Well that kind of narrows the choices.

Dude you are not far of the piont here , The sport does need a Public spokesman/women to front for it when ever the sport gets dissed on by the media or what ever , someone with moral fortitude and fiber, but dammmm who has that in this sport ??????
We need appeal, smarts and likeablity in a ambassador , they could be hired by the IFBB as there spokes person and face of Bodybuilding (insted of damm Ben Weider)
Any one got any ideas ???

steriods will always be an issue.....but they arn't its the human growth hormone....normal people don't care to realize this..to them its all the same.

A natural b.b could b a good one.................
i mean if u want him to be taken seriously out side b.b as that's what an ambassador is for.

I think it should be someone who has been at the top (top 5 in the "O" or Arnold, not just an "O" competitor) who is through competing who can also speak intelligently about gear and his trial and tribulations if it came up. A current pro obvisouly couldn't do that. I know I will get heat for this one but Shawn is the only one I know of who can speak on everyones behalf and isn't afraid to speak his mind. The only thing I wouldn't be sure of is if he would come out in the open and share his gear experiences with the media to give people a true insight as to what guys really do and how they deal with it...Feel free to slam me if you want, that's just my .02 worth ;D ;D ;D

Body building isn’t really a sport; it’s a beauty contest, but if Miss America can be an “ambassador” for the Miss America organization, why not body building . . . ?
Seriously, we all know that drugs are an indispensable part of bodybuilding. The many sad stories of bodybuilders who crash and burn, jeopardize their health, private pose (and more), inject oils, and all the rest make this a difficult activity to promote with credibility. Leave it as is: a recreational activity for men who like to pump up and pose for other men. ;)

That's pretty scary when you think of it that way!!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o

It should in theory be Ronnie. But seeing as he comes across as a big fuckin dope you can scratch that idea until he retires.
You would think that the Weiders with all their money and power could push the sport in a more positive direction but the older they get the less likely that will happen.
I think Jay would make a good ambassador if he ever wins the Olympia but it doesn't matter how likeable you are, how articulate you come across, remember, we are still part of a "sport" where drug use is imperative to reaching the top. Arnold only managed it cos gear was still legal in his day and he'd effectively retired (not including the '80 Olympia) by the time he became famous. But remember, Arnie got famous more for being an action hero than a bodybuilder so you could argue that not even he was an ambassador for bodybuilding when he was in his prime.

Tell me I’m wrong.
Many will argue otherwise, but no serious bodybuilder is pumping up for women; they are all doing it for the benefit of other men. Wearing a thong and posing to music no less! On some level they want to be looked at by other men, admired for their looks by other men, ogled by other men, felt up by other men ( I could go on but you get the idea) . . .
Many bodybuilding magazines are oddly schizophrenic. They try to portray themselves as a heterosexual interest but the content (and often the ads) are explicitly gay themed.
By definition body building is an extreme activity. Accordingly, it is not supposed to appeal to the mainstream. Therefore it does not need an ambassador. The men (competitors and fans) will find their way to the “sport.” They always have and always will--without an ambassador or excessive promotion.
Fitness certainly appeals to the mainstream but the relationship between fitness/health and professional body building is nonexistent. :-\

ronnie coleman is a perfect ambassador type for bodybuilding
big, obviously on growth drugs and in denial.
i nominate ronnie coleman!

Do you consider for a moment that you are looking at bodybuilding through your "gay" lenses? Not that many people don't share your views--but I am hear to tell you that the vast majority of men DO NOT.

Requirments for an Ambassador...
1.Hasn't had nude photographs taken of themself & hasn't done "Gay for pay" in the past.
2.Has technical knowledge of anabolic steroids and can articulate arguments against people in the media on the spot and defend Anabolic Steroids.
3.Has atleast some technical knowledge of science and can articulate arguments on hand and discuss bodybuilding from a technical physiological level.
4.Is blunt and can stand up for themself at a moments notice.(Won't cower down and take a verbal beating from news personalities.)
5.Doesn't get involved in any of the disputes you see between bodybuilders.
6.Does not have a criminal record.
7.Is a Professional.
A few people I nominate that could develope these attributes if they don't have them already...
Gunter Schlierkamp
Jay Cutler
Bob Chicerillo
Dexter Jackson
Chris Cormier
Do they fit the qualifications that can't be worked on?
Ronnie Coleman isn't very smart I think. On Jay Leno He couldn't hardly articulate a sentence so there is no way he could argue for bodybuilding or anabolic steroids from a technical standpoint.

