Wow! I am really surprised at your reactions about Lee's statements on PBW!

[benchmstr]

No, I'm sure that there's a lot more than the ones I mentionned that are making money in bodybuilding, but I can't tell you with certitude how well they are doing, so instead of talking about something that I don't know anything about, I stay quiet, maybe you should try it sometimes...
thanks for the insults my friend... 
Very mature.
Max.

Instead of being a smart ass, why don't you tell us what would be an ideal scenario?  Let the athletes compete wherever they want to without repercussion AND get rid of all the performance enhancing drugs in all sports, specifically bodybuilding.  Would that make you happy since you are so anti drug and on the side of the government, they sure are always right about everything.  I'm sure you are an exemplary citizen and NEVER break the law EVER!

maybe enforce ALL the rules equally, and get rid of the ones they won't/don't enforce. Then they could apply to everyone and not a select few.

I was speaking to wingnut but I guess many people feel it can apply to them, if the shoe fit...
Oh Yeah! I'm owned BIG TIME!  Poor me.

I don't know about "ownage" MAX, but why are some rules enforced and not others? Why not just amend the rule book and make a new set of rules, updated for 2007, not 1956 or whenever it was written.

I'll never understand how they can look at what some BB's do outside BBing and think it's OK, but try to "compete" in another org and they have a shitfit

I think you'll get back in the IFBB Lee.  I dunno about the Olympia this year, but next year I'm sure they will let you back in.  Please don't think your best years are behind you though.  Look at Tony Freeman 42?  Ronnie is still top 5 Mr. O material at what, 43?  Sean Ray is....oh nvm. 

If you keep taking the goodies you'll be right in the mix of it all.  I like the fact you might be going back home awhile too.  Kinda like Rocky returning to his native Philly then busting out to win the big one.

I believe it was Lou Ferrigno (lol) who said in his book "People usually rust out before they wear out".  So true.

[New Hank Wood]

I support Lee's decision for returning to Australia.  

If he is telling the truth about his sick Grandparent, then i wish him well.  

He is sacrificing his career and a lot of money, to care for family back home.  That is very honorable.

Lee, if this is the truth, you are acting very admirably, and should be applauded for your self-less act.

 You have always said that family is everything and today you proved it!

Good luck to you and your fresh start back in Australia!

[Tony Doherty]

NO DAVE YOU ARE WRONG.....I STILL MAKE OVER 160,000 A YEAR MONEY NOT THE REASON.....MY GRANDMOTHER IS VERY ILL I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO MY GRANDPARENTS AS TONY I AM SURE COULD TELL YOU. THEY HELPED RAISE ME AND WHERE ALWAYS MY BIGGEST SUPPORTERS.....THEY SOLD THIER HOUSE OF 60 YEARS TO MOVE INTO MY MUMS HOUSE SO SHE COULD HELP TAKE CARE OF HER AS THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN PUTTING HER IN A OLD PERSON HOME.....SO MY REASON FOR GOING HOME IS FAMILY.....NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH MONEY.....SOMETIMES THERE ARE BIGGER AND GREATER THINGS IN LIFE THEN MONEY AND COMPETING.......

HOPE THIS HELPS YOUR THEORY...

LEE

I have known Lee since he was 17, that is about 18 years. He has always been close to his family, especially his Nan, who pretty much raised him. He is serious about moving back here and has been in touch regarding that. Lee's grandparents have always been his biggest fans, tattoos and all. They adore him as he does them. He has never been driven by money and as I said earlier his word is gold.

Hi Lee please give my kindest regards to Nan, Mum and all the crew.

We would love to have you back onstage here again if it all works out. .
As far as friendship goes, I dont care if you are IFBB, PDI, ABBA, NABBA or whatever, we go back!

[New Hank Wood]

Tony, you are a stand up guy.  You have so much respect in the industry and are always working to improve it!

Your posts reflect an honest depiction of Lee. You obviously respect the man greatly.  Lee is lucky to have a friend like you!

Now that you have confirmed it, i wish Lee all the best.  I hope all works out for his unwell Gran. 

Lee loves his family deeply, and what he is doing should be model to us all.

Again, i wish Lee's family all the best in this sad time!

And also, Tony, i think Lee would really appreciate the support you are offering him!

[Fulgorre]

Shut the fuck up Sean!  You fat pussy

I have been guilty of criticising Lee.  However, in this case he has his priorities correct; Family is infinitely more important than Pro Bodybuilding!

Lee, you will gain so many more fans from making this hard decision.  You have put your family first.
