities, you and I know you are well ahead and bb, as you have made it do so, has paid off very handsomely for you.

Its not just about what Bob won in purses, math wizards

Basile has gone uncharacteristically quiet of late.  What is this man up too?  Could he be using his massive intellect to orchestrate 'real change' to the IFBB? 

Basile is a very smart man.  He is broadly educated, worldly and is an amazing wordsmith. 

I trust Basile is busy using his extensive creative abilities to finally bring down such a corrupt and obscene organisation!

Vince 'DEA' Basile is going to prove to the bodybuilding world that he has 'the intellectual goods' to dismantle 'Weider's baby'.

For example, his work in building new and innovative weight-machines is testamont to the man's brilliance!

Basile must now apply this innovative thinking to  'bringing down' the IFBB.  This industry with its benign drug code must be brought to account.

Basile is the man who can do it!

A recent headline mentions that Mr. Basile was found bludgeoned to death in his hometown in Australia. Originally his injuries were though to have been inflicted by an enraged Kangaroo that he was possibly attempting to fornicate with. But the truth may have a far more sinister explanation. A journal was found and recent entries reveal that Mr. Basile was going to be a Whistleblower and had planned to reveal to the DEA, the full extent of the IFBB steroid conspiracy. He also claimed if anything were to happen to him, that a fellow name Chicarillo would be reponsible. He alleged with the Italian sounding name, this Chicarillo character obviously had numerous Mafia connections and could easily have him 'Whacked". Stay tuned for the latest updated on the Mob/steroid killing of former Mr. Canada, Vince Basile.

Odd. I didn't see anywhere in that retort how much you made. Nor how much you spend on drugs each year like you're accusing of Chick of doing. Sure, he's spent money on gear, but we know who he is. You're here "melting down" like your name implies.

Anyone who has been around since the 1950s knows how far bodybuilding has descended. I grew up when lifting weights was supposed to make you musclebound. We found out in 1988 that was total nonsense. As a group, bodybuilders are not seen as being too smart. Hence, the public have always had a reason to reject what we do. The universities have never accepted bodybuilding. We remain mirror athletes. At least we don't waste mirrors!

Joe Weider, Bob Hoffman, Peary Rader and Oscar Heidenstamn all preached about health and well being from bodybuilding. Would any of those editors have subscribed to using what the professionals do today? Would anyone believe what has happened to women's bodybuilding? The truth is the sordid state of drug use and other forms of cheating is reprehensible and should be stopped. This is not a sport but a travesty and a disgrace. If I can do something to return bodybuilding to a drug-free sport then that will benefit everyone who lifts weights and wants to compete.

I might start in Australia and see where that goes to. A small ripple might spread elsewhere.

Sydney is in a crap time zone relative to the USA. We are a day ahead and 7 hours behind LA and 10 behind NY. That means I have to call there in the middle of our night to catch someone in USA during business hours.  

You are a man of integrity Basile.

here's the deal-

police care about dealers, not users. hidetada was stupid enough to travel with roids, he had no choice but to get caught. the police won't go out of their way and go to an ifbb event or ring up ifbb and tell them to drug test. theyd rather talk to the athletes and find out who supplies them with it.

in the end, ifbb has a right to test, doesnt mean they have to use that right.

Set your Alarm clock Vince BB needs you to help clean up the IFBB these Idiots cannot keep REWARDING Drug Abuse it's madness.You can make the change Vince being a former IFBB Champion and also can you just think how much Impact that would have on Chick the Puppet who says nobody will listen to you and calls you Stupid.Keep up your Fight Vince someone has to.

What is ironic is that the very fans that give BOB a hard time about this are the same ones that would never go to a drug free pro bodybuiling event.

True irony:  Basile = former steroid user.
                 
                Basile = hater of steroided physiques.


Bottom line, what is this Grandpa 'who surfs adolescent-message-boards' doing about contacting the DEA!

Basile hates steroid users because his body never really reacted to gear...Rumors are that he tried everything under the sun but he was one of those guys that didn't get much off legit sauce...Now he is disgruntled over it...So much so, that he now only bangs woman that are atleast 350...

Basile, why do you have such a deep hatred for the steroid abuser of today? 

Seriously, what is it to you if these individuals just want to play the 'size game'?

Oh yeah, many weeks have passed since you decided to contact the DEA.  Have you been able to get through to them?  I hear their phones are quite busy.  Just keep trying!

Basile is so into himself, that he truly believes that he has reached some higher dimension where he doesn't see weight in females....Whats funny is this hypocrite has no problem pointing out "flaws" in his fellow man.....

Basile is your typical "cock blocker" with so much ego that even as his tooth gets longer, instead of bowing out gracefully...He just moves on to women that no sane man would ever even consider fucking...It is so simple to understand why this man has spent most of his life alone...
