I like Lee Priest, but the reality is that his bodybuilding career is finished. He's crossed the line too much with the IFBB. I think he has finally recognized from his latest fiasco, that the IFBB is the only real force in bodybuilding, and while they can give you fame, they can also take it away.
No name is too big to be excommunicated by the IFBB.
It appears that the IFBB will not let him back in, and with this lack of exposure in real shows, he will suffer the same demise, and eventually disappear like Jim Quinn, Mike Quinn, Dave Dearth, Aaron Baker, and Gary Strydom...sad but true.
Wish you well in your future endeavors Mr. Priest!
