Ed Van Amsterdam receives Olympia wild card?

I'll bet poor Ed is comforted by the fact that you can explain yanking his special invite on the basis of "logic". 

Chick isn't guilty of yanking anything - except maybe your chain  

The promoter hasn't requested a special invite.
And I know Bob well enough to say that had Ed, or anyone else been given one, he would not try to "yank" it.

"poor" Ed was never given aan invite to be yanked....

Kinda thick headed arent you?

It's a good thing Lee and Milos have been reinstated now, so you can spend more of your valuable time as Athlete's Rep working tirelessly to keep Ed Van Amsterdam out of the Olympia.  I know Ed appreciates your efforts...  it's not like he really wanted to compete in bodybuilding's biggest show or anything.

I dont have to "keep him out"..he was never IN

If he wants to compete in the Olympia, I suggest he enter one of the 3 remaining qualifyers

It's okay, Bob...  we know you don't want to see European competitors in the Olympia...  actually, I think it's darn patriotic of you, what you're doing keeping the Euros out.  Keep up the good work!

Consistent since when? 2002 !

oh wow! the IFBB is consistent for at least 7 years in a row.
the olympia has been going on for how long? over 40 years.

Gunter consistently got in, year in year out. No problem with the IFBB.
Ed requests one, big problem with the IFBB.

Was Ed not marketable enough ?

Gunther was the last person to get one so the lack of special invites has actually been consistent since 2002. And although special invites have been awarded in the past it is still down to the promoter to request one. He's not forced to.

Chicks logic:

Drugs are illegal, but they are used so its ok
Murder is illegal, but it happens so its ok

epic rationalization.

You're wasting your time Kev...logic is lost on these fools

Its already been explained, Idiot....it's up to the PROMOTER.  The OLD promoter gave out special invites...the NEW one doesn't.

GET IT?

they don't need euros, Bernard Madoff will give to American Media and Pecker all the money they need
