LEE what is holding you back to write a book what really goes on in the IFBB?

[Zugzwang]

"A Priest Confessions" maybe

Yeah, Confessions of a Priest is a great title.

Lee, I'm pretty sure I suggested this to you a couple of years ago and if memory serves you were contemplating it then.

I still think you'd have a hard time really putting the squeeze on any of the 'names', particularly those representing the IFBB. It would have to be a bit like what T-Nation did a few years back, and look how accurate all that crap turned out.

[phyxsius]

Is Bob sweating for the IFBB now?

Lee doesn't have the smoking gun you're looking for anyway.  If he did he would have already posted it here where he might get away with it (as opposed to in a book where a lawyer will say, you print this you're going to get sued).

[HowieW]

IT IS IN THE WORKS DONT WORRY I HAVE BEEN ON THE IDEA FOR ABOUT A YEAR OR SO NOW....IT WILL GET DONE...AND BELIEVE ME ALL THAT GOES IN IT WILL BE REAL....AS I SAID I HAVE BEEN IN THE PROS FOR 15 YEARS SEEN ALOT....HEARD ALOT FROM PEOPLE ON THE INSIDE ABOUT THINGS THAT GO ON.............I REMEMBER ONE JUDGE SLEEPING WITH A COMPETITOR AND THEN AT THE GYM SHE WS TALKING TO MY FRIEND ABOUT IT...AND SAID I DONT CARE HOW(NO NAME) LOOKS HE IS SO CUTE I ALWAYS PUT HIM FIRST........I WAS THERE IN ATLANTA WITH SAMIR....WHEN WE SEEN A FEW JOURNALIST STANDING AROUND LAUGHING....SEEMS ONE PUT TAPE RECORDER RIGHT NEAR JUDGES WHEN LOU MADE HIS COMEBACK AND ALL THEY DID WAS TALK SHIT ABOUT LOU AND LAUGH AT HIM ONSTAGE............KNOW ALOT FROM JUDGES WHO JUDGED SHOW AND WHERE ALWAYS PISSED CAUSE THIER SCORES WOULD BE CHANGED.......... ITS N O SECRET ALOT OF PRO KNOW WHAT GOES ON BUT NO ONE WILL SAY SHIT......HEY I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE...IT WILL MAKE A GOOD READ.......NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHER CRAP..........WHO KNOWS WHO WILL GET A MENTION.......

I know that it is hard to get a major publishing house to take on a project like this, unless it was a mainstream celeb like Arnold. BUt, pros like Flex Wheeler ( Flex Appeal) and Bob Paris (Gorilla Suit) have written and published books on their life in bodybuilding. A lot of media interest and hype has been made over the steroids in sports issue.
I think it would be acceptable and even advisable to get an experienced writter or journalist (like Ron Harris or John Ramano) to help insure the book will be a success.

One thing you could do Lee, is to compete in an IFBB pro show, CLEAN and then file a law suit on the grouds they failed to enforce their own drug testing rules. John Ramano come up with this idea  and felt FLEX Wheeler might do it in the Olympia his last year, but, he never did. Having said that, my gut feeling is "why bother??".

If you do retire now Lee, you leave with as one of the greats and your name intact.
Unless you can make some decent $$$ from a book , why not just walk away and move on the greener pastures.
I wish you well, no matter what you do.

What if he wrote a book primarily around Steroid abouse in and around Pro Bodybuilding?

[Camel Jockey]

That would be boring as fuck. He should write about what goes on behind the scenes(gay for pay, fucking grapefruits, selling fake GH etc.)

[TooPowerful4u]

If Lee puts this out before Titus puts out his...well whoever gets theirs out first.... will make a SHITLOAD of money without a doubt!  Every single fan/bodybuilder in bodybuilding will buy a copy within a friggen week.  Im already interested and im damn sure every single person who has read this is too

I wonder if Lee's referring to those rumours that pictures exist of Ben Weider in drag . I bet Lee's heard loads of stories about Arnold's exploits from the 60's & 70's, but as Arnold is still a very influential person, he probably can't tell those.

[YoungBlood]

............I REMEMBER ONE JUDGE SLEEPING WITH A COMPETITOR AND THEN AT THE GYM SHE WS TALKING TO MY FRIEND ABOUT IT...AND SAID I DONT CARE HOW(NO NAME) LOOKS HE IS SO CUTE I ALWAYS PUT HIM FIRST........

 Are you referring to the Late DeShay Ebert?

[HowieW]

What if he wrote a book primarily around Steroid abouse in and around Pro Bodybuilding?

I think adding in the dirty laundry and crazy antics along with all the drug info, would sell.
Having said that, I doubt Lee will actually write and publish such a book. No question as to if he could do it, that would very possible ,if and only if he really had a strong desire to complete the process.
I could be wrong, but, in my humble opinion, Lee just sounds frustrated with the whole sport and is blowing off steam on line. If Lee did a write this book, it would be a lot more credible than one from Titus, that is for sure, even if Titus was 100% honest,he wouldn't appear honest 

Ya know, down deep, while I don't care for the extreme drug use , I do kinda like the fact that bodybuilding is a smaller, and crazy kind of sport. Makes things interesting if ya ask me. 

[Jerryme7]

Lee, include a lot of sexual escapades with all the fine fitness/figure babes you banged!!!

Inquiring minds want to know who the freakiest and kinkiest fitness/figure babes are!

[Cavalier22]

get one of those pro writers who "help" star athletes write their biography

ie..."My Life" by Larry Bird (with Ben Smith)

[HowieW]

Now that kind of action is what I what to see  
An off season Lee kicked back eating a KFC leg and getting a hum job from some hotty , yeah baby

[Zugzwang]

It's common sense that a book like this would sell well, even if BBing remains a fringe 'sport' (pastime) to the majority. But if it promises to deliver and is just another bio/recap it'll tank.

It's all there for you mate - Confessions of a Priest, as said - but you REALLY have to lift the lid on all the dirt, lies and B.S. Anything less will be severely criticised.
