Well, this year, the members of the press, that is people who have press passes, can and will ask questions to the Olympia competitiors. The question I have is there any questions, and they need to be serious, not bashing, and somewhat more exciting, questions that you seriously (did I mention seriously) would like to know regarding some of the competiors.
So here you go, a chance to hear some questions you want to hear instead of the usual praise, love, and declaration of fanhood.
Now - non serious questions will be deleted. And start with whom you want to question to be for...
-
Ron, I heard we will be able to see the press confrence live on the net, is it true ?
-
to all, how is the new mandate holding up in the ifbb and is it enough or not?
-
Ask the competitors what they thought of the Mr Getbig contest.
-
and they need to be serious, not bashing, and somewhat more exciting
There's nothing exciting about guys posing in thongs.
Here's a question:
Do you think the IFBB should actually enforce testing procedures, so athletes don't have to risk their lives just to compete in something they love?
You won't ask it, but it's a good question.
-
ask them if they are happy with the job that Boc Chic is doing as their Rep
-
also ask how many of them dieted down only eating icecream and pizza with some cheesecake for dessert.
-
I would like for you to ask.....
"do you feel points should be deducted for a distended stomach....so much to the point where it would affect a top 5 placing"
& make sure Big Ron is asked that question.
;)
-
Q for Jim Manion: "Mr. Manion, why do you feel Lee Priest needed to be suspended for competing in the NOC, when every IFBB representative has said publicly that the PDI is 'inconsequential' and 'no threat' to the IFBB? Why does rule 1.7 even exist, and how can you justify it when the IFBB does not pay these guys as employees?"
-
ask them if they are happy with the job that Boc Chic is doing as their Rep
thats a good one.....
but they might respond....
"who's Bob Cicherillo?"
-
Ask them this one RON !!
SOOOOOOOO UMMMMMM WHERES LEE ?
-
Ask all of them if they're willing to compete as 100% natural..
I bet Gustavo will stand on the table, rip off his jacket, flex and shouted "100% natural - Hard work"
-
Anybody here from Titus? I hear he's in town
-
For Betty Pariso:
"How excited were you to see the athlete turnout (27 competitors) in women's bodybuilding for the recent Atlantic City Pro, and if I may follow up, were you at all disappointed with the lackluster promotion of an event which featured so many great athletes? And lastly, do you agree that sanctioning fees be lowered significantly in order to allow pro events to be adequately promoted? Thanks in advance for your responses."
-
Ask them which ones are coming to the PDI when they realize the IFBB is going down.
Any news on when the PDI will pay the athletes?
-
Athletes? What are we talking about here? Oh the bodybuilders. ;D
Wayne didn't pay them yet?
;D
No news on payments.
They were held back till the results of the drug test.
-
ask Ronnie to explain the bohr-rutherford model of the atom, and to derive the equation for its radius...
after all, I think he wrote about that one in his Flex column :)

I had the chance to discuss this with him recently. Very interesting although most of it was too technical for me. I'd say that Stephen Hawkin has a broader understanding of the subject but Ronnie has the better physique.

ah but Stephen would own him in the ab and thigh pose 8)
-
LOL!!! Talk about a catch-22.
I'm wating for Keith (Onlyme) to start demanding that interest be added to the checks when the athletes are eventually paid. Another day or two and he'll no doubt be rasing hell over the fact that it's taking so long for the results of a simple test to come back.
-
Heres another Question you could ask RON
Addressing the IFBB ,
SOOOOOOOO U guys drug testing this show in accordance to your rule book ????
-
Once again, it seems we have a failure to communicate...
It says, the IFBB CAN implement drug testing at it's discretion, it doesn't say they WILL test...
I'm done trying to educate you and Lee on the subject.
-
Any news on when the PDI will pay the athletes?
Here we go again.
hvae you emailed Wayne and asked him? Have you emailed any athletes and asked them?
Or is the spectacle of asking uninvolved people on message boards, just a tad more informative?
-
It says, the IFBB CAN implement drug testing at it's discretion, it doesn't say they WILL test...
Yep, they CAN, unless it's Jay Cutler they're testing. ::)
Lee will file suit, IFBB will quietly back down and work out a deal with Lee.

Obviously you are not as you wouldn't have posted this !!
Any how what happened to the testing for Diuretics and such like that was made mandatory at Pro level??
And didn't BEN WEIDER make a international press statement that emphasised his commitment to Drug Testing to that of the same commitment that is required by the IOC ??
And why is it so that at Armature Level in the IFBB , Drug testing IS meant to implemented by its national affiliations , but not at pro level ??
Not that I am for testing , I'm just curious about all these double standards ??

