It was just announced on a Dutch forum that Ed van Amsterdam has received a wild card for the 2009 Olympia. A good friend of Ed said that everyone who saw Ed backstage at the NY Pro was very impressed by his conditioning. He just didn't look as hard on stage bacause he wasn't tanned properly. He got 13th place.

Imagine Ruhl winning the O, with Ed Van Amsterdam in second place, and Jenny Lynn going home with the figure O
I'd laugh my ass off.

I highly doubt that they would give anyone this year a Special Invite to the Olympia with a lot more shows to come, it is way too early.
If Ed Van Amsterdam wants to compete in the Olympia, he will need to qualify like anyone else.

I'm afraid this is for real. The guy who posted it is a long time friend of Ed and also the owner of the supplement company Performance which is sponsoring Clarence DeVis, Regiane DaSilva and Khalid Almohsinawi. He said Jim Manion himself had informed Ed about this wild card. The topic has now been deleted as requested by people in de Van Amsterdam camp. They didn't deny the topic starter had given false information. I'm thinking it probably wasn't mean to be made public yet because it doesn't look right (because it's not).

Mars is almost coming across as a racist......no need to mention color bro.....just keep in mind that Ed is HUGE.......but bodybuilding is about 3 things......presentation, relative size and shape....... Dexter is shredded and has great size for his body type.......He will win hands down.

Ed v Amsterdam op de Mr Olympia 2009
Geschreven door Rhino
Wednesday 27 May 2009
Ed heeft een uitnodiging mogen ontvangen om dit jaar de Mr Olympia mee te doen, dit is natuurlijk ongelofelijk, na jaren eindelijk weer eens een Nederlander op de Mr Olympia
Iedereen zal begrijpen dat Ed in de wolken is, na zoveel tegenslag vorig jaar, 2x in een jaar een operatie aan een dubbele hernia en dan terug komen op de New York Pro, 3 covershoots voor de belangrijkste amerikaanse bladen (muscular devolepment,FLEX en de Muscle Mag) en een uitnodiging voor de Mr Olympia, ja dan doe je het toch nog steeds erg goed.

Come on, deny it one more time.

Bob, why are you so sure about this?
Was it agreed upon in one of the annual meetings that there are no more special invitations for the Olympia? (except for former mr O's?)
Who was the last one to get a wild card and when and for what reason?
Was it Gunther 2002 Olympia?
-
"special" invitations are reserved for special circumstances...i.e.- a former Mr. O wants to compete again, a top competitor gets injured and is unable to qualify due to it...etc.
I work on the Olympia production team with Robin Chang, thats how I am so sure
-
Poor guy, signs up congratulating him and everything saying he is going to the Olympia, wehn actually he isn't going at all.......

Team Amsterdam huh? I'm thinking Kenny Jones would place higher at the O.
-

Offtopic (or maybe relevant to this topic): Why was Gunther invited a few times (2-3?). Was he injured?

Beats me...never should have happened
There was a lot of stuff like that that was tolerated by the old guard that was in place...times have changed

Ed was fortunate to receive an invitation to participate in the mr Olympia this year, this is ofcourse unbelievable, after years a dutch man is finally on the mr O stage again
Everybody can understand how excited Ed is about this, after a downfall last year, 2x in 1 year being operated on a double hernia and then making a comeback at the NY pro, 3 covershoots for the most important american magazines (MD, Flex, Musclemag) and an invitation for the mr O, well then you're still doing something very good.

I personnaly spoke to the people in charge, seems like Ed is definitly doing the O

just got off the phone with Joe Weider

it's because mars hyped him up on the boards

Seriously I have blue stars on Getbig

No, he will not be granted a special invite. If he's going, he will have to qualify like everyone else

I still don't understand how Ed thinks he is going.......someone better break the bad news to the guy.

Dont think of it as an "owning", but rather...a "moment of clarity"
-
Chick is on the phone bitching right now to the commitee.
I can see it happening. "No one told me, and I'm the competitor rep"
bla bla bla.
I'll laugh my ASS OFF when it is true and confirmed, and do it to chicks face!
-
No, he will not be granted a special invite. If he's going, he will have to qualify like everyone else
agreed!
-
All I know is that either Ed or Bob will look like a fool when the official competitors list is published. Somehow I can't help but root for Ed on this matter (even though I feel a wild card would be absurd).
-
Dont think of it as an "owning", but rather...a "moment of clarity"
u realize I was being ironic :D
-
lol how can be one of the two so wrong in this haha. only in pro bodybuilding.
-

