Vince Basile: You seem to harbour much bitterness towards Chick!

[alejandro_torres]

Same way people cheat on their taxes...don;t get caught.

i have a question... if some pro actually showed or filmed when he was injecting some kind of steroid to his body... would the ifbb do something about it?

Why shouldn't the public accept natural, muscular physiques? They surely don't accept the drug assisted ones.

Steeve Reeves as Hercules was hugely popular in 59-60. Millions of guys like myself were inspired to look like him. I doubt many young guys want to look like Yates, Coleman or Cutler.

shut up old man

steve reeves looks fucking average to me

devot emy life, to building an average looking, human looking body?

fuck off dip shit

2 dbol per day my ass

2 dbol is appetizer

[Moosejay]

Bob, you must be the only athletes rep in sport who can make this disgraceful statement.

All athletes reps in every sport suggest these words, maybe not as directly, but through their actions or inactions...Bob is no different from them.  

[Vince B]

Still looking for your answer.....5th time asked.

Whatever does how popular bodybuilding is have to do with the issue of allowing banned substances to be used by athletes? I do care about bodybuilding and know it can be more popular. It needs companies who will spend money on ads, etc. At the moment supplement companies spend a lot of money because they make money through bodybuilders. It is another thing when the general public are involved. How is any company going to profit from promoting drugged athletes? The cleanup must precede any progress in the appeal of the public. The damage done is almost irreversible. Musclemen can now be dismissed because they used drugs to get big. The old issues of being dumb, musclebound, egotistic and perhaps gay are not needed. These guys use drugs to get big so why should anyone respect or admire them? The fact that 'everyone' uses those drugs completely condemns the whole sport.

Bob is openly bringing the sport of bodybuilding into disrepute by saying that it is okay to use drugs as long as everyone else is doing so. No IFBB award for services to bodybuilding for Bob Chick!

I trained for 11 years before trying anabolics. Not many pros can say that today. Bob can't disclose what he or anyone else 'had' to take to be competitive on the playing field. The truth is he would be totally embarrassed by any accurate disclosure. Especially shameful is the length of time these dangerous protocols were followed.

[alejandro_torres]

no

so what do you mean by not get caught?

Thanks for that answer...now try answering the question I asked.

[Vince B]

Bob, you won't answer the question I asked you. I am candid about my drug use that I regret. You won't say much except that you took the chemical path to win titles. What exactly is that chemical route? Surely 2 Dianabol tablets a day for a couple of months is not going to prepare you for a top open title today?

The constitution of the IFBB insists that no banned substances be used in the sport. That some people in the IFBB and pro committee do not enforce those rules is hardly their prerogative. It is their duty to not support these drugs or condone their use. You bring the sport of bodybuilding down by being so cavalier and 'practical' about anabolic steroids and other drugs. Stand up for something good. Do not justify those drugs. I would rather see clean contests instead of those shams you call bodybuilding contests today. There is not that much building involved.

We won't have to worry about the popularity of the sport once it is totally cleaned up. Resign your position if you don't have the integrity to comply with the code of ethics.

vince you could go on 15 grams of testosterone a week, 5 grams deca a week, and 200mg dbol a day, with 35 iu's gh per day as well...train your ass off for 15 years straight, eat 500 grams of protein daily...IN YOUR PRIME, and you still wouldnt look half as good as the current top 6 in the olympia


shut the fuck up

You refuse to answer because you don't have an answer....you're full of hot air as usual. The topic at hand has nothing to do with what I choise to use or not use, and has no bearing on what YOU stated...

[New Hank Wood]

Basile, why are you ducking and weaving Bob's question?  Your convoluted posts are only designed to bamboozle, because you don't have the answer. 

Oh yeah, you  appear to be 'haunted' by your past drug-use Vince.  Bottom line, you did 'use'.  Making your intentions and motivations no different than that of the Pro's today!

And yes, i take back what i said earlier; turning up to a stranger's funeral and taking pics of his grandson is down right insidious, creepy and has 'internet stalker' written all over it!

When are you knock the end or bean stalk is right on top of hullabaloo full idiot! 

