Title: Question for Shawn Ray?
Post by: kilojoule on September 26, 2006, 02:25:20 AM

Shawn, the last two years before you retired you spoke alot at the pre Olympia meetings about drugs you were not prepared to do, that the others were doing, that gave them an unfair advantage, could you tell us what you meant by that, what do you think the others were doing that created a uneven playing field?

IGF?

i think you mentioned something about blood volumising drugs

EPO?

Sounds like he made a smart decision, who wants to cut years and years off there life just to get a chance to move up in placings at fixed bodybuilding shows.

If you actually followed the sport Shawn has never denied this fact of professional sports, he did fail the test at the Arnold in 1990 I beleive and lost out in $60K, Unlike Jay who was allowed to keep his prize money after he failed the test at the Olympia!!

actually jay's prize winnings were going to be taken away until he got a lawyer and threaten to take them to court.

Not to be mean or anything, but you rag on a guy who maybe doesn't follow the sport, but you do and you got two things wrong.  It was 91' I believe (oh god I hope I'm not wrong) and Jay got his money BACK after threatening to take the IFBB to court. I hope this helps

Read the post again guy, I never siad Jay didn't get his money, he threatened to get his legal team involved and was allowed to keep the money as the IFBB backed down, his 'B' sample was never tested. Shawn won the Arnold in 1990 & '91, '90 being the year he failed the test and his prize money was then given to the runner Mike Ashley!!

If your gonna correct someone, make sure you get EVERYTHING correct  ;)
