"I made sure that the powers that be in the IFBB and NPC were not opposed to the show in advanced. I spoke to Peter McGough on it, told him that the guest was going to be Phil Heath, had a great conversation, told him it was not a Musclemag Productions, and that Sprayflex owns it.
"I did get an email from Peter McGough saying that due to contractual obligations, Phil can’t appear on the show, but that was via email this morning. "
Am I reading that right? According to his side of the story, Peter McGough allowed Larry Pepe to wrongly believe Phil would do the show. Then McGough sent a last minute email cancelling Phil Heath, leaving Larry with nothing but excuses in his hand on the DEBUT night of his show.
If true, that is cold. Peter, can you comment on this?
Peter McGough reads the boards. I'd like to hear his side of this.
