Ed Van Amsterdam receives Olympia wild card?

[chainsaw]

Chick is on the phone bitching right now to the commitee.
I can see it happening.  "No one told me, and I'm the competitor rep"
bla bla bla.

I'll laugh my ASS OFF when it is true and confirmed, and do it to chicks face!

[mantronik]

No, he will not be granted a special invite. If he's going, he will have to qualify like everyone else

agreed!

[axestream]

All I know is that either Ed or Bob will look like a fool when the official competitors list is published. Somehow I can't help but root for Ed on this matter (even though I feel a wild card would be absurd).

[Cleanest Natural]

Dont think of it as an "owning", but rather...a "moment of clarity"

u realize I was being ironic 

[Mars]

lol how can be one of the two so wrong in this haha. only in pro bodybuilding.

[240 is Back]

NO ONE has a special invite to the Olympia this year.

Just curious, Bob.

What is the standard 2009 procedure for announcing an invitation to the O?

Is there a certain paper that would be filed, etc?  Some place where official invites are posted?  

[wild willie]

why say it's luke when it'S clearly lee?

DUDE.....TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE PICTURE......IT IS LUKE WOOD!!!!!

Chic is right on this one.

"It ain't gonna happen" are the exact words that were used to be more specific.


However, once again it is becoming painfully clear just how poor Chic handles his pr duties as an athletes representative. In a situation like this one needs to look after the interests of the athlete yet somehow he always manages to tarnish the reputation of said athlete and make it appear as if he is the union's representative.

ed says he's pretty sad bout all the shit people talk
ultimate nutrition did give him the invite

Lessons learned from this thread:

1) Manion forgot to tell his boy chick, about the special invite
2) chick poses for gay pictures, which he claims are not gay

One needs to look at the interests of ALL the athletes...and giving special invitesfor no good reason aint going to sit too well with any of the rest of them that are trying to qualify by placing at a Pro show...

NO invites are given for sponsor consideration...PERIOD.

This has nothing to do with Ed, or Ultimate Nutrition...it has to do with a system we have in place

[io856]

Ed Van Amsterdam is going to be competing in the Olympia... bottom line... no question about it

[chaos]

Question for you Chicklet............have you, as the "athletes rep", personally called Mr. van Amsterdam to clear the air of any miscommunications?

No...he is certainly welcome to contact me, or Robin Chang. To date, I have no reason to believe that it's Ed who believes there is any miscommunication.

I can get 3.4 pounds of MLO mus-l blast for just under $10......that price blows away any Egg white product that Bob Chick can put out on the market..... and probably with superior results as well.

Wouldn't you, as "athletes rep", want to make sure this guy doesn't spend a fuckload of money preparing for a contest he won't be competing in?

How long would it take to make that phone call or send an e-mail?

When did the system change?

Hollywood Fu. Its the deadly art of prearranged fight sequences and wild camera angles.
