After seeing the 2009 Team Universe, especially the heavyweight class.I was thinking of giving the 2010 TU a shot.I been off all anabolics for over 2 1/2 years.The drug test requires only 1 year clean.Right now I am 248 lbs and I could get up to 255lbs naturally.My body cannot get over 255lbs without anabolics, my metabolism is just to fast.
I figure I could step on stage at 220 -225lbs lean and hard.Plus after 24 years of training I got alot of muscle maturity.We shall see.I am going to start training for it.If I think I am ready 12 weeks out , I am going for it.Whats funny is people thought I looked better when I was natural then I did on anabolics, lol........Maybe they are right

Oh ok, thought you might be somoene else... but what a coincidence, some idiot kept bugging me online a couple years ago using your pics claiming he was you. Wish I could remember the details now.

why not john

but why not use drugs, they all do at that show

GetItOnNY · « **Reply #10 on:** December 12, 2009, 10:32:28 AM »

Curt Thank you.....I know I cant do WNBF or re-use my PNBA, pro card, because I have to be drug free for 7 years.I am not going to lie
Stavios I wouldn't enter a natural show on drugs, even if everybody else did.Its about integrity.When I did Team Universe, and the Muscle Mania I was totally drug free...Where the other competitors? Probably not.In my opinion if you enter a drug tested show on drugs, you are a scum bag and a loser.If your natural or claim to be natural be natural.
If you use drugs, be a real man and compete against the guys on drugs.
I hate these head hunters who go into natural shows, juiced out of there mind and make people think they are natural....I don't know how they look themselves in the mirror....
They are liars ,crooks, and scum!!!!!

The drug test requires only 1 year clean.

the rules state 3 years drug free, but the contest only 'requires' you to pass the test the day of the show.

If John uses his OWN supplements then he isn't steroid free.

bb.com dropped his line due to the possibly illegal anabolic steroids he was selling

Tell that to the female overall winner who got her pro card taken from her for failing the drug test. They test the top 2 in each class usually.

Van BB.COM Didn't drop me, because of that.....They still owe me $10,000 so I am the one who terminated the relationship......Van if you did your home work, the FDAwas after a formula that I stopped making a year and a half ago.The product name was the same, but the ingredients changed.Bodybuilding.com didn't update the supplements facts so the FDA thought I was still selling that particular hormone.The FDA has even contacted me...so?

Van unless you no the facts please keep quiet.There was 50-60 companies that the FDA went after that bodybuilding.com sold....Did they drop any of those companies.....No!!!!!!
Our reltationship being terminated with bb.com had nothing to do with the FDA.....
It is now going to be in litigation, because of unpaid invoices, ...Plain and simple

Yes, I heard about some other companies complaining. ALR terminated their contract with BB.com as well as a few more. Don't know what's going on with them

Really? So maybe he would have been able to continue selling his protein etc but John is deeply involved in the hormone business. He only sold one hormone a year and a half ago?

Quote from: GetItOnNY on October 13, 2009, 10:56:52 AM

We are a protein company, not a hormone company.Prohormones only make up about 20% of our revenue.So if they take away prohormones, it wont hurt us that much.Plus since bodybuiilding .com has pulled our hormones off of there website it iincreased our sales of prohormones by over 300%.People are now in a panic and are buying up al the prohormones thety can get there hands on.
Vince we have always been a protein manufacture, so no matter what, we will always prosper.
But I must say its really nice that peope are buying up all our prohormones, for 2 reasons.1) its makiing us good money very fast 2) if the FDA bans prohormones, we wont have any left ,so if they come nto our werehouse, they wont find anything, lol

Vince most of our prohormones arent even sold in the USA,anyways, they are sold in other countires.The USA s to much of a hassle.Even iif they ban prohormones in the USA, we will be fine because we sell aot more in other countries.

To everybody, if you want to use prohormes or are thinking about using prohormones buy them now !!! Dont wait, when there gone they are gone.
We havent heard anything from the FDA but that doesnt mean they wont just wont put a" blanket" on prohormones.A blanket means they dont just ban certain compounds the 4 chloro, but they ban them all.
If they just ban certan compounds that is good news.We can just change a particuar hormone and just make it a diffrent by one molecule and its legal again.
Plus there are alof of pretty decent hormones that were around in the 1960's that the FDA doesnt know about or forgot about.
So Vince you might be happy bb.com took down some of my products, but it only helped has us.When a door closes, you ether find another door, or use the window.There is always an openng if you look hard enough, lol

This guy doesn't use his own products I'm sure.

He was owed $10K....umm...thats right, keep selling product in the hopes that he will get paid on that stuff too. Hell of a business decision.

So what if he uses some of his own products? Dont recall if the TU bans prohormones....but I doubt they do.

I don't believe it. Name some names. People who test positive may not go to the Worlds, but its not in the IFBB interest to rescind an invitation to compete in pro contests where extreme drug use is mandatory.

First of all Bodybuilding.com is a great company, I like Jeremy and Russ Deluca.
The problem was I was always owed $25,000 plus all the time..Ever since they got bought out by QVC the orders came in faster and the checks went out slower.
We gave them great pricing, and even paid shipping so are margins were very very slim.
I do want to do business again with them in the future,but the payments have to be within 7 days like we agreed upon not 7 weeks.

Now as far as Team Universe goes, I am going to start training next week.I haven't trained in 4 weeks I took a break.I am going to look at the rules, and if the rules say no prohormones, or no Ephedra, I wont use it....I will follow the rules to a "T".....
If I enter a natural show, I want to win or do well with integrity.
I maybe the only 'real" natural guy on that stage, but I will be able to look myself in the mirror, and live with myself.I don't know how guys can go around claiming there natural yet they use gear....Its stupid.When it comes to being natural or steroids I am totally neutral...
I dont judge anybody,,, its your body its your choice.If you do steroids your not a druggie, and if your natural you not swimmer.......We are all Athletes, we just chose diffrent paths to go down.......Van say what you want my supplements work,,,,,ask Curt, Drugfreeforlife, he will tell you...He has used my products for at least 6 years.All of my products are made in a GMP approved facility, and will make label claim....Trust me if I was devious and cut corners my company would be alot bigger.....But I am an athlete so I think like an athlete.
I make products that I would use, if I wouldn't use it why would I want someones to???
