He basically said "i overdid it with the diuretics" and it went right over Dan and bob's head

I think he was being candid for the fans and was honest. Those of us that know what precontest involves know he overdid it with water loss drugs/regimes. He pushed the envelope too far and admits he paid the price by a poor showing at the O

Wow... Freeman came right out and said he didn't even deserve 14th place.

Most pros wouldn't touch the issue, or would talk about how much higher they should have been.  I don't think I've ever heard a pro admit they placed higher than they deserved.  "I juist wanted to go home and watch the webcast"

Props to Toney.  He's 41 and probably only has 2 more years to make his mark... top 3 arnold classic last year tho...

Yup, that attitude will serve him well and make him bigger and better in 2008

I have made a decision to always be upbeat about BB , especially on the damn boards hehe.
Too many negative , things always suck kind of posts for my taste.
I see no reason to be negative about the sport I enjoy best and is my hobby and lifestyle.
When I go negative it brings me down.

Dorian said his stomach was killing him in the 1995 Mr. Olympia (I believe, but could have been 1994).  He said that in the issue of M&F which covered the contest if my memory is serving me correctly.

Stomach problems = all drugs.

Basically any ailment on the day of the contest is due to dehydration/drug use.

Just ask Toney straight up........Why didnt he use Palumbo for his olympia prep. When in the spring he used palumbo and recieved his best ever placing and condition.

This is a question EVERYONE wants to know the answer to.

I agree ... I tried to ask Toney when he Posted on this Forum a while back ... maybe 2 Months ago or so ... he refused to answer me ... kinda blew me off in a rude way, actually.  :-\

Listened to the show, Toney pretty much said he got sick from the diuretics, took too much, looked like shit, learned from his mistake and will be back better next season.

Well i just became a big Toney Freeman fan. Seems like a very honest and genuine bloke. Good to hear a pro who doesn't have too much of an ego.
No doubt about it...

Thats a good attitude to have Howie. I know all the shit some people say about bodybuilding can SOMETIMES be funny, but most the times it is unnecessary.

Mike, I remember Marty Vranicar from the mid eighties (where he won the Mr USA & international) and he looked much better then than now, no disrespect to Marty.