Just curious, Bob.
What is the standard 2009 procedure for announcing an invitation to the O?
Is there a certain paper that would be filed, etc? Some place where official invites are posted?
-
why say it's luke when it'S clearly lee?
DUDE.....TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE PICTURE......IT IS LUKE WOOD!!!!!
-
Chic is right on this one.
"It ain't gonna happen" are the exact words that were used to be more specific.
However, once again it is becoming painfully clear just how poor Chic handles his pr duties as an athletes representative. In a situation like this one needs to look after the interests of the athlete yet somehow he always manages to tarnish the reputation of said athlete and make it appear as if he is the union's representative.
-
ed says he's pretty sad bout all the shit people talk
ultimate nutrition did give him the invite
-
Lessons learned from this thread:
1) Manion forgot to tell his boy chick, about the special invite
2) chick poses for gay pictures, which he claims are not gay

One needs to look at the interests of ALL the athletes...and giving special invitesfor no good reason aint going to sit too well with any of the rest of them that are trying to qualify by placing at a Pro show...
NO invites are given for sponsor consideration...PERIOD.
This has nothing to do with Ed, or Ultimate Nutrition...it has to do with a system we have in place
-
Ed Van Amsterdam is going to be competing in the Olympia... bottom line... no question about it

Question for you Chicklet............have you, as the "athletes rep", personally called Mr. van Amsterdam to clear the air of any miscommunications?

Let me explain how it's done properly Chick:
1 ) Provide the link to the IFBB Pro Rules document
http://www.ifbbprofessionalleague.com/IFBBProRules.pdf (http://www.ifbbprofessionalleague.com/IFBBProRules.pdf)
2 ) Print out the relevant section
2.2 Invitation:
At all Pro League competitions, except for the Olympia competitions where the
Athlete must qualify to enter, the Promoter has the right to select those Pro
League Athletes he or she wishes to invite and to pay expenses for.
3 ) Let the people know you think Ed van Amsterdam is a great rolemodel and father and wish him well in future IFBB competitions
-
Good luck to him on the olympia stage.

You're not explaining anything because under Rule 4.5 section 3 it says.
"3. The Promoter of the Mr. Olympia has the right to nominate one competitor,
as a “special invitee”, who has not qualified for the current year’s
Mr. Olympia competition. This competitor may compete only with the
approval of the Pro League."
So there is a rule in place which allows it. That's how Gunther compete in the 2002 Olympia.
But Chick has pointed out that Ed will not be the recipient of a special invite so either the promoter has not asked for one or the Pro League has denied it.
-
No, he will not be granted a special invite. If he's going, he will have to qualify like everyone else
translation: he's going to be gifted a 3rd place finish at some 2nd-tier qualifying show on Manion's orders.
Thanks for the 411, Bob! :D
-
so if levrone descides to compete, does he have to qualify???? ;D

Dear Mr. Photo
I'm sure you are a fine gentleman who takes all kinds of lovely pictures of scarcely dressed young males and Louis Vitton is at the top of your wishlist this Christmas, but the point I was making concerned the art of being gracious in a potential hazardous situation ie pr.
However i would like to thank you for pointing out rule 4.5 section 3. This particular rules states 'This competitor may compete only with the approval of the Pro League.' which takes us back to my original post in this thread where I stated 'It ain't gonna happen' as a quote. To be more specific, at this point there is no approval of the Pro League.
Once again I would like to thank you for your input in this discussion and for being person 527 who has shown an interest in the rules of the IFBB Pro League.

even if the main sponsor doesn’t influence the judging; AMI wont let them down. they have to be happy to keep the chance of sponsoring the show again alive

Ed and i just talked and he said that he is definately doing the big O this year.
He even talked about Chick and he warned him about running his mouth off because what goes around comes around Chick!!!
I'm not totally sure what he ment by that but i bet Chick can shine a light on this subject?... :o

Dear Mr. Photo
I'm sure you are a fine gentleman who takes all kinds of lovely pictures of scarcely dressed young males and Louis Vitton is at the top of your wishlist this Christmas, but the point I was making concerned the art of being gracious in a potential hazardous situation ie pr.
However i would like to thank you for pointing out rule 4.5 section 3. This particular rules states 'This competitor may compete only with the approval of the Pro League.' which takes us back to my original post in this thread where I stated 'It ain't gonna happen' as a quote. To be more specific, at this point there is no approval of the Pro League.
Once again I would like to thank you for your input in this discussion and for being person 527 who has shown an interest in the rules of the IFBB Pro League.
If I didn't take the photos you'd have less to hang on your wall and as for "Louis Vitton", check your spelling. Personally I wouldn't consider paying that much for luggage.
The fact remains that there is a rule that allows for someone to receive a special invite.
There is precedent for it to happen.
Ed is sponsored by the title sponsor of the Mr Olympia.
"Ain't gonna happen" is looking more like "could happen".
And if it does, good luck to him. He's deserving as anyone.

