Muscletech advertised with Muscular Development magazine for almost a decade.

When Muscletech decided to end the business relationship, the top research scientist from MD went on the bodybuilding forums exactly 2 days later, and announced that Muscletech had been running false advertisements for years about one of their top selling products.

The ensuing shake-up cost Muscletech a lot of money - Aplodan advertising has been dropped, labels reprinted, and it's a 'done' product now... GNC is just selling it off and not reordering.

My question is, does MD commonly destroy business partners when they decide to part ways?

"... the top research scientist from MD ...."

So you doubt Anzis Mangina's epically critical harvard research-paper on Aplodan?

LOL!

If he isn't answering, the answer is probably yes.

Anssi, get the MD guys to give me a free subscription to the magazine and I will advertise it on my website and do damage control for MD here on getbig.

Are you saying that MD will now be 100 pages lighter from the absence of MT ads???

MuscleTech will never be out of MD, Flex and MuscleMag. It's like the law of bodybuilding nature and magazines.
