I couldn't find them either....until I noticed it wasn't "Los Angeles" championships!!! :o
So nevermind ;D

The show sucked ass. I was a heavy-weight competitor who got disqualified because I hadn't lived there long enough. Bunch of bullshit. I was winning the whole thing just look at the pictures they don't lie. After I did pre-judging in the morning i came back for the finals and they did this corny intro for the athletes they pulled me in the back and asked to see my ID. I showed them and they said it was ok sorry for the misunderstanding only to come back 15 mins later to tell me they had called the head office and said I had to live there for 6 months. Yea ok you must think I'm a f*cking idiot to believe someone is going to answer the phone on a saturday at 6 pm, whatever. Later that night Gustavo, my trainer, and I are going to eat and one of the judges pull me aside and told me that I was winning the whole thing but one of the sponsors athletes was in my class and was behind me, no doubt, and was bitching about pulling out for next year. That's the only thing they could have done because I was so far ahead of every one in my class that it would have been obvious if I got second. Louisiana sucks and from what I saw there may be only one national class competitor to come from that state. Anyway look at the picture of the lineup on the bottom of page 20 and guess which one I am, it won't be hard.

website was to hard to navigate jbrice post some of your pics up.
Sucks to hear that bro, that happend to me once I know how you feel, politics is a bitch. Hey at least they saw you were too good and they could not get away with just bouncing you down to 2nd place, and they decided they had to get rid of you totally.
Did you get your $$ back? Haha it's like $75 but watch how hard it is to get that piss amount back, they act like it's a monumental conagra contract.

No he actually gave it back and apologized saying that he thought what they did was wrong and he hoped I can back next year. Could have been BS though. Just click on 2007 photos up top in the middle and then click july 14, then go down and click "20" it's the bottom lineup

thats 1700 photos too many
-
ask to see where it is documented that you must be a resident for at least 6 months. if that wasn't already in the rule book, threaten to take them to court.

That's the thing I asked to see a rule book and there was none on hand. I would have made a scene but this was my first NPC show and I don't want to get a bad name for myself. They'll wish that they can claim me once I get a big name for myself.

1. If this story is true, then you have to do something about it...don't let it slide, I mean you dieted and trained for that show didn't you?! ::)
2. Regarding getting a bad name for yourself...there are quite a few pros right now that will be glad to tell you that this crap doesn't just stop at the NPC (lee, milos, jay etc), if you're going to lay down for this, go find something better to do ;)

Wow, really. Sounds like a really good NPC show promoter then, you don't find that often.

http://www.lachampionships.com/ states "Must be a resident of Louisiana". The entry form only says "NPC rules will prevail". I see nothing on npcnewsonline.com about residency.

I'm the black guy with gold trunks, the only one with striated glutes. I'm just p*ssed because it's my first NPC show and this is how I got treated. Hell no I'm not gonna sit back and take it, it's just fuel for my fire.

why don't you organize these pictures in some way
nobody wants to click through 25 fucking pages ::)

The black guy who won the lightHW and overall looks pretty good to me. That HW class isn't as impressive. It does suck that they didn't let you compete bc you should have one your class.

That's my boy Ken Hensley, my former trainingspartner when he was still living here in the Caribbean.

Looking pretty damn good at the LA show this year

You're 1 or 2. The guy next to you (with hair) is in contention, i think you had it but his legs are better.

looks a little like a young Dexter Jackson

Did you know specifically which guy was the one who bitched about you?
Also, you could easily pull the race card and stir up a media shitstorm.

Well done on your condition etc mate, from those shots you looked like the winner to me, just a better all round build and more mass i would say. Good luck at your next comp, don't let it stop you 8).

Thanks, this was my very first show so it's shows me what I need to work on and how I compare to other state level athletes. I'm already in the gym getting ready for next year.

I find it hard to beleive that there would be corruption in Louisana, much less bodybuilding judging!

I wrote the promoter and the district chairman and received a reply from Robin Tesvich. He (or is it a she?) states that you could show no proof of residency, only a letter from a lawyer stating that you were applying for a Louisiana driver's license. That you admitted to only moving to the state 3 weeks earlier.
It was not a six month issue. Had you been able to show a utility or credit card bill with a Louisiana address, or even an apartment rental agreement, you would probably have been ok.
-
this can happen in pagents.....not sports.
Are saying that bodybuilding shows are more like a beauty contest for the benefit of gay men than an athletic competition?

No the letter stated that I was a resident that I was waiting for my SS card to come in so I could get my license. You need a birth certificate, your SS card, and your out of state drivers license to get one there. When I showed the three judges the paper they said that was good that it was notarized and signed so therefor I was good to go. They came back 15 mins later saying the had called the head office and that's when the 6 month issue came about. Yes I had told them I was only there three weeks I have no reason to lie. Don't let them bull crap you, I said it exactly how it happened.
