"Lee priest goes through sponsors...."

Did I read in this thread that Mrs Priest McCutheon called a getbigger a C.unt now that was classy all the way classy.

At times it is admirable to have the fortitude to speak one's mind, regardless of the outcome.  However, sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.  This quality comes with maturity, which Lee has demonstrated he often lacks.  His mouth has cost him a great deal financially over the years and to what end?  Undoubtedly, Lee has had to have had a sense of foreboding of what consequences were in store for him, but just can't seem to get out of his own way.  I can't comment on the current circumstances he is involved in with his latest sponsor, but if history is to be taken as any indication.

It's a tough gig when the IFBB ban you and then let you back in only to never compete again same happened to Milos I guess it's a curse.

Now good point WTF? Are they both just trying to prove a point?

Is this real? When did it happen? What's the story behind it? Or is it something you're just making up?

This is one of the oldest Muscle Beach stories around... it's been printed in a bunch of mags, talked about by Cormier and Priest tons of times, I don't remember what the problem was about but it resolved in Cormier coming up to priest's table at a restaurant mid-meal and knocking the table over and challenging lee to hit him, or something along those lines.. I'm sure you can get one of the older guys here to find the issue and scan it.

Priest is a lover not a fighter just ask all those he deposited on.

No shit Sherlock ... it is common knowledge ...just google Lee Priest and you'll find out his full name ... Ugh!!! Here I'll make it easy, no one can expect someone as stupid as you to actually know how to find out "real" facts.
Lee Andrew McCutcheon, uses his stepdads last name(has since he started bodybuilding). Some people will do this as their "stage name"

As for Infinite, let's just say, it's a serious breach of confidentiality on their part putting a private contract online. So you can bet your ass going to court on the part of Lee would not be a problem. Also if anyone can read and actually understand a contract, it does say clearly ... Lee can promote his own line within Australia. Signed and sealed by Infinitelabs. Maybe they should have been more clear in where he can or cannot promote this... i.e the internet. As it stands, firing him unfairly because he is doing exactly what the contract stipulates, will cost them in the end.

As I recall, it was Lee's mother, who legally changed his last name from McCutcheon to Priest, when she remarried. And Lee has kept the name, since then. According to his mum, she did that for Lee's safety as kids kept picking on him, when they found out his father was gay, or a "poofter" (as she put it).

About him not being a good sponsored athlete... Yes, he has had a few contracts with different supplement companies. But the ONLY one Lee ever said was shit, was Muscletech. And I think he still says that today. Shit products from them.

He was with Weider for 4years.
Got a better offer from Pro-Lab, with them 4years.
Pro-lab was then sold.
Twin-Lab offered Lee a contract that lasted 4years.
Twin-Lab then was bought by another company.
Muscletech offered Lee a 3year deal. After 8months with them, he decided to get out of the contract. Not only were the products shit, but they were lying about the fact that Lee was open that he never used their products. Now if they were having an issue with the fact that Lee was being honest about the crap they were selling, they could and would have taken him to court. After all, we're talking about a big American company. And they do love to sue. But they knew that once it is known that a well known bodybuilder, under contract, do not want to endorse their product, they found it to their advantage to let him go without further dispute.
He was offered a 1year contract with Cell.
That is his history with american supplement companies

I'm not sure if the order is right. If I'm not mistaken, Priest was with MuscleTech before he went to Twinlab. And, he went to MuscleTech, after Natrol bought out ProLab and either dropped him or wanted to severely cut his pay.