From what I understand, WADA could at any time bring their test team into any show and demand every Pro to supply a doping test. If any Pro refuses to do so, that would be an automatic 24 month ban. If testing positive, also a 24 month ban. If testing positive for a stimulant, such as ephederine, they could get away with less, like 3-6 months.
This is the result of the agreement that Benny Weider signed. You would have to ask WADA directly why they don't test IFBB bodybuilders. Perhaps they don't know they can.
Ron
A question I'd like to see is for Jim Manion:
Why are the male bodybuilders allowed to hike up their trunks up their asses while the fitness women are not?
And also, how will we see that the "no-gut" judging guidelines are being followed?
YIP
Zack
-
Maybe you guys forgot to read the topic....
The questions are for the ATHLETES at the PRESS CONFERENCE, this will not be a platform for questions of politics, rules, regulations, etc...also, Jim Manion will not be sitting on the stage with the athletes to answer questions of this nature.
The Olympia, and the Press conference is all about the competitors, and the show itself.
-
Here we go again.
hvae you emailed Wayne and asked him? Have you emailed any athletes and asked them?
Or is the spectacle of asking uninvolved people on message boards, just a tad more informative?
Here we go again, 240 makes his usual response to a question about the PDI.
Both yourself and Keith are involved in the PDI so a question directed to him is justified. You've both acted as information providers in the past so what's wrong now? Anything to hide? Aren't you concerned that the athletes have still not been paid?
-
WHY CHICK WHY ?? CANT THE PRESS ASK WHAT OF WHOM THEY WANT TO DO WITH WHAT THEY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT BODYBUILDING INCLUDING THE PROMOTERS AND THE FEDERATION REPRESENTITIVES?? WHY CHIC WHY ??
And wasnt this meant to be the format last year(open pressforum) but it was squashed under the watchfull of Mr CHang !!
-
The Olympia, and the Press conference is all about the competitors, and the show itself.
Okay.... Q for any competitor: "Do you think the Olympia would be better if Lee Priest were competing? Why is he not competing, and what do you think of this?"
-
Ask them this one RON !!
SOOOOOOOO UMMMMMM WHERES LEE ?
Oh i will be there :)

And a follow up with Jay Cutler.... "Why are you wasting your time here? You know damn well Ronnie could show up looking like Vince Goodrum and he'd still get the Sandow!"

No, this wwasn't the forum to be used last year, as I'M the one who came up with the forum. Robin put it in my hands, and didn't give me any guidelines. There is a reason that we don't have promoters/ judges/ officials sitting up there... this isn't the place (as Wayne was so fond of saying)... If any of the athletes wish to get answers to these type of querstions, we have that forum set up... it's called the ATHLETES MEETING.
Overshadowing the athletes will not be tolerated...

Then why are Dex and the sub 220 guys competing ;D

once again we have convenient interpretation of the rules by noneother than a yes man.
Chick, read section 8.1 (policy statement)
As the IFBB clearly has no intention of enforcing this policy, why is it even in the rulebook if it is false?
answer - the rulebook is a lame attempt to look like a legit federation, while the ifbb arbitrarily does as it pleases
-
Two questions for Ronnie:
1. Who writes the columns and articles that are signed with your name in FLEX?
2. What do you feel you have accomplished as an representative for the bodybuilding community?
Follow-up question for Jay Cutler, Günter, Dex and Gustavo:
"And a question for Jay, Günter, Dexter and Gustavo:
Guys, how would you work to represent bodybuilding if you were to win tomorrow?

Bob's sounding mighty official there, huh? I wonder when they're going to be giving him his very own blue blazer? The AMI/IFBB establishment seems to trust him completely... too bad the same can't be said of the athletes he "represents". ::)
-
WHY BOB YOU AND TRIPLE H DID A GREAT JOB OF IT LAST YEAR ....:)
I loved how Triple H pwned that fat joke Gene Rychlak: "No, I think he's broke a spleen"
Normally not a fan of Hunter Hearst Helmsley, but that was funny.

RON ASK A PDI QUESTION DARE YOU. YOU YOURSELF HAVE TOLD ME THE IFBB AND THEM HAVE EVEN HAD WORDS TO YOU ABOUT PDI ON THE BOARD....TRUE HUH RON.COME ON RON TELL EVERYONE HERE WHAT THEY SAID LIKE YOU TOLD ME.
If you don't you know me i will i am already suspended .Ron it's your site screw your press pass let them kick all the press out but admit they were and are pissed about pdi talk here and wanted it removed.
If they really tried to pressure Ron to censor PDI info or opinions on his board, that shows you just how pathetic the people running the IFBB really are!

What a crock of Shit !!
First last years set up was farcical as no one could ask any questions what so ever and the questions that you asked where totally staged under the watch full eye of Robin Chang!! So by your own admission last years joke of a press conference was your fault !!, and they have let you handle it again this year , boy good management !!
Secondly what possible questions could a athlete get answered at the athletes meetings , as you yourself do not have any answers or authority what so ever to deliver a answer as all questions have to be run past JM first , thats if he wants to listen !!, and how could a athlete get answers to questions when the individuals such questions should be directed at are not allowed in the Athletes meetings in the first place !!
It is all just a merry go round of bullshit relay isn't it !!
The press should have the freedom to ask those whom are involved in this event what ever question they wish , it then becomes the choice of the individual that is being asked if they wish to answer or not , but the reason this does not happen because if the press were allowed to ask the questions they wanted they would be kicked out most likely !!
-

Oh they did Ron told me on the phone the other day..He might not admit it due to the fact the IFBB and all monitor this site like the CIA over the middle east.