Chick says he wont be invited 8)

There are lots of guys deserving, but it wont change the fact that we have a system in place....and no athletes are given an invite due to sponsor consideration

I constantly monitor this site upwards of 16 hours a day, constantly pushing the refresh button in anticipation of Bob Chick logging in and posting, so that I may slander him in a public forum.
-

Why not?
What would be wrong with considering and then allowing a title sponsor's athlete to receive a special invite?
As the Athletes rep what would be your recommendation should this happen?
-
Why not?
It underminds the integrity of the qualifying process...if you allow it for one, then the line becomes much longer and convoluted as to who merits consideration and who doesn't.
The way it is now, you either qualify on your OWN merit, or you don't. No gray area
-
so can levrone compete without an invitation?!?
-
so can levrone compete without an invitation?!?
No...how would he?
-
if he descides to compete and shit... he needs to qualify too??? ???
-
so can levrone compete without an invitation?!?
No, he would need to be put forward by the promoter to the IFBB for consideration.
-
but lets be honest, if he says, i want to do the o, they will let him!!! 8) 8)

But the rules explicitly allow for a special invite and it has been awarded before.
And whoever decided to include the rule didn't consider it to be undermining the integrity of the qualifying process so why are you?
But you are correct that there is no gray area - a special invite can be awarded to someone who has not qualified by other means.
So considering your position as IFBB Athletes rep and your opinion that the rule undermines the integrity of the qualifying process are you going to call for the rule to be removed?
-

of course if levrone says he wants to do the Olympia they let him in

It's comical how Chick just pretends the "special invite" rule doesn't exist, yet it's right there in black and white. It's part of the rules, and has been used before.

Yes, the rules allow for the promoter to submit for consideration a "special invite"...the rule has been in place for some time.
Unfortunately, the former "regime" didn't understand ( or chose not to) the intention of the rule, or who it was intended for.
Of course they didn't see it as undermining the integrity, they had their own self interests in mind...
Why call for it's removal?

Wasn't it Joe Weider who asked for the inclusion of Gunther?
If you consider the rule to be undermining the qualifying process, then shouldn't it be removed?

No one said it doesn't exist, moron....
What I said was that it should only be used in special circumstances (injury) or a former Mr. Olympia, etc....not some sponsor consideration
It WAS used before...by your buddy Wayne, for the wrong reasons...which the other athletes didn't appreciate very much

Joe, or Wayne...
The rule isn't undermining if given to the proper individual (who is deserving)....merely giving it to an athlete because their company is a sponsor would be....as would any joe blow that just didn't get the qualification by competing.

Personally I think it would only be undermining if the sponsor asked for a non IFBB athlete to be allowed to compete.
Of course all those who don't get an invite will be pissed ;D ;D ;D ;D

How come Francis Benfatto got a special invite in 89.
How come Armando Defant got a special invite in 89.
How come Ulf Larsson got a special invite in 87.
How come Gary Leonard got a special invite in 86.
How come Ben Herder,Salvador Ruiz,Ali Malla,and John Brown got special invites in 85.

Thought you were talking about Special Ed for a sec.
I didn't get it.

Bob, it's only natural you being jealous of Ed and the fact that he didn't take 20 years to turn pro like you did, I can understand that, but I really don't think that justifies screwing up his Olympia appearance, do you?

You're really THAT bored, huh?

Did Ed get hosed by his Rep??

If you think I'm wrong, then prove it by changing your stance on this issue... next week go on PBW and publicly call on AMI and the IFBB to issue a special invite to Ed for this year's Olympia!
-
Sure...she's studying to complete her Masters and become a P.A.
You don't need to have a masters in order to become a Physician's Assistant. Most PA programs consist of a 4 year B.S. route, whereas you do 2 years of prerequisites, followed by 2 years of PA related course work. Why she is getting a masters to become a PA is a bit confusing.

In that case, that's great! Some states already allow PAs to open up their own practices or to even collaborate with an attending physician in a office thereby seeing their own patients, so I think she will have great opportunities. In the past, PAs were designated only to hospital settings, but today they have many options.