That all sounds good, but such a person would not at all be representative of most pro (or amateur) bodybuilders. :'(
-

That's not the point though now is it?
Sending someone out who represented most Pro's as an ambassador would be a disaster to the sport. Sending out someone like King Kamali to go on talk shows and argue for bodybuilding would just make us all look stupid.
We need to send the BEST we've got. The best looking,The smartest,The clean cut guy without a criminal record who is soft spoken but will stand up for himself and the sport at a moments notice.

Two part question:
1. Does that include nude photographs I've taken of myself; and
2. Does "Gay for Pay" include selling my soiled underwear through the mail?

Once again, that all sounds good, but people (interviewers, cynics, the public) would clue in very quickly that what the ambassador is saying is effectively hollow if virtually no one in the industry led a similar life(style).
It’s like Vanessa Williams winning Ms. America or Halle Berry getting an Oscar and calling that racial progress. Neither of those women look like most African American women and they certainly would not have won those awards if they did. :(
The ambassador should be most of the things you mentioned, but he can’t be so rare and distant from most bodybuilders that he has no credibility.
-
I don't think the media is smart enough to figure that out.
-
Well that kind of narrows the choices.
To hear Ronnie talk you know the guy isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Contrast this to the articles in Flex he "supposedly" authors. I mean lets get real. Ronnie couldn't pronounce half the words in the article let alone know what they mean. Do the publishers of Flex think the readers of that mag are that gullible?

If they are still buying FLEX and reading the articles then, yes, they are that gullible. :'(

I hadn't bought it since like 1992. I won't be buying it again. It's 100% crap.

Levrone if he would do it. But he won't. :-\

Lee Haney is as good as one gets when it comes to representing BB. He's the ultimate professional in everyway. I cannot think of ONE pro of todays standards that's the least bit professional!

You wouldn't have heard Lee Haney accusing Lee Lebrada of smoking crack back in the day.
Yet today's representative of the sport for the last decade can barely finish a sentence... and when you can understand him, it's to insult another competitor.

Yep! When I met LaBrada he was also a true professional who took time to answer questions. He represented him and his products well and that "Super Charged" stuff that he sells is awesome!
-
Right now BBing's ambassador is GV. heh. Like it or not...
Milos might be good. He seems smart, but does he have a crazy accent? That'd blow it for the US of Arian.
I like Milos but it might be better if BB had someone who hasn't been indited for drugs and didn't almost kill themselves using synthol. Lets find someone who isn't under investigation!!

Ditto. Having a meltdowns online and telling posters to go phuck themselves is not what BB needs in an ambassador.

When did this happen?

When did this happen?
It happened in the last week or two and spawned few private messages among those of us who saw it; as you see above, 240 managed to capture it. It was abruptly deleted, but suffice to say the damage is done. If his past behavior is any indication, Bob C. would make a terrible ambassador.
-
there's more to bob than meets the eye!
He hates overweight people and mocks them.
-
he also uses words like "retards" and "queer" in everyday conversation. And he makes threats. And he mocks overweight people.
-
Like I said earlier, there's no one that can represent BB like Haney. Although Melvin might be a good choice. We spoke at length and he's a good guy and seems to really want to make a difference especially with kids!
-

Say it isn't so. :'(

yep. The best part will come in a few months when Bob denies everything. "I never said that".

Dina... if a married girl wants to either masturbate/grind on me, is that really cheating? For her, me, or both? She did it in the hot tub today and got off, and i jacked off too... and it was all good... we were just friends having fun, keeping it new... but... she's married... does that make it worse?*****

i was a different man back then, mike. I have some health probs that I won't elaborate on, but I will say that I have grown up a lot since then. " -240orbust/240isback

Yeah, ok...being under investigation is bad. I didn't know Milos had a temper.
But, yeah if Chick is the current "ambassador"... ::)
Shawn is better only because he doesn't meltdown at the drop of a hat...and 240 sure pushes on him! ;) But I dunno how intelligent Shawn is (what's his schooling background?).
Nasser would've been good because of his smarts, but he seems a bit less than social...
because of zealous immaturity shawns credentials will qualify him for a limited junior ambassadorship with ability to delete threads and posts
-
all kidding aside, the rep of the sport should never make negative statements in public about ANY athlete.
King and Shawn should be out of the running from minute one.