Jeez Chic you are like a little kid. Please tell us all you really aren't that stupid. Pleeeeeeeeeease tell us that. Cause just about everytime you try to defend your boss you sound so stupid. Either that or you think we are stupid. At their "discretion". That is simple symantics meaning why would they test since testing would ruin them. They had to put some kind of testing rule to even get in the front door with the IOC. I am pretty sure they probably told them they would testing and when the IOC found out they don't really test that is why they considered Weider and his proposal to be in the Olympics a bigger joke than they really are.
And what is Horton going to do for work. Kevin I hope you have neighbors with pets. At least you can pics of them. Your job is getting shorter and shorter.

In all seriousness, what question could anyone ask (without being contraversial) that hasn't been asked before? the press conference will be as boring as batshit.

As you put it "there seems to be a failure to communicate." The athletes meeting? Do you tell the one gy who shows up everything and then tell them to tell everyone else. Maybe when they are eating at the Firehouse.

Wait a fcuking minute.
Is there a censorship in place?
You can't be fcuking serious?
Getting the questions approved by someone before they're asked?
What kind of shit is that?
I don't believe it for a second.
If it's the truth, I hope that all journalists will boycott this event.
Edit: Not only hope, but expect them to boycott it. FLEX, MD, Ironman, Musclemag, bb.com, no media should take part in such bullshit.

Total censorship.
Why are you surprised?
The organisers dont want there to be any controversy (that's not staged)
Thats what the IFBB are famous for.

You're talking out of your ass, son...you haven't been around long enough to remember the old, boring-ass press conferences run with Wayne front and center...dodging questions left and right.
I purposely didn't ask the audience any questions, as traditionally...the questions are boring, and most of them were staged by friends/ family of the competitors, anyway.
I specifically went to the press for questions, and they had none. I had to drag a question out of Flex...even Ron will admit that none of the press offered anything in the way of questions...
I did change it around a little this year, to go to the audience at some point in the program with the assistance of my fellow host, Dan Solomon...
If you hate it so much...DON'T GO.
If you want to voice your opinion on other matters...show up at the meeting.
If you wish, I'll put it to vote as to allow officials/ judges, etc. to the next athletes meeting...I personally think it defeats the purpose, but let the majority rule.
-
Oh they did Ron told me on the phone the other day..He might not admit it due to the fact the IFBB and all monitor this site like the CIA over the middle east.
Well it's already known they threatened Ron to take his press pass if he didn't moderate the PDI stuff more. This is how the IFBB works. And in reality without guys like Lee they wouldn't have a leg to stand on and they would have NO power. That's what so funny about the IFBB pros. They are so stupid including Chic they don't realize they have the upper hand in everything. Yet they fail to do anything about it. They kiss ass and embarrass themselves. NO BALLS. Lee is so far the only major name that realizes it and so far it has been fine with him. I really think more guys from the IFBB will be coming over. I think Horton is getting a job with PETA.
I wish someone like Geraldo or some tough investigative reporter would show up. I really wish the IRS would show up. Now wouldn't that be great if they came in and put locks on the door.

Still, I'd like to know whether or not there is censorship in place, ie if the journalist have to give the question to someone before asking?

Because they're NOT ALLOWED to ask the questions they really wanna ask. ::) What questions do you expect from them? "Uhhhhh, yeah, Ronnie? Uhhhh, champ, do you think you'll win the Olympia again this year? Have you been training hard?" ;D
-
... the old, boring-ass press conferences run with Wayne front and center...dodging questions left and right.
As opposed to the new boring-ass press conferences with Jim Manion hiding in the back in order to dodge questions?
Well, I suppose we can't be too hard on him, after all, he's been nursing the flu for close to eleven months! ::)

The press doesn't have to submit whatever they want to ask...they are free to ask whoever they wish.

