Lee Priest's true confessions on returning to the IFBB

[Lift Studios]

The show will go on with or with out Lee. The Arnold this past weekend was one of the better shows fans have been treated to in years and it had no Lee, no Ronnie or Jay. No one person makes up the show.  I don't recall one person asking last year, damn where was Lee Priest in this line up. The PDI is dead as well, again with or without Lee.

Best of luck to ya, but the rate you're going your fans won't see you compete on an IFBB stage again.

THAT IS FINE.....THATS THEIR CHOICE .........

WHAT YOU MEAN I AM SUSPENDED TILL SEPTEMBER 16TH NO SHOWS FOR ME THIS YEAR ...HOW IS IT HURTING...BY SAYING I HAVE NO REGRETS.........BUT I FORGOT THE IFBB READS THIS BOARD..WELL IF THEY NEED TO CLARIFY ANYTHING THEY READ ON HERE THEY CAN CALL ME SO THEY DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND WHAT I SAY....

Once again i've proven my point I made earlier. Lee is just an attention whore scared to confront IFBB himself. So he goes on a board, cries and screams for attention, explaining the situation. "For the fans" right? My ass, because he knows the message gets sent to IFBB and he is too much of a pussy to call them up himself and talk about the situation.

F*cking roaches like you should be banned from all sports and left in in the gutter to die.

I THINK YOU LIKE ATTENTION CAUSE YOU ARE A NOBODY....SO YOU HAVE MY PHONE TAPPED OR MY EMAIL ACCOUNT ON FILE...SO YOU KNOW WHO I TALK TO AND CONTACT HUH....VERY INTERESTING...ONCE AGAIN YOU SHOW YOU KNOW NOTHING

[Chick]

BOB DONT START...WHY ISNT THERE SPNOSORS...OR MAGAZINE COVERAGE...CASUE OF THREATS FROM IFBB....I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE PEOPLE AT COMPANIES..AND ATHLETES FROM THESE COMPANIES THEY WOULD BE DROPPED IF THEY WENT TO PDI....IRONMAN WILL NOT COVER PDI...BUT YET THEY COVER OTHER NON IFBB SHOWS.....EUROPA DISTRABUTION WILL NOT CARRY CEL PRODUCTS....WHY CAUSE LEE IS NOT WITH IFBB...AND ERIC HILMAN IS AN IFBB OFFICIAL...JUST LET THE PDI BE........I UNDERSTAND THE SUSPENSION IF ATHLETES GO OVER...BUT ALL THIS OTHERS BULLSHIT WITH SPONSORS AND MAGS IS JUST CHILDISH.........JUST CARZY..........

People and companies have a lot invested in being a part of the IFBB. No company in their right mind is going to jeopardize their relationship by supporting a rival company, when they make millions with the one they support now. This is done in every realm of business on every scale. It's called "knowing where your beread is being buttered"....it's also known as "stepping over a dollar to pick up a quarter"...

You're also forgetting that Wayne burnt a lot of bridges in his time, and many of those same people don't want anything to do with him, or anything he's involved in....

Who cares about me, this is not about me this is about you and your pathetic behaviour. Smart way to try to change the subject asshole, won't work.

WHY ISNT THERE SPNOSORS...OR MAGAZINE COVERAGE...CASUE OF THREATS FROM IFBB.

Did the IFBB also threaten all the Internet Service Providers to make sure the PDI wouldn't have a web page?

Face it Lee, you realised you were never going to get top 3 in either of the big 2, and your ego cant stand that so you go off to some monkey organisation so you can be topdog with a load of retards, and say you are doing it for the fans as an excuse.When you realise you cant earn shit you come running back with your tail between your legs and beg to get back in.You are lower than dogshit.

You do realise that MD wouldn't let Victor go on PBW...Talk about fking stupid...They are sponsoring the man and the more publicity he gets, the better for them...Vic going on PBW would be free publicity..He could have spit out MD retarded radio show ect....I guess thats what you get when you have Man whores, crack heads and retarded blobs of goo running your establishment...

Lee you don't have to explain yourself why you want back to the IFBB...You come back to it and you should stay the fck away from MD...Your so called buddy steve fcked you and you know it...You don't need them...

[Tamer Razor]

Lee,

You have change your position several times. You made a clear mistake by going to the PDI and you are unable to admit the obvious. You have destroy your image with the organization that you like it or not gave you a change to be finacially secure. All your complain regarding the IFBB are invalid. When you had a chance to prove your point and join CHICK in promoting a union for Bodybuider you were TOO BUSY WITH YOUR TAN. Again you Great talker but when comes to actions to help others as you say you have failed all the Buidbuider you claim to help. I hope the tan was worthy.

Are you talking about Lee or Squadfather?

Not carzy enough, apparently. Remember, Lee: Ask nicely.

We can debate the business of bb all day long, but the bottom line is, none of it has anything to do with your situation at hand....

If you really want to be reinstated to the IFBB, you will not only have to wait out the full suspension...but also not endorse or compete in the PDI during that suspension timeframe.

If you're unwilling to do that, then all this banter is irrelevant...

Pick a team.....PDI or IFBB.

Hope I'm not too much off subject but I sincerly think Special Ed, DP & Blockhead had something to do with how successful and anticipated the ACS was

[SWOLETRAIN]

f-ing IFBB LEE train hard and piss them off by winning shows

[Stavios]

THEY DONT NEED ONE THE PDI GET A MENTION HERE EVERYDAY

I haven't heard of the PDI for months now

it's a dead topic here

[Big N]

MAN YOU GET UPSET WHEN YOUR ON THE RAG...

No way dude, i'm a nice guy to everybody on this board. And it's all in fun when we break eachother's balls. But really dude all those conversations and "verbal attacks" you and others had against Chick for being IFBB's "athelete's rep" did you or did you not give him a lot of heat? For what? Dude you're going back to the IFBB.

Now i really understand where Chick was coming from when he said what he said to all your replies for going over to the PDI and ripping on IFBB. But whatever it's your life do what you want but remember the "fans" are the ones running the business. Just like anything else, that's called a business the "consumers" running it.

I just feel personally you could've had a different approach with all of this ifbb/pdi/athlete's rep/the fans, etc. story?

peace

[Chick]

I can appreciate everyone's opinion on this topic, especially Lee's. I originally requested to Lee that we keep this quiet, and off the boards for now....BUT...seems it found it's way here anyway.

That being said, I would like to clarify the IFBB's position on the matter:

After Lee has served the full term of his suspension, he will have the opportunity to APPLY for reinstatement for pro status in the IFBB. There is no guarantee that his application will be accepted, only that he will be allowed to submit, and all factors will be considered in the final decision.

Bob,

Lets say for the sake of arguement...that Lee is allowed to come back & compete in the IFBB.  As an athlete's rep...do you think this suspension will hurt Lee's placing in the future....or when it's all said & done...it's a physique contest & thats all that matters?

I just hate seeing top quality bobybuilders....take a chance in life...& get heavily penalized for it (Aaron Baker).

no...Lee's outspokenness has never been a factor in the past, and wouldn't be in the future...hypothetically assuming he was back in the IFBB, of course.

True...but I just remember how the guys from the WBF got shafted.

As you know...there was some top of the game guys that couldn't even make a decent showing from that moment on.

So what you're saying....is the organization is being run completley different from those days (from what you can tell)?