Every pro show is a qualifier
Promoters (like me) promote them.
Athletes (like Ed) compete.
Placegetters (Top 3 or 5) qualify for Olympia.
Sponsors (like Ed's) sponsor shows.
Athletes rep (Bob) helps athletes and promoters.
nobodies (like Goatboy) post 20000 stupid posts and never qualify, promote, represent or sponsor anything
Nobody gets a free ride and why should they.
-

Last time I checked you are supposed to earn a spot at the Olympia... Cut out the Fairness act with the whole Olympia invite. If he didn't place high enough at a show, he shouldn't be in the Olympia. Next thing you know he will be asking for a freaking Bailout because he blew his money on Steroids.

Wayne was the promoter, Gunter was a conracted athlete...
Why would I need to kiss Joe's ass? He hasn't been involved in years...
Classic "not knowing what you're talking about....again"
-
Weider was the sponsor. He told the promotor "give gunter a special invite"
now try and spin your way out of that.
you wouldn't be where you were if it weren't for kissing joes ass.

ah,
now bob is claiming ignorance.. if there were some deal that occured, Bob had no knowledge of Joe being involved. Clever.

You're not too bright, are you?
I said it could have been either, or both...I wasn't there, so I wouldn't know for sure...thus the answer.

maybe you didn't pick up on this...
Yet another case of inconsistent application of the rules by the magnificent IFBB
what spin you about that?
I
The promoter reserves the right to invite....pretty clear and simple
Where is the inconsistancy?
Are you REALLY having a tough time figuring this one out? Do you need me to dumb it down for you a few notches?
-
It was (and IS) Joe's show....whether or not thats the way it happened, I dont know.....which is why I said Wayne OR Joe i my original answer Genius...
I've met Joe a total of 3 times in my life...he's been retired for all thre of those times...so tell me again how kissing his ass is applicable?
Why do idiots on the internet try and talk shop?
Chick you are right.
I always laugh at how the kids here think Joe has a hand in things re the Olympia, its outcome, etc., or that he is a gay schmoe and all the other, utter nonsense
-
the IFBB didn't have a problem handing out invites annually to Gunter
but now the IFBB (i.e. puppets like you) are up in arms over someone else getting one.
That is called inconsistent.
hope this helps.

Chick isn't "spinning" anything.
The rule is there to allow the promoter the option of asking for an athlete to be given a special invite.
It is not a rule forcing him to apply for one.
If the promoter recommends an athlete for one, it is still the IFBB who decide if it's awarded.

Gunther was the last person to get one so the lack of special invites has actually been consistent since 2002. And although special invites have been awarded in the past it is still down to the promoter to request one. He's not forced to.

I'll bet poor Ed is comforted by the fact that you can explain yanking his special invite on the basis of "logic". ::)

"poor" Ed was never given aan invite to be yanked....
Kinda thick headed arent you?

Weider was the sponsor. He told the promotor "give gunter a special invite"
now try and spin your way out of that.
you wouldn't be where you were if it weren't for kissing joes ass.
why do puppets try and confuse their way out of the truth?

Chick isn't guilty of yanking anything - except maybe your chain ;D
The promoter hasn't requested a special invite.
And I know Bob well enough to say that had Ed, or anyone else been given one, he would not try to "yank" it.

It's a good thing Lee and Milos have been reinstated now, so you can spend more of your valuable time as Athlete's Rep working tirelessly to keep Ed Van Amsterdam out of the Olympia. I know Ed appreciates your efforts... it's not like he really wanted to compete in bodybuilding's biggest show or anything. :D

I dont have to "keep him out"..he was never IN
If he wants to compete in the Olympia, I suggest he enter one of the 3 remaining qualifyers

It's okay, Bob... we know you don't want to see European competitors in the Olympia... actually, I think it's darn patriotic of you, what you're doing keeping the Euros out. Keep up the good work!

Consistent since when? 2002 !
oh wow! the IFBB is consistent for at least 7 years in a row.
the olympia has been going on for how long? over 40 years.
Gunter consistently got in, year in year out. No problem with the IFBB.
Ed requests one, big problem with the IFBB.
Was Ed not marketable enough ?

Chicks logic:
Drugs are illegal, but they are used so its ok
Murder is illegal, but it happens so its ok
epic rationalization.

Its already been explained, Idiot....it's up to the PROMOTER. The OLD promoter gave out special invites...the NEW one doesn't.
GET IT?

Wow, you really know how to endear yourself to your audience!