Lee - How does it feel to have HRDCOR's lips permenantly attached to your ass?
Melvin - You talked some serious smack on your Muscle Radio interview. Can the fans expect to see you posing as aqua man again this weekend or have you found a way to finally dry your legs out?
David Henry - Word on the street is you're arrogant and hate Getbig. What gives? Do you have a response for Stan McQuay calling you a bitch?
Dex - Do you really expect us to believe that you only dieted for 5 weeks?
Dex - Rumor has it you want the challenge round to come back this weekend, any truth to that?
Toney - Do you think you've earned the right to be compared to Ronnie this weekend and if so will you be able to hang with the champ?
Ronnie - Lonnie Tepper said he heard that you were behind on your training and took 4 months off. He also said that there is speculation that you're suffering from injuries and he wouldn't be suprised if you didn't win. What do you have to say about that?
Victor - Your trainer has said that you could place second and potentially knock off the champ. Do you think The Chad was right?
Melvin & Darrem - How happy are you guys that Phil Heath didn't the Olympia?
Quincy - Will you be able to redeem yourself and beat Toney Freeman this weekend?
Jay - Melvin said you're a mass monster but he can hang with you from the back and ab shots. Do you think he can hang with you?
Gustavo - Let's see how the midsection is doing this year.
Gunter - Do you think you're better the Toney Freeman?
Rodney - Will you be bringing Kai Greene on to guest pose during your routine?
Dex - Lonnie Tepper said Jay Cutler is too big and the only one who could be Ronnie. Do you agree with that?
Branch - You were eigth last year, how are you any better then that this year?
Melvin - You said you were going to upper cut someone at this show and knock 'em out. Who's that going to be and are you going to put your money where your mouth is this weekend?
Gunter - John Romano said you've seen your day in the sun, do you agree with him?
Jay - Are you worried about being compared to Dexter and Victor?
John Romano doesn't think that the mandate hasn't been followed this year. Do you guys agree with that - open to anyone.
Question for the emcee - Bob Chic where do you think you could have placed against these guys?
Mustafa - What was up with you not finishing last week and will you walk off stage if you don't get good callouts this weekend?
Jay - Why did you say you'd shave your head if you loose?
Dex - Melvin thinks your rear lat spread is sup par, what do you think about his comment?
Bill Willmore - Being the rookie up there, do you think you will get the callouts this weekend?
Dennis James - Do you wish you could hold the contest in Milos' gym with your tank top on?
Darrem - Do you think you and Melvin will get compared this year and if so can you beat the Marvelous one?
Vince Taylor - Do you think you're a better poser then Melvin Anthony?
-
Lee - How does it feel to have HRDCOR's lips permenantly attached to your ass?

Isaac....not to worry. We are ENCOURAGING the media to actively participate in the press conference. Which means that YOU can personally ask EVERY question thats on your list. -- If there is something that you want to ask....step to the mic and ask away. - This invitation is extended to all media in attendance!

DAN,CHICK:
Can we watch the press conference via webcast?
Thanks
one

Good question...You need to direct it to Flex Wheeler, as hardbodies entertainment has rights to the webcast.
Unfortunately, because of that exclusivity...BB.com could not bring you the Press conference via webcast.
They may very well be webcasting....anyone?

This wouldnt be brought about because so many thought last years press conferance was a joke would it :-\
-
Ron, I heard we will be able to see the press confrence live on the net, is it true ?
No, as far as I know, it will not be on the webcast. I am hoping that Hardbody Entertainment will videotape it and show the highlights, and I dont think we will see it on the webcast. But we will all report about it.
Ask them which ones are coming to the PDI when they realize the IFBB is going down.
Why? If there was a PDI press conference, should I ask those athletes about the IFBB? No. Questions are for the competitors, this is their day. I want questions directed to the competitors.
Ask the competitors what they thought of the Mr Getbig contest.
Why? Where they in it? Did they qualify through it? Again - this is their press conference. I want questions about them. Give me good questions already. And thanks for the few of you that already emailed some - will try to use them.
ask them if they are happy with the job that Boc Chic is doing as their Rep
Good question - for the Athletes meeting, not the press conference.
"do you feel points should be deducted for a distended stomach....so much to the point where it would affect a top 5 placing"
Ecellent question. Someone was reading my original post. Bravo!
why do you feel Lee Priest needed to be suspended for competing in the NOC, when every IFBB representative has said publicly that the PDI is 'inconsequential' and 'no threat' to the IFBB? SOOOOOOOO UMMMMMM WHERES LEE ?
Again - who cares. Not relevant to a competitor. If Lee is on that stage, lots of questions will be directed towards him - if he is not, then they wont be. Not to say I wont ask Lee questions when I see him, after all, I will hound him until I get all the pictures I want, Lee will tell you that.
Anybody here from Titus? I hear he's in town
Yes, we have. Some of us have even visited him. But no 'interview' story... sorry.
Why are the male bodybuilders allowed to hike up their trunks up their asses while the fitness women are not?
I think that fitness women should be allowed to do that too... why not. But unfortunately, the standards of the conservative moment doesnt appreciate it.
And wasnt this meant to be the format last year (open pressforum) but it was squashed under the watchfull of Mr Chang !!
Actually, we could of asked questions. But the members of the press are too chicken to be in the spotlight. I know last year I was. Didn't want to go up there and ask question in front of everybody. But this year I will. Robin was disappointed that only Flex Wheeler asked one question, and the rest of us press were quiet.
Why are you wasting your time here? You know damn well Ronnie could show up looking like Vince Goodrum and he'd still get the Sandow!"
Ronnier: Who writes the columns and articles that are signed with your name in FLEX?, What do you feel you have accomplished as an representative for the bodybuilding community?
First question is a mixture of Ronnie and a writer. Ronnie usually says what he wants to say, a writer writes it. Most columns of sports athletes are written this way. Second question is what I am looking for.
What will you do if you become champion. How will you represent bodybuilding
Excellent question!! More of these
Getting the questions approved by someone before they're asked?
I can ask any question I want. But I want them relevant to the athletes.
Well it's already known they threatened Ron to take his press pass if he didn't moderate the PDI stuff more. This is how the IFBB works. If they really tried to pressure Ron to censor PDI info or opinions on his board, that shows you just how pathetic the people running the IFBB really are
PDI can discuss as much as they want on the boards - does it look like it was moderated. What people were concerned with, on both sides, is the hateful bashing on various people. That needed to be stopped! Calling people various names, with lewd pictures, and downright lies is wrong, and yes, people didnt like it. Dont want it on Manion, dont want it on DeMilia, dont want it on McGough, don't want it on Blechman. But outright taking my press pass away. No - it never came to that. But do I need a press pass to report to events? No. I havent had a press pass from the NPC in three years, that doesnt stop anything. Promoters are kind so I didnt need to ask for one.
Dan and Bob - my questions have been submitted. Let's see something other then paint dry at this year!
Ecellent questions, Isaac. You can now actually go up and say some of them!
Question for any competitor: "What do you think of Vince Goodrum's triumphant return to the stage at the 2006 NPC Mountaineer, where he placed 2nd in a 2-man junior class?"
In the terms of the Olympia, who cares about Vince Goodrum. Again, questions for the competitors that are good ones.
-

