"Yeah, the presentation factor was not something I was too comfortable with because I was a guy who mostly liked to go into the gym and train with weights, and build muscle. The whole onstage posing thing - just the very word posing - was all a bit gay to me, all a bit foreign. But I had to get comfortable with that and find my niche there. The way I presented myself was with very powerful, dominating classical music with a little rock muscle mixed in. This suited my persona and me. So that's one aspect of it." - Dorian Yates

I feel the same way. I liked his style too, I hated all that feminine slow music crap.

Dorian turned out to be a great, powerful poser.

There you have it- 6 time Mr O admits "competitive bodybuilding" (oiled med in thongs posing on a stage) is GAY.

what would happen if ronnie when he was a cop met mr yates when he was a skinhead in an alley?

how about on the football field when ronnie was a lb and yates was the waterboy?

b###h was lucky to be mr O...just muscle lumped together. boxy as the f##k. if AMI was around...he would have never been. talking s##t after they put money in his pocket and made him. go back to chasing minorities in liverpool and east london.

It sounds like someone doesn't like white people.

Given where he came from, I think Dorian's attitude can be respected - though hopefully not embraced. Even if I think him needlessly uptight about the homoeroticism in bodybuilding, his plainspokenness is disarming.

As was his torn bicep... yuk yuk.

you ought to have a little more respect, this isnt Ronnie we're talking about.

Dorian revolutionized the sport taking it to new heights. Came back from injury to win, the man was a true champion.
