The real story why Muscle Camp in Dubai got cancelled
« on: June 10, 2006, 10:34:41 AM »
The real reason behind the show getting cancelled was one of the top sponsors dropped out cause “Shawn tested positive for Anabolic Steroids in the 90 ASC” cause some anti-drug issue was enforced by the government leading to the drop out of some other sponsors.  I am not defending anyone; I just regret that a lot of bbing enthusiast in the Persian Gulf lost the opportunity to meet the top guys. 

I don’t think the muscle camp cancellation had to do anything with what happened to Craig and Kelly

Cheers

When was the show supposed to take place?  When was it cancelled?  What was the official reason?

The show was supposed to go on the weekend of Dec. 14th.  It was cancelled a few weeks before the show with the reason being that the promotor broke his back or something.  Don't you listen to PBW?

I listen until

1) A muscletech scientist stops by to give an unbiased review of some hot new muscletech product which will revolutionize the BBing market, or

2) One of the hosts reads his script about how much he hates "some guy named Big Gunzzz with 5 Z's who doesn't give the pros the respect they deserve".

Then I usually turn it off and watch "Deal or no deal" or the playoffs.

i've heard him talk about it 3 times now, and he uses the exact same wording every time.

Can you imagine him in his apartment, reading notecards, practicing his lines about the inernet boards?

Sounds like a cop-out to me.

That lame excuse is most likely a euphemism for "we really couldn't afford to do this".

Oh, thanks for clearing that up for me. ::)
Now this is where I should come from now on for ANSWERS to my business! ;D
Let's see, a failed Drug test 16 years ago, prevents a Muscle Camp from taking place in another country which involves 6 US Pro's and a Retired BBer. :-[
Hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm.. ......... :'(

Yeah, that rumor didn't smell too fresh. 

It was a nice try by the new guy, though.

A pro BBer had an influence on the issue and was planning to start his own muscle camp but nothing yet and I don’t think he will be able to make it.
I think it is a stupid reason and believe me I was pissed more than you cause you did a lot of muscle camps and this was once in a life time opportunity.
