I love them although number 5 I don't see happening. That's a pretty drastic change even though very innovative and lucrative. There really does need to be more judging transparency we've heard the stories throughout many organizations, when Lee Thompson departed and was exposing and insinuating about dirty judging there's no doubt in my mind it goes on. There's too much to gain from it therefore it's going to happen. It's one of the reasons many of us here feel Kai will never beat Phil or better yet score 1 point against Phil head to head 3 times they competed against each other in the Olympia but Kai beat Phil twice to win both of his Arnolds. That's bunch of bullshit. That tells me there's somethings really wrong with the judging. Not to mention how in the hell does an old Jay Cutler place ahead of Ramy at the O? We've seen the pictures and video. I think it's safe to say that from the beginning it's been rigged not every show of course. It seems to me they're always busy trying to sell us a manufactured Mr. O and won't let the physiques speak for themselves. We all know it happens and we use humor to help us get over it. It's bullshit. You're fucking over others hard work, money and time. I can only imagine the emotional stress that puts on an athlete that was obviously better than a guy that placed higher. It shouldn't matter if the person is from Poland, China, Iran or Pakistan.
The best physique wins. Period. There needs to be accountability. There needs to be judging transparency and the powers that be will never give that power up it's too much to give up. Part of bodybuilding is it's subjectiveness, in that beauty is in the eye of the beholder The more subjective the less need for transparency and the easier it is for corruption. My guess is it's their belief in the pro ranks is that if they don't pick Mr. Os a guy with image problems will be costly. I think they can abandon that thought because no one really cares anymore. As long as their not murders, rapist or pedos it's all gravy. Let the physiques speak for themselves and lets implement Tony's rules to help with standards and transparency.
TL;DR Fuck off. Read it or get out of my thread.