Unless things have changed - no, it will not be webcast.

To Ronnie : You have been the champ for a long time what kkeps you motivated and focused after all these years !!
To Victor : You have been touted as the next possible Mr O , but the judges havnt seen it that way so far , what are you hopeing to present to them this year that will change there minds !!
To Gustavo, Last year you seemed to have got you structure and conditioning down pat, have you improved on this and do you think you will place higher this year ??
To Darrem, last year you had a bad run of call outs and or lack off , if you had a question to the judges in regards to this what would it be so you could be seen more !! ??
To Gunter , All know you have the size and the ablity to bet any one on there day , but tommorrow what will be different about gunter ??
To Branch , we all know you have the wheels to take on any ones but do you think you have the rest to take on the best and place higher this year ??
To Melvin ; as a athlete that places just out of the top 5 in the O , what do you have to do mentally and physicaly to rectivy this happening ??
To all the Guys ,Open Question, are you content with the 2 day format of competting and what do you have to do different to hold condition over this period !!? is water a major issue here for you guys ??
To all the Guys, would you rather see the Olympia a s a travling global show or are you happy with it staying in Vegas ??
Thats a start I will think of more when i get back from the gym (yesss i go to the gym !!!!)
-
And what is Horton going to do for work. Kevin I hope you have neighbors with pets. At least you can pics of them. Your job is getting shorter and shorter.
No need to be concerned about me Keith. In fact, if I am able to reduce my workload over the next couple of years it could benefit you. I may move to your area and you can valet my cars and mow the lawn. I'll pay you more than you currently get for handing out flyers for the local gym. You are still in marketing aren't you?
Any chance of getting a T-Shirt? I'll arrange my own delivery though.
-
HRDCOR, much appreciated and thanks for your contribution.
Please, others seriously ask...
-
HRDCOR, much appreciated and thanks for your contribution.
Please, others seriously ask...
Hopefully you're able to transform most of these questions into open ended questions, avoiding the yes/no answers.
Anyways, here are some more:
Question for Darrem Charles:
Given your previous experience with the judging, why do you compete in Mr Olympia?
Question for Dennis Wolfe:
What do you think about Kamali beating you at the Montreal Pro?
Question for Dennis James and Ronnie Coleman:
Guys, how does the "no-gut" judging policy affect your preparation?
Question for Johnnie O Jackson:
There's been talk regarding your lifts, why don't you set us straight: Tell us a little about your best lifts recorded in the gym.
Follow up question to Ronnie Coleman:
JOJ issued a strength challenge to you awhile back. What do you say about that?
(then hopefully Cicherillo can follow that up with good questions and get somehing... GOING ON!!!)

Ask them all -
WHO WILL BE THE 2007 Mr OLYMPIA?

Hey thats a deal Kev. If you ever win the lottery and able to afford to come here for more thana weekend come on over. I promise I'll pay. And I am pretty sure you wouldn't want to be seen in just a t-shirt. And please don't say "gym" it sounds funny from a guy who has never been in one except to take pics.
What happened to your big mouth after the NOC. Kind of shut you up didn't it. Are you embarrassed by your stupid remarks. you should be. And you shoudl feel stupid for still supporting the IFBB. But, we know why don't we Kev. ;)

Hey spiderman, where was your question for the Olympians? No legitimate question comes to mind since it's filled with so much hate and anger towards everyone related to the IFBB?
Get back to your flap jacks jerky unless you have something other then the same trite crap to post.

