That being said, its probably about time for Don to retire. Between the synthol, gyno, torn quads, bloated stomach, and kidney problems, his bodybuilding career has seen its better days. Nice guy though.

A sad glimpse into the life of 'professional' bodybuilding. So very sad.

Like it has been said countless times before on GetBig....the IFBB and the IFBB "Athletes Rep" ( ::) ::) ::)) do not have the BBers best interests in mind. They are only interested  in sucking as much cash out of these guys as possible before they croak, get injured or have organ problems.

Don Long, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON STAGE. He looks like he is about to die and his body is failing him. He gets a new kidney and is on expensive dialysis and he continues to pump himself full of drugs....sickening. I realize the he is a grown man and is capable of making his own decisions but this is out of whack.

Chick will undoubtedly say that it is his choice, but the very fact that he is allowed on stage only lets Don Long think he can return to glory. If Chick is truly an "athletes rep" (which is a joke look at Don Long and the Asian BBer with the heart surgery) he would have shut down Don Long sometime ago.

And at the end of it all is what? He looks like shit and the truth is that the kidney he got (even if it was from a relative) could have been better used on someone else who isn't delusional and suicidal.

I'm sure he is.

Drug free....does that include his immuno-suppressants for his soon to be 2nd fried kidney? Or how about his dialysis.

I bet he will say that the IFBB Athletes Rep has hooked him up with a Kidney Guru.

His biceps look to be full of oil as well.... :-\

Great job Chick, way to be part of a "Responsible" organization and let broken men with new and/or broken organs pump themselves full of drugs and kill themselves!

Of course, it's there choice right? If that's the case, why even bother to provide health care or even have an "Athletes Rep"....what a joke.

All is Well!

I mean besides the BBers that died, Dim, and Tom Prince? And of course what Nasser has become? Isn't this guy the saddest story BB has ever seen?

Uh, one could say that it was his time to retire AFTER HE HAD A FUCKING KIDNEY TRANSPLANT AND ALMOST DIED!

Good post.

Maybe you should ask "Athletes Rep" Bob Chicariello about the health care "plan".... :-\

What do his friends and family say to him? I guess it doesn't really matter because he sure isn't listening?

Maybe he wouldn't have a choice to try and recapture his past "glory" (if you can call it that) if the IFBB said "Don, you've just had a kidney transplant and are on dialysis, immuno-suppressant drugs etc etc, this organization cannot, in good conscious, let you compete again." That would be a responsible org. doing the right thing. Instead he gets to continue killing himself and wasting a good liver..

Another great move by the IFBB and their puppet, the "Athletes Rep"  :-\

According to Chick, Don has his doctor's approval to compete.

I am as tolerant as the next schmoe, but I must agree.  Long really needs to move on.  Even if he were perfectly healthy, his current physique does not belong up there with the rest of them.  Knowing he is up there after all he has been through is not inspiring--it is upsetting. >:(

Rockell is seriously underrated.

And Don Long is the most delusional person in the history of bodybuilding. I'm sure diuretics and kidneys go well.

The trouble with Ronnie Rockel is he doesnt speak English, it makes him look bad dammit!  He wont win until he speaks better.  Don Long should have guest posed.  We really dont need him dying onstage, do we.  Troy Alves, please f*^king retire.

That may be true regarding Rockel, but it shouldn't matter.

And this is a small show.....no ones gives a shit about it.....the Arnold or the O, then they need someone who can represent/promote bb'ing well.....the $10k shows.....it doesn't matter.

Long doesn't look like shit! He just needs to worry about his health and realize this isn't worth it. He got paid absolutely nothing for this show..

A "doctor" said he was OK to compete.... ::)

What kind of doctor? Did Don Long disclose everything he would be doing to get ready?

Probably not. But don't worry folks, Don got a "doctor" to give him the OK to compete. I wonder if he gave Don and his new kidney the "OK" to pump themselves full of drugs, T3, diuretics, GH etc and compete?

This is why Rockel lost....

Versus....

(http://www.flexonline.com/09contests/09ironman/silvio_samuel/images/_MG_4840.jpg)


While neither one of them are extremely wide a la Yates, Coleman or Orville Burke- Silvio has more thickness. Moe has Silvio over the thickness department, but you can tell in the side chest that Silvio beats Moe hands down. Maybe Moe needs to bring up his chest next, like he did his back this year, to take the title away from Silvio.
However, a majority of contests are won and lost from the back. Ronny versus Silvio/Moe from the front clearly shows that.
