Should bodybuilders with criminal records allowed to be a pro?

I'm saying that it's a form of discrimination to get people broke and back in prison, yes there are situations such as working with kids, but in the big scheme of things, the people running these industries are the biggest criminals who get a free pass, while others are singled out, if you only knew the crimes against children the elite make, they run pedophile rings and molest innocent kids then go get on TV and everyone thinks they are some great person! Research elite circles and crimes against children, look what dcs just did, they are part of it too!

I dont have a problem with it.   To compete at the higher levels, you need to use drugs, which most people cannot get legally.  It is what it is.

[Ronnie Rep]

Would be a  Hypocrisy, competing in a sport that demands illegal drugs to be competitive!

[Z Father]

its actually discrimination to hire someone based on their past, massachusets is one of the only states that doesnt ask a person if they have been convicted of a crime on job applications..........ba rring convicted criminals from employment in usa is just  a way to bar them from the system, and a way to get them to seek out illegal means of making money so they can be thrown back in jail or prison.

it's easier to get a real job with a record than a shit job. if your resume is tight and you have experience, employers don't give a fuck if you can make them money.

if you are one of a thousand unskilled schlubs going for a laborer position, it's simply a way to cut down on applicants.

In the NFL, 30 players have been arrested since the Super Bowl.  People in Congress have an arrest record.  Shall we ban everyone?

No, the question is what type of arrest and criminal record, and how long ago it was.  

If it was for a violent crime, by all means.  But for non-violent crimes, you should always get a second chance.

[Coach is Back!]

It's 2013 in America- who doesn't have a felony record?

And not one fuck was given over what you think......

I agree but I was making a point, since Caro wants to bring the pros back to getbig.

a bank doesn't want a security guard who is on probation for theft or bank robbery.
Nor do stores want employees who are found guilty of theft---from their employers. Nor do doctor's offices want employees found guilty of identity theft. Background check---criminal, is necessary.

Don't eff up, and you will be straight. Many times, your past is what people have to go on. It's cop out for those who continually eff up, and get chance after chance in life, and when they don't get it, they get mad, because they believe that they are entitled.

Yes, there would clearly be a conflict of interest.

In peoples effort to be completely fair, they are eliminating common sense.

My problem is with special interest and funding....Theoretically a DUI conviction would hamper your ability to lead a productive life and maintane a job more than a murder conviction.

Maybe the real Mr Olympia is a resident in a federal prison somewhere?

Organizations have to make rules about conduct. The trouble is the IFBB has fabulous rules, more or less, but many are never enforced.

WHERE do you live fatso  in former penal colony of Botany Bay on Van Diemens Land now call Australia 
over 165 000 convicts were transported by the British Empire & at the least 30% of Australians have
convicts genes.

A sport where being the best involves how consistently you lift weights and how many illegal drugs you inject, and you're worried about criminal records?

Derpity derp derp.

Suprise,suprise Vince Basile & Caro suddenly pissed off

Who gives a fuck about criminal records, If the person without the greater overall package doesn't win the contest has no validity in terms of being a competition.

Agree, French Foreign Legion "officially"  don't enlist those with record 
just like western Security Contractors in Afghanistan, all "angels"