No need to win the lottery, you didn't and you live there although I'd probably want something a little more upmarket than you. I've spent the last few years working my way up the food chain whereas you've spent the same amount of time eating it. Despite what we may claim I don't think either of us look like we've ever worked out, but you have me beat by about 200 pounds. It must be frustrating to live so close to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world but reluctant to walk on them snce GreenPeace opened an office there?
I already admitted I was wrong about the NOC. As for the PDI, my opinion hasn't changed. Giving away 100's of tickets to make the show look like a sell-out may have been good for Wayne's ego but it will have done little to bolster his bank account. Should be interesting to see how long it takes for the athletes to be paid. My guess is Lee wll get paid fairly soon so he can announce it here, the others will wait for a long time.
Time will tell if the British NOC will happen. As we know, the other shows were cancelled.
-
Ask them the meaning of some of the words from articles they have "written" in Flex.
-
NOW WHEN WILL BOB GET IT?
RIGHT DOWNB TO THE POSING TRUNK RULE ON COLORS IS IT ENFORCED? NO SO WHY HAVE IT
THE RULES ARE A FUCKIN JOKE BOB........
COURT WILL BE FUN
Lee.....
Rules will only be enforced to the athlete's that break rules which directly poses a financial strain/loss to the IFBB.
Then again....
Since the IFBB & Chick has said countless times "the PDI will make the athlete's no money & is not a direct threat to the IFBB"....you were slapped with a suspension because they don't like you. Remember how many times they said "what Pro Division?....it does not & will never exist".
Honestly bro...sounds like there must of been a time where you didn't touch someone's pee pee when they asked you.
Just go with the flow like C***k & blow help some people.
-
The press doesn't have to submit whatever they want to ask...they are free to ask whoever they wish.
I think it's misleading to call these individuals them the "press" or the "media". They own bodybuilding publications, they are not unbiased news corporations.

I find someone who apparently goes to shows would make a idiotic staement about giving aways 100's of tickets. Please tell me this was a mistake on your part and you really aren't this dumb. Kev, you are a photgrapher, thats it. FOr anyone who knows you or knows what you do realizes that is all you are, a photographer. Please don't come on here and pretend you are anything more than that. Same with Issac. You guys talk about shit you have no idea about. You may have been to more shows that me, but you still haven't done what I have done. You talk about it, while I actually did it. Big difference. You talk, I do. And why after 40+ years the IFBB still can't get shwos right and are cancelling them all the time. Explain to us how come they don't have there shit together after all these years. And you two support them. It says allot about your integerity. Keep living your life over whereveer you live Kev. I wouldn't change for the world. I live quite comfortably and don't have anyone to answer to like you. Nice life.................NOT!
-
;D
No news on payments.
They were held back till the results of the drug test.
Kev,
by the way, I'm still waiting for some replies from you.
Too busy in Texas, I guess.
-
No, this wwasn't the forum to be used last year, as I'M the one who came up with the forum. Robin put it in my hands, and didn't give me any guidelines. There is a reason that we don't have promoters/ judges/ officials sitting up there... this isn't the place (as Wayne was so fond of saying)... If any of the athletes wish to get answers to these type of querstions, we have that forum set up... it's called the ATHLETES MEETING.
Overshadowing the athletes will not be tolerated...
Hey, Bobby boy,
what your problem with Demilia??
You mention him in every other post of yours.
Did he nail your girlfriend?
...And by the way, you have never answered to my questions:
are you on the AMI payroll?
Do you think that can be a conflict of interest with your current position as athletes' rep?
How many freebees did Rob Wilkins gave to the military in 2005 Olympia?
Thankyou for your prompt reply.

What a silly question. Bob being on the AMI payroll would be a terrible conflict of interest.
I am sure he is not. Bob, can you clear this up? It's a pretty horrible accusation and I'd like to see it cleared up.
-
Does that mean in court i can show the tape of Mr Olympia and 6 other top olympians admitting what they take? just asking becasue there are rules :)
Lee your ex-wife, Adela and others close to you will testify that you utilzie many substances that are banned...Those "dirty" needles cause bad infections don't they.....LMAO.

Kev,
you start dangerously to look like Bobby boy. And both of you looks like those who are ready to sacrifice themselves for thier bosses sake.
Regarding the show in London (by the way, any IFBB show in UK this year?) you know it will take place, Kerry is one of the sponsor, and the other will take place in Slovakia. Come on buddy, not that bad for a just born structure!

You're bitter because you lost your ass on your show, we get it. Move on Keith. I've helped in promoting NPC and IFBB shows, I know what is entailed with trying to promote a show. Take your hate and your jaded complaints to a board that cares. Maybe you and George Picsman can get together and swap IFBB hate stories. Give it a rest already Keith.
Post a question for the press conference or keep those chubby little fingers off the keyboard.
:)

There are a lot of people that have a problem with DeMilia...If you don't think Paul Dilletts comments echo the sentiments of the overwhelming majority of Pro's...you would be gravely mistaken.
I've had my share of debates with Wayne, most notebly, that he didn't believe that athletes should get paid at the Olympia level...said so himself. I also took a huge burn to him calling and threatening athletes with their contracts, when I was trying to form a union for the guys...doesn't sound to me like a guy who claims to have the athletes best interest.
Yes, I have a publications contract with AMI.
Do I see it as a conflict of interest? No...why would I (or anyone else)...last time I checked, AMI and the IFBB were two different entities.
I couldn't tell you how many freebies were given to the military in 05...I can guarantee it didn't make up the majority of butts in the seats, as in the case of the NOC.
Any other questions?
BTW- The military givaways are in gratitude of the service they provide for the USA...big difference. You have a problem with it?

