You had a golden opportunity to ask him all these questions YOURSELF..right in his office, face to face...Mano-e-tattooed Mano

You instead opted to not attend your hearing...WHY?

They don't have KFC in Canada?

I don't know...maybe thats a stretch.

Couldn't agree more...

Why would one WANT to compete for an organization that you hate?

Simple, to make money, ask 99% of the popluation if they hate their jobs but why they still go, some people are just not fortunate enough to do something they love with thier lives.

Did they offer Lee an option to attend the hearing by teleconference?   And if they demanded he attend, in Canada, did they give him hotel and airfare?

The idea of giving him a few weeks' notice to travel to Canada to dispute things (a week before the English Pro) is unrealistic.  In real life, if the NBA has a problem with Shaq throwing an elbow at another player on the court, they call him after the game or send a rep to speak to him about the matter.  They don't make him fly from Miami to NY to sit down at NBA headquarters when he has a playoff game the next day.

Bob, I'm starting to give you credit here.  Don't lose your credibility be defending such an unrealistic travel demand on short notice during competitive season.

First of all, he's hadd nearly a month to get any travel plans together...

Secondly, why on God's green earth would the IFBB foot the bill so Lee could answer to why HE decided to compete in a rival federation? Does the court pay for you to fight a traffic ticket, or a trial?

Third, do you really think the IFBB is going to give a shit about a rival fedeation's show, when the very reason for the hearing is that very infraction..?

Come on now...If it was near and dear to Lee's heart to remain with the IFBB, he would have had no problem attending a hearing deciding his fate...he clearly does not, and has stated so on several occasions.

Sign an IFBB Pro contract to compete and get an injury and live in another country like Japan and you have to fly to the states to see an IFBB doctor to get the OK to break competing contract.Seems a little Stupid and cost a heap.Take the 5k fine it's cheaper than the doctor and travel costs. ::)

No one has had to go to that extreme since Jim Manion took over...anyone who wanted to get out of a contract merely had to pick up the phone.

Those were the old Wayne days....out with the old, in with the new.

Does the IFBB routinely require athletes to fly to Canada to deal with disciplinary matters, or was Lee the first?  Did the WBF guys have to go to Canada?  Was it in Lee's contract that he would have to travel to another country to dispute a suspension?

No, the IFBB only requires you personally show up when you've been suspended indefinately...other minor offences do not require a hearing.

Don't know about the WBF guys, or what the rules were back in the early 90's, as they may/ maynot have changed.

Yes, it is in the rules...

What year did that rule become that rule?  Was it a spring change coinciding with the PDI's birth? Or was this a longstanding thing?

Has Manion ever gotten over the flu?  I notice he still hasn't been able to pick up the phone for half an hour to be on your show.

Question for Weider:  "did you pay the authorities in Las Vegas to time their announcement of the new arrest in the Titus case so as to coincide with the British PDI, and if so how much?"

It's been in the rules long before the PDI was even a thought...ironically, I'm sure it was Wayne who wrote many of the rules, with Ben...

Ok, so you're the IFBB's athlete liaison now - thanks for clearing that up. 

The IFBB's position on this issue is so indefensible that any attempt to do so is nothing short of laughable. 

Regardless of what Lee decides to do, just call a crock a crock and everyone will be better off.

LOL... I beat up on Bob for the taped Canseco interview, but I'd prob not mind in the case of ben (have they said either way?) ... live radio might be fun/unpredictable, and that's always interesting... but I'm guessing pre-taped, as he's a high profile guest and his hearing ability is reputed to be pretty poor.  So if not pre-taped, hopefully they'll do a warmup.

What does matter is, what they ask him.  Titus, DeMilia, Priest and his suspension, yaada yada.  And, will he answer?

Just how did you "beat up on me" for the Canseco interview?...I had nothing to do with it, nor was I in it...I was on an airplane when Dan did the interview.
