Hmmm, black balling him just like the IFBB did Aaron Baker back in the day.

The IFBB must think Competition is a bitch...

Jr. Yates · « **Reply #3 on:** February 03, 2007, 05:21:25 PM »

Wow that is redicolous! I really don't understand what business tactics these clowns use?? Great going MD/Flex, keep it up your losing customers by the day.

It's definitely not EVERYONE at MD... I know Gregg Valentino has mentioned Dillett's new organization more than once... I wonder where that buck stops?

I think Gregg's columb is the only one that isn't censored.....but im not sure cuz they did sensor Lee's which sucked...but i don't think MuscleMag will be doing that to him/Us.

If Musclemag is the only one who will report on ALL of the bb feds... I guess I'll have to start buying it... I sure wish they'd cut down on the muscletech ads though... Come on Bob... just a little?

they gotta make their money too

i agree, lots of ads are no fun, but MuscleMag is by far way better than any others out right now, and Lee will be featured monthly starting in issue 300 I think...

Obviously.

I agree, the supp companies/sponsors/mags should do what they want. If IFBB is telling them what do to, they should say "screw you" and sponsor/cover another organisation. That will hopefully teach the IFBB something.

That is the problem these so called bodybuilders "BIG PUSSIES" are afraid of standing together for once. Come on guys wake the hell up. It is the IFBB not China you are facing. Put these no good PRICKS in there place. They fucked you guys long enough. TIME FOR A CHANGE

we all agree with you Lee, I don't understand why they don't.
and COPS is a kickass show.

It truly amazes me how poorly the athletes are treated. Not only do they not receive descent funds for competing (unless Jay or Ronnie), the supplement companies along with certain mags as was mentioned screw them big time.

Already stated a thousand times, but have ya looked at the money other athletes are payed sponsorship-wise and salary-wise.

There obviously needs to be a union type situation in regards to the professional bodybulders. Unfortunately this will not happen. As Lee mentioned the athletes are afraid, and most do not want to lose what they currently have. Why should I give up mine for him??

No wonder the majority (not Lee) sell dope-roids to get by at first and beyond. Then there is the gay scene involved. Also, does anyone really think a guy such as Vicor Martinez, or anyone else that has been in jail stands a chance at being the next Mr. O?

Not by a longshot, and as is always mentioned there is-are politics involved in choosing a Mr. O. Not to hate on Victor, very nice guy from what I hear, and an amazing physique. Just being honest here folks! Dennis James is another awesome bodybuilder that is not going to ever be in Jay's shoes. Again, it is about money, and trying to commercialize the sport if possible.

Question from Jay Leno (as an example) after winning the big dance to Mr Martinez. Understand you were in jail for possibly distributing steroids?

Dorian was a juvie back in the day, but that is nothing compared to going to the pen as an adult for selling dope.

I´ve read a million articles written by Weiders, where they bitch and moan about "back in the day, athletes did this for the glory and honor." Not for the money. Fuck, if you are a professional athlete (in any sport) you should make a living of it! I don´t think pro basketball or hockey players bounce for a living or sell gear. No other athletes take risks like bodybuilders do and get NOTHING in return! I sure hope that PDI will kick ass and give some competition to these so called IFBB "competitions" where the best guy doesn´t even win. I bet that when the first athlete told those dicks to pay up, they choked on their crap.

YES YES!!! You always make perfect sense...

BTW Lee, I remember when I was 16, I first went into a gym, and there was this poster of you by the door... I would keep coming up to it and looking at it on my way out. In hindsight, I think I used to look at that poster the same way Catholics look at icons of Mary. You were an inspiration to me and many many kids, I'm glad you are fighting for this sport and its athletes today!

Yes, bodybuilders don't aren't treated right while they're in the sport. You also forgot to mention that they have it even worse once they're retired. Every other sport honors its legends, its former champs, except ours, they just sink into obscurity, sometimes also poverty and health problems... It's sad...

True, if just a few of these guys made a stand things would change real fast. These guys don't realize the leverage they could have overnight if they stood together.