Wax that ass Bob! Wayne D and Ken Lay are too like minded individuals. Wayne has screwed plenty of ahtletes overtime. His anticts at press confrences were let's say so far from professional it was amazing he was actually in charge. The IFBB isn't perfect, nor is any other organization. But, if we all work together (judges, athletes, and fans) we can make positive changes over time. I stand united with the IFBB!
-
Ask any and everyone how they feel about the federal government coming down on steroids in professional sports?(bodybuilding is considered a sport) This issue is not going away anytime soon. Everyone seems to be ducking it up to this point.

Bob "Sweet Lips" Cicherillo

why is that nobody ever got the guts to ask real questions, such as Drugs over usage and athletes health. it's always the same bullshit year after year
-

Because if it was a natural contest....nobody would give a shit.
w/o drugs...the Olympia would be a swimming meet.
-
Once again, it seems we have a failure to communicate...
It says, the IFBB CAN implement drug testing at it's discretion, it doesn't say they WILL test...
I'm done trying to educate you and Lee on the subject.
Its kind of bullshit that they can pick and choose when to enforce a
rule, how convenient for them ::)

No conflict of interest? Does AMI own the Olympia? Does AMI own M&F and Flex? The IFBB controls what happens in the magazine or how do you explain AMI not accepting ads from the PDI.
And the tickets given away to the military for free did not make up any of the seats cause no one wanted to go. The IFBB is even an embarassement to the military. And don't try to make it sound like the IFBB cares. I have a problem with that.
I have been to 4 or 5 Olympias and since 2004 they have sucked. I didn't go last year. And there are well over 500 to 1000 tickets given away at the Olympia and thats a fact. And even with that they can't pack a place.
-
I don't know if that happens or not..what I do know, is that DeMilia was threatening athletes within his OWN organization, for staying within his own organization.
Will you be trying and form a union in the PDI, Lee? I'm sure Wayne would have no problem with it...
I would think in the first year of it's exsistance, this would be the ideal time to set the tone and insure security for the athletes.
Lee?
-
hahaha Chic, It's obvious the Atlantic City Pro Show didn't give away any tickets. Pretty stupid uh, they had 200 people at the night show. Good work. Bet that show won't be here next year. They are dropping like flies.

Actually fromall indications Wayne is going to look after the athletes and do what he says he will do. Unlike the IFBB who has been ripping off every members for decades. The IFBB needs a union.

BOB BOB BOB YOU KNOW IT HAPPENS PLEASE DON'T ACT DUMB NOW......
-
How about answering my question...
-
Chic do you realize you are the only one fighting over this. No one supports what you are supporting. No one supports what you say. Other than Kevin and Issac no one supports you. You gotta feel alone on this. Why do you put yourself through all this crap when you know you are wrong. Are you getting paid that much and does it justify you lowering yourslef like this,
-
I've spent the last few years working my way up the food chain whereas you've spent the same amount of time eating it.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
It's taken him 2 years, but Horton finally said something that made me laugh. ;D
Way to go, Kev! ::)
-
Why do you put yourself through all this crap when you know you are wrong. Are you getting paid that much and does it justify you lowering yourslef like this,
You gotta admit, Bob's probably the most successful third-tier pro in IFBB history.
He does what he has to do.
(Of course, that doesn't mean we won't be giving him shit about it. ;D)

I think you have it backwards judging by the mass exodus of athletes to the promised land of the PDI...
Why arent you demanding payment for these athletes, Keith? A week and a half, and still nothing?
Talk about biased...

What IFBB shows are scheduled for Europe this year?
-
What IFBB shows are scheduled for Europe this year?
In the IFBB, biased European judging is frowned upon by biased American judges.
-
What IFBB shows are scheduled for Europe this year?
IFBB Grand Prix
Oct. 6th Austria
Oct 7th Romania
Oct. 8th Holland
-
How about answering my question...
how about answering Lee's question?
let me repeat it in case of a convenient lapse in memory
"has anyone in the IFBB (other than your pal Wayne) ever threatened anyone with losing their contract?"
-
Kev,
by the way, I'm still waiting for some replies from you.
Too busy in Texas, I guess.
What were the questions?
I'm in Vegas now. Fancy lunch?

No need to win the lottery, you didn't and you live there although I'd probably want something a little more upmarket than you. I've spent the last few years working my way up the food chain whereas you've spent the same amount of time eating it. Despite what we may claim I don't think either of us look like we've ever worked out, but you have me beat by about 200 pounds. It must be frustrating to live so close to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world but reluctant to walk on them snce GreenPeace opened an office there?
I already admitted I was wrong about the NOC. As for the PDI, my opinion hasn't changed. Giving away 100's of tickets to make the show look like a sell-out may have been good for Wayne's ego but it will have done little to bolster his bank account. Should be interesting to see how long it takes for the athletes to be paid. My guess is Lee wll get paid fairly soon so he can announce it here, the others will wait for a long time.
Time will tell if the British NOC will happen. As we know, the other shows were cancelled.
Hey Kev,
does Jonnie Jackson know what an "abberation" is? it would appear as though he would be familiar with it, since the article he uses that word, found in
the highest integrity bodybuilding publication "FLEX", was written by him.
-
How about answering my question...
Lee Priest is so full of sh*t, his head is so far up Wayne's ass, when Wayne turn tit will snap Lee's little neck...Go back to Ausi...
-
how about answering Lee's question?
let me repeat it in case of a convenient lapse in memory
"has anyone in the IFBB (other than your pal Wayne) ever threatened anyone with losing their contract?"
Not to my knowledge...
Still waiting on Lee to respond.

