I have to agree with Lee being banned, as he broke the rules and the ONE rule he broke happens to be one of the ones that helped build pro bodybuilding into the multi million dollar business that it is. (granted very little of that is filtered down to the athletes)
However I also agree with Lee's comments on enforcing the rules, ALL rules should be enforced, Jewellery onstage? trunks covering more than 75% of the glutes, this really ticks me off, come on how gay does that look, if your glutes are in shape they are gonna been noticed no matter what, just check out Gaspari at the 85/86 Olympia's. Drug testing?? Come on, this rule only applies to tested events, if it is a non tested show then whats the problem???
I have only seen Lee live once, Pro Ironman '04, and the dude thore the house down, I actually couldnt beleive his arms were that impressive.
Back to the main topic, should he be banned?? YES
Should he have his hearing/appeal prior to the Olympia yes what would it take a couple of hours to plead his case!!
