Here's the problem with your logic. Dorian did not dominate the field in his olympia wins besides 1993. There was always controversy surrounding Dorian's wins supported by picture and video evidence. The only thing Dorian nuthuggers have to hold onto are the stupid scoresheets which are in fact void in my opinion considering Dorian was a very close friend of the head IFBB judge, who also happened to house Dorian and let him train in his gym. He also helped Dorian prepare backstage. How is that any different from insider trading on the stock market, or a manager gambling on his team in baseball??? It's a fraud.
There has NEVER been any controversy about Ronnie's olympia wins besides 2001 and 2002. You can look at any picture or video and Ronnie is always clearly the best man. This is simply not the case with Yates. In fact, with Yates I often find myself embarrased to look at some of his pictures or videos and scratch my head how he won.
you fail to realize that whatever your opinion may be about dorian, the reality is different. i have never seen an olympia report from 92-97 that says dorian SHOULD NOT have won. if you find one, please post it.
this was written by someone who actually attended the contest and has years of experience reviewing contests. i assume their opinion is valid considering a magazine pays that person to review the contests. generally, most sports reporters have more expertice in the area that they cover over internet fans -like me and you. that's why in baseball and football, the majority of hall of fame votes are from the writers/reporters.
do you have to agree with whatever they write? of course not. everyone has their opinion.
score sheets represent an written account of the contest. its the interpretation of the pictures. the scoresheets arent subjective like your's and hulkster's opinion.
if ronnie's scoresheets looked anything like dorian's, you would say the exact same thing about how 2000, 01, and 04 werent close contests. but with dorian, you use the scoresheets against him saying that they dont count, but rather
YOUR opinion does.
so the scoresheets and ronnie's own words arent good enough. what else do you need?
you really think that steve weinberger has that much pull do make sure dorian wins every year that he competed in? back then i dont think he was even a head judge yet.
yes, i agree with you in that there was has been less controversy over ronnie's wins. that's bc the competition was so weak.
first you and hulkster made claims on yates' flaws. now its politics. at least with pictures there is something to look at and everyone has their own opinion. but with these silly political claims, you have no proof or evidence. pure speculation.
whatever advantage you say dorian had with the judges, ronnie had it as well - the years that he was supposed to loose. just as any multi mr. olympia did.
