"That is why i also decided to pull out last year as i have said before it was usigned."

So you still used the tickets anyway?

Class.

Why i am only one person and Bob says he can do nothing for me? Isaac can't wait to meet you in person

Ah Lee we all know you love to stir up shit. How can you assume Bob would do nothing for you if you don't go to him first? Instead of going to Chic, you complain to Marc knowing he will post it here for all to see. You two are grown men and assume have each other's phone numbers, why not call and settle it?

I look forward to meeting you in person this weekend as well Lee. Maybe Ron can take a photo of a getbig group hug. Marc can you create a post and see if chic is available to meet for a group hug at the Europa?

Off topic: Robin told Twinlab to keep 70k the next year. Looks like they just keep finding more ways to lose money on the O weekend...

Lee are you prepared to be racked over the coals ala WBF guys? They beat those guys up for years, that my friends is the definition of "diry pool". Good luck Lee, I hope the PDI does well for the simple fact that it will make the sport better.

Because Vince is the most important man in bodybuilding. He is... the word.

Actually paul Dillet was known in his MD columns as the WORD.

Vince is the DECLARATION.

After last year i asked about paying back the airfare and the hotel i had them cancell a month before whn i told them i was not competing.

I thought you cancelled a week before? All this sparks more intereste for the O

Lee you know the right thing is to pay your own way now though right?

Well, it turned out that Lee had used the credit from the ticket for his and a friend’s personal travel sometimes during the year, without reimbursing back AMI, and did not mention a word to AMI when they contacted what flights he wanted for this year. Only when they tried to use the credit did they find out there wasn’t any. What the hell?

Quote from: Chick on August 21, 2006, 10:11:27 PM

They were non refundable tickets made in Lee's name, for (2) people I believe...

Fair is fair...Technically, Lee owes Robin Chang (promoter) for 2 tickets. Instead of these guys trading $20 bills...Lee can purchase his own tickets, and they're even.

I find it hard to believe both of you would post wrong info before Lee even posted here once...

I dont mind paying my own way.Twinlab would pay it anyway so i am not bothered.This just makes my whole Oympia contract null invoid then.So i should not be expected to do anything in it just apart from compete

Why are you so insistent that Lee go through Bob in order to pursue resolution? This is at least your 2nd post to that effect.

The issue is between Lee and AMI, correct?

Are you saying that Bob is also the 'AMI athletes' rep'?

Hmm...

1. Did they issue you flight tickets for last years show?
2. Did you use them for a different flight?
3. Did they agree that you could change the tickets?

If 1 and 2 are true but 3 is false then you owe them the tickets and it is not unreasonable for them to expect you to pay for your tickets this year.

I think Adam Empire was right here. Those are two different contracts. Chang has every right to take action for last year's contract issues. But this is a different contract. Chang should not have offered it to Lee if Chang was unhappy about last year. I don't see where Chang has any legal basis to break the contract here.

ROFL . . . 240 when did you earn a legal degree? Do you read the self indulgent bull shit you post here?

I tell ya man, it was like 4 am and I was still working. You know how sometimes, late at night, the philosophical side of things takes over and you start thinking on a higher plane? In the morning, it's back to reality of course.

To much of a gentleman that why he told Twinalb last year"LEE PRIEST IS NOT GOING ON STAGE TO HAND OUT AN AWARD" Twinlab said we gave you over 70,000 in sponosrship for the 0.And Lee is our top athlete to hand out the award.He replied"i don't care next year keep your money"
I met a few people this week who are not going tothe O they have been 10 years in a row but after last years mess they are not going again.Yeah great job last year that is why i said that comment.Now you know

Actually, now that you mention it, I remember hearing that story somewhere. Don't you think that he had reasons for saying that to Twinlab though? You pulling out of the show at the last minute was a big blow to the Olympia last year as you were one of the favorite athlete. Many people came all the way from Australia with their family just to see you compete, I remember reading their posts on the boards and their were so dissapointed/pissed off that you did not. You did not seem to care back then, you just said, I had to do what I had to do.
You are right with the fact that the new venue had a few technical problems last year but you have to remember that after spending so many years at the Mandalay, they had things down, this was the 1st year at a new Casino, I'm sure this year, a lot of the bugs will be worked out and the show will run lot smoother, don't you agree?
Lastly, why were you so personal in your attack at Robin in the mags? Did he do something to you on a personal level? What you said wasn't cool, you have to know that.

Why? Read the last line of Marc's post. While I agree the issue is between Lee and AMI; Marc and now Lee brought this matter to the boards trying to make its Chic's issue.

Chic as athletes rep - do you think you should wade in here and sort this out for lee - I mean lee is a IFBB Pro right !!

Hope this helps.

For the record, handing out awards onstage is grossly overrated.

This is so simple I can't believe it's gone 5 pages...

1. First, it's NOT AN IFBB MATTER...it's an issue between Robin (promoter) and Lee (athlete).

2. To LEE:

DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT USE THE TICKET FOR PERSONAL USE?

Bob is not the athlete's rep. He has made this abundantly clear. Maybe a new title or designation like IFBB Rep. instead. This isn't intended as a rip, just being honest.

Surely if the promoter this not functioning within the rules set out in the IFBB rulebook, it is an IFBB matter.

3.2 Olympia:
In Olympia competitions, all competitors, since they must qualify, will be
provided with a round-trip economy-class airline ticket, accommodations at the
Official Hotel for a minimum of three nights, US $50.00 per day for food and
miscellaneous expenses, and one guest ticket for the Prejudging and Finals.

Funny how that will now be ignored twice $:-\$ I don't think some people like to see they might be incorrect.

So AMI has no agreement with the IFBB for the O and doesn't need to follow their contracts with IFBB Pros? Still sounds like an issue for the athletes rep.

That rule is applied to the promoters.
What's in question is if they should purchase him another one IF he owes them for one previously issued.
