He joins Lee Priest, Gregg Valentino, Vic Richards, Colette Nelson, Bob Bonham, Kirk Radomski, Dana Capobianco and Eric The Trainer with the publication that was established in 2008.

so what your saying is that Robbie Durand is the reason FLEX & MD went to shit  ???

Quite the contrary. MD went downhill when Robbie left and has been a shell of its former self in the last 18 months.  And FLEX has had economic issues that have prevented it from flourishing.

Yes, they did. After 14 years there and the boss man informed Gregg via text. I am also a former MD guy (and FLEX).

Regarding the other names - Lee Priest I'm sure is well know. Victor Richards is an IFBB pro that was a mass monster before it was the 'in' thing, Colette Nelson is an IFBB pro bodybuilder and well-respected prep coach, Bob Bonham is a show promoter (once ran the Ms. Olympia), Eric trains a bunch of celebrities, Dana is an NPC bodybuilder and Kirk is the guy who was behind the Major League Baseball steroid scandal (Mitchell Report).

Why would you have an article in your magazine about that creeper schmoe  the Mayor of Bodybuilding? Lost all credibility there

The Air Priest's went for $250 to a lowballer that originally offered $200.

The Trophy was sold for $2000 to the supplement company he's with, they're going to re auction it for a kids cancer charity.

So you wouldn't put in a bid on a used  Condom with JW dna on the outside and TP on the inside?
