Bodybuilding is a selfish event, that's why nobody stood up for him. If one guy doesn't get to compete then everybody moves up a spot.
NOTHING is going to change until the top guys come out and take a stand. Priest is pretty much solely responsible for the PDI getting attention. It takes guys in the top 10, the guys who actually make money, to make a difference.
If Branch, Dexter, Freeman, Heath, Ruhl, Jay, Ronnie, Victor, James, Wolfe, etc...guys who WIN shows, stepped up and demand changes THEN MAYBE the IFBB wouldn't be such a joke.
When people only look out for number 1, everybody gets screwed.