[New Hank Wood]

Basile, when you have finished answering Bob's question, i have a few of my own:

What were you thinking when you decided to crash the funeral of a dead grandfather you never knew? 

What do you intend doing with the photos you took of Lee and his family?

Did you introduce yourself to the family as an internet-friend of Lee's?

Do you think you have taken this whole Getbig-family thing to a new low?

Are you aware of recently passed 'internet stalking legislation'?

I would like to see these questions answered? RIP to your/my dead grandparents, but if i was to show up to one of your Grandparents funeral and say "Hey man, Im Quickerblade from Getbig just came to say hi" i would expect to be thrown out for disrespect.

[Quickerblade]

What were you thinking when you decided to crash the funeral of a dead grandfather you never knew? 

This needs to be answered!! some of us get along with eachother online and some just hate eachother, but dont you think its a bit weird to travel a far distance to attend a funeral of someone you don't know, let alone anyone in the family, and the only way your associated with the deceased is cause you posted in the same forum as there grandson...Vince you crossed the line, but its funny. how the fuck can u be bothered to drive that far to attend a funeral of a man u never knew...oh shit

[webcake]

I wanna know what Vince wore to the funeral. Another white tiger shirt perhaps?

[Quickerblade]

webke_112 u seem like a cool character! but if you showed up to my grandparents funeral and said "Im webke_112 from getbig, i heard your grand dad died" i'd call the cops and charge u for stalking. hahahhaaha...(im speaking hypothetically of course)

[webcake]

lol, i'd do the same thing mate

So how did he introduce himself to Lee's family "hi im vince, an internet friend of Lee's..." (akward silence)

wtf?!

[GoneAway]

It was nice of Vince to pass on his condolences, but going to the funeral was a bit too much. Still, Vince was just trying to show support to Lee and his family.

Look, as i stated earlier Vince is an eccentric character.  Getbig has become his family. Turning up to the funeral is what family do, albeit 'an internet family'.
...
In summary, Vince believes in his mind he is 'related' because he is part of the Getbig-family! And yes, family is family!

I'd say that about sums it up. Vince meant no harm, but it was just an unusual thing to do.

[New Hank Wood]

Yes, Basile has crossed the line! 

The more i am learning about Vince and his attendance ( with camera in hand) to this funeral, the more the guy is creeping me out!

Vince, you must speak on this.  Your behaviour is pathological.  I would even as go as far as suggesting you are a borderline sociopath!

[Quickerblade]

I wrote to Lee and apologized if I wasn't welcome there. I doubt Owen would have minded. The stories I heard about him made me respect and admire the guy. Lee is a chip off that block and it was great to see the sensitive side of Lee who spoke with much feeling after losing his cherished grandfather. He lost his grandmother about 5 months ago so it was doubly hard to lose Owen.

Jesus christ, you know your wrong for attending thats why you wrote to him, what kind of leech are you, u drove 2 hours to attend a funeral u werent welcome to, then u claim "i doubt Owen would have mind" do you communicate with dead people to!

[New Hank Wood]

Owen would be turning in his grave right now Vince! 

How dare you take the liberty of 'showing up' at a private family function. 

A funeral provides the opportunity for family members and friends to grieve for the one that has passed over.  It is NOT  the place for a lonely, prying, internet troll to attend.

How could you be so cold and heartless Vince.  I cant think of a more selfish act.  You gate-crash a funeral, and then to make matters worse, start photographing a family in mourning!

I suppose you signed the condolences register as well. Imagine it went something like this;

Dearest Owen,
                     Even though i didn't know you i hear from my internet-friend Lee that you were an  amazing Grandfather. You are at peace now. And dont worry for your rebel-Grandson, i will watch over him.

God Bless, Vince Basile IFBB Mr. Canada.   

[GoneAway]

I think Lee was fine with Vince showing up. They seem to be friends, and as Vince said, they can relate to eachother - both being outcasts and ridiculed for various things.

Vince,delete your account PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[omgsoswole]

Who the hell takes a camera to a funeral anyway?
