Oops - didn't notice a new DY thread...2 of my favorite shots (already posted multiple times)
I've told this Dorian story before... I'll tell it again.1993. Dorian and Leroy had just arrived at Golds Venice. Ed Connors calls me over and says, "Tom, do me a favor make sure Dorian and Leroy get anything they need... Pro shop, guest passes, hotel close by, transportation, just make sure they don't need anything..." "Yes sir, I'll take care of it boss" I said. I told Dorian and Leroy to go to the pro shop, take your time, and get anything you want. Make sure to get some extra stuff for your friends back home. When you're finished shopping just call me and I'll come over and take care of everything. I'm doing my thing at the front desk and about ten minutes later Dorian gets my attention and waves me over. He says they are all through shopping. Dorian and Leroy each had two t-shirts, one sweatshirt, one baseball hat and some Golds Gym stickers. They were absolutely sincere. I said, "Dorian, you are Mr. Olympia. Leroy you are Dorian's training partner... gentlemen please select more things. We have lots of great stuff... Help yourself to ANYTHING you want. ANYTHING." Dorian was so humble and so soft spoken and so appreciative for anything it never occurred to him to take dozens of shirts, and pants and hats and EVERYTHING. I had to iterally put things in bags for them to take home. I offered to mail everything. They declined the offer. Humility and class.
NOT-EVEN-CLOSE... Heath is the best overall conditioned today, with nice cuts and striations, still he's far from Yates and 90s superior bodybuilders... Truly a monster...
