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 .

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.
