man this stuff makes my head spin.
down under, all we have to go on is what you guys say, its not in the news at all.
i would hope the athletes reps, the BB dudes who take the competitors money as fees and all the royalties from their pics and magazine features would just get together and provide some sort of united front. baseball guys and football seem to try and protect their own. the guy isnt an IFBB member now, but he was. and he was a very public figure and he did as much good as coming across as successful in a misunderstood low paying sport as anyone else.
ok he had some "stuff" going on in private but some BB relish being bad boys and living hard while working their asses off in the gym. the rest like gossiping about it. so what? i went and saw him when he came out to compete in australia and he brought some interest to the competition with the kamali thing and his presence on stage. we'll have to wait for the trial to see what comes out, about the murdered woman, and kelly's role in all this. let alone any others who may be involved. i am sure there is enough there for the BB world to focus on what he accomplished as a competitor, and show patience as the legal process plays out. ultimately craig titus will have to face his day in court and get his say.
two world class performers are centre stage with this matter. try and salvage what can be saved and dont give outsiders any more opportunity to turn BB into something to be ashamed of. i'm sure BB will survive members breaking the law and being punished for it, as doctors, lawyers and other athletes have in the past. the question is, how big a role will the representatives and those running the competitions and magazines have played in the damage to this sport? ratings hungry media will be knocking on your doors, especially when the trial begins.
the world is watching.
make us proud.
