I think it's cos he was a Twinlab guy rather than a Weider guy most of the time.

Still unsure bro...i'm undergoing some physio treatment and body alignment program at the moment. My hip is a lil out of place and is causing imbalance to my entire structure causing joint pains around the left knee and lower back. Will it sanctioned by IFBB or ABBF/WBPF?

Cos i heard the WBPF worlds MAY BE in Malaysia in Nov 2011.

The Invitation Contest has money prize.
It organized by Hong Kong's new federation and sanctioned by IFBB.

no controversy, no bastard kids, no whore beat downs, no run-ins with the law, no drugs, no burning cars, no nothing = no coverage.

maybe if he did a stint in prison or threw haymakers at other competitors in hotel lobbies he'd be a bigger "name" in this "sport".

He didn't join Twinlab, until 1990.

To put it in America's most popular and newest politically correct term, it was because he was too "urban".

I'm sure this played a part in it. A lot of people are more likely to buy a magazine with a cover model who looks like them facially. To a small extent that is probably why Arnold is still on so many covers. Some of it also may have had something to do with how openly religous he is as well.