I just got back from shooting with Johnnie. I can state 100% that Johnnie would probably not know what "abberation" meant - neither would anyone else - though while changing a lens on my camera we did start to discuss chromatic aberration and how it's more noticeable in digital photography than in film.

Lee come up for air and answer Bob's question...Wayne will be okay for a moment? Maybe then he can go apply for that loan to pay you. 8)

Keefer still waiting on your question for the press conference or are you too busy using the FedEx tracking site to come up with one?
BTW - looks like your shirts didn't leave New York. Maybe the homeless did get them or you're making it up...
Here is the tracking number for the doubters thinking I am making it up.

The buffet is half price Tuesday's so Keith is otherwise engaged.

why would jonnie use a word he didn't know the meaning of, in the article that he so wonderfully penned ?

Why would you care?

He didn't. I told you we discussed chromatic aberration, you asked about a word that doesn't exist.

Based on your discussion, are you suggesting that Johnnie chose to use the word "aberration" in the article
that he wrote?

I'm sure he's capable of using the word.

I'm sure he's capable of using the word.
So you are saying that johnnie jackson wrote his own article (as indicated in the magazine) ?

I'm pretty sure that whoever wrote it, you'd have to ask someone to explain it all to you so what do you care?

IFBB Grand Prix
Oct. 6th Austria
Oct 7th Romania
Oct. 8th Holland
Sweet! Any being webcast?

You know what would be an amusing press conference?
Dig up some of those articles where the ghostwriter makes a simple BBer sound like a rocket scientist. As the BBer an identical question. He'll mutter through something about lots of benching and buffets. Or, ask him to further elaborate upon the article he penned this month in which he weighed the merits of *insert julian schmidt analogy of Mannien science topic*. The ability of the athlete to immediately invent a cover story will allow us to know if he is dumb, or indeed, super-dumb.

There's nothing exciting about guys posing in thongs.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Maybe you guys forgot to read the topic....
The questions are for the ATHLETES at the PRESS CONFERENCE, this will not be a platform for questions of politics, rules, regulations, etc...also, Jim Manion will not be sitting on the stage with the athletes to answer questions of this nature.
The Olympia, and the Press conference is all about the competitors, and the show itself.
Why not? Is he planning on being sick that weekend?
-
I'm pretty sure that whoever wrote it, you'd have to ask someone to explain it all to you so what do you care?
I'm shocked Kev!
are you implying that flex magazine (a source of income for you) would actually lie?
I don't believe it, not with Pete Mcgough at the helm!
-
Does that mean in court i can show the tape of Mr Olympia and 6 other top olympians admitting what they take? just asking becasue there are rules :)
Where is that tape? I'm sure we'd LOVE to see that one...

Attaboy...insult the very people that you try and illicit business from.
It's amazing that you can only fake the funk for a few weeks at a time before reverting to your asshole self we've all come to hate...

There are a lot of people that have a problem with DeMilia...If you don't think Paul Dilletts comments echo the sentiments of the overwhelming majority of Pro's...you would be gravely mistaken.
I've had my share of debates with Wayne, most notebly, that he didn't believe that athletes should get paid at the Olympia level...said so himself. I also took a huge burn to him calling and threatening athletes with their contracts, when I was trying to form a union for the guys...doesn't sound to me like a guy who claims to have the athletes best interest.
Yes, I have a publications contract with AMI.
Do I see it as a conflict of interest? No...why would I (or anyone else)...last time I checked, AMI and the IFBB were two different entities.
I couldn't tell you how many freebies were given to the military in 05...I can guarantee it didn't make up the majority of butts in the seats, as in the case of the NOC.
Any other questions?
BTW- The military givaways are in gratitude of the service they provide for the USA...big difference. You have a problem with it?
Do you mean the same Paul Dillett that Demilia saved a couple of times from sudden death (Paul should remember what happened backstage in NYC in 1998 Olympia)? And why Paul Dillett should be considered the common opinion of the IFBB athletes community?
Regarding your contract with AMI, I have been told that AMI is running the IFBB Mr Olympia and owns the former Weider publications M&F and Flex (Flex is the official IFBB magazine). As IFBB athletes' rep you have a contract with the company that runs the most important contest in the sport and the two of the most important magazines in bodybuilding. Is that perfectly correct for you?
I'm glad you show that great respect for our troops but please show some more respect for yourself and find a better excuse.
Enjoy yourself 'till you can...

Well everyone on here knows how Chic convienently forgets to put in the actual facts about anything he says. He only puts in what makes the IFBB look good or the PDI and Waynelook bad. That is his job.
I have a question. Ask them if they are using the same bank that LiftStudios recommended for the Colorado Pro. Hope not.

if 240 is "faking the funk" then what is Flex magazine doing with its articles by its "champion bodybuilders?"
(not to mention its general silence about the role steroids play in building the physiques in its mag.)
