Sign the Official Petition to have Lee presit re-instated

http://www.petitiononline.com/m4a3d2a1/petition-sign.html

Sign Lee's petition if you believe he should be reinstated by the IFBB. I am not trying to sway anyone's decision, but please do not forget how vocal Lee was when the women bodybuilders were relegated to the Expo stage for the Ms. Olympia finals a few years ago.

he competed in a rival organization and was given a one-year suspension from the IFBB.

He served his year.
He has severed all ties with the rival organization.

However, NOW, the IFBB has decided just to make it a lifetime ban instead.

Imagine if you shoplifted, were given a 30-day jail sentence, and when you had served your 30 days, and tried to get released, the judge decided just to keep you locked up for life without parole.

I think Craig Titus has a better shot at getting back in the IFBB than Priest does now. Seriously.

Fvcking with Priest like they did Aaron Baker? Don't they know it gets kinda old? It turns people off of bbing, this old formula should have have died off when they recognize the fcking over good physiques. They need someone like L. Priest, especially after the worst Mr. o in a while. They need Priest to drive up pub sales (Flex and M&F can run arm training articles on Lee) Musclemag can do a interview on Lee's life... Bbing is full of idiots in very badly tailored suits who know shit about marketing and the bottom line.

I am a fan of his. but let me see if i have this correct:

1. Lee says the IFBB is a joke, etc etc

2. Lee joins the PDI, and says screw the IFBB, etc.

3. Now be wants back in, and wants back in right now?

4. Now he is upset they don't want him?

Captain Equipoise · « **Reply #15 on:** October 05, 2007, 01:27:26 PM »

Are you guys serious ?!??! the guy's done.. look at him, he's aging, he's covered in tattoos, he's a freak show, even if he was reinstated there's no way he'd place top 10 in any ifbb show... what's the point ?

theworm · « **Reply #16 on:** October 05, 2007, 01:33:16 PM »

yeah, pretty retarted to get all those tattoos. maybe cool in australia, but pretty much redneck trash here in the US.

This would NOT be an issue for an amatuer and a court case of the NPC vs AAU physique ( 1980's) already decided it was UNlawful to restrict a bodybuilder from competing in various sanctions.

This is PRO bodybuiding and all about $$$ and contracts. The above legal standard does not apply in the case of a pro. I suspect Lee knows this and realizes that the PDI is going nowhere fast.
Lee made his choice and took his shot with the PDI, now he regrets it.
Imagine a chemist leaving COKE , bad mouthing them and getting a job at another drink company that does not make it very big. Fearing the enevitable "lay off" he tries to get his old job back.
Are they under any obligation to hire him back ? NO!

I like Lee as a pro bodybuilder , but sadly, feel his career decisions are not too wise at times, like some others in this sport

This is the same guy that got a warrior tatoo, ON HIS FACE

I do feel that if the fans demanded his IFBB return in great numbers, they would seriously consider letting him back in . However, with a whole stable of new guys and some well known vets, it is unlikely the IFBB needs Lee Priest after the Olympia had a 9000 fan sell out at the night show.
I think Lee had his best days in the sport already and perhaps should move on to full time race car driving??

Well said. Lee is a great bodybuilder but he has little man's syndrome and shoots his mouth off too shut. He needs to grow up and learn that every action has a consequence. I wish him the best, but he's gotta swallow his medicine.

As a better bodybuilder than I told me when I when I asked about the Lee P situation:
" he got a tatoo ON HIS FACE" what else needs to be said about his judgement.

He will be one the great short bodybuilders however and I enjoyed seeing him on stage.

While I can appreciate the "petition" to have Lee reinstated...it will have no bearing on any decision made by the IFBB.
