Good luck with that Lee. I don't know anyone who would be willing to give up their winnings for anything. Very nice move and I hope you can compete.

Interesting announcement, a bit general though. Are you talking about paying for accomodation/travel/etc for competitors who are burning through the money for a poor placing?

Obviously some people are going to make the joke that you're setting up a foundation to pay for guys gear so lets get that out now. "HAHA"

Yes that is true or family memebers to attend who can't afford it.No momney will be used for gear a contract will be signed for that and if used the money will be payed back to the foundation cash might not even be exchanged the needs will be met of what they need without us having to hand that person cash..Also the money will also be used for schools or kids who are interested in sports but just can't afford uniforms or training gear for thier choosen sport.More detials will be given later.

This is great and all but there is much more involved in setting up a "foundation" then just posting it on a message board.

Will the "foundation" help bodybuilder's pay their back taxes or what will you be "giving back"?

Sounds like a desperate PR stunt before going on PBW.

Isaac i have heard your comments about me.Becareful very careful.

Personally I think the Lee Priest Foundation to raise money for terminally ill children would be a better way to go. Hard for the IFBB to take money away from a dying child, but not so hard to take money away from their own.

Special "Hire a Webguy to do your Website and a PRguy to do your PR" Ed

yes Ed like i said it will not only be for BB but for others as well.But it will start with the BB and go fromn there.This is just a general statement for now.More will be given later.

So basically Lee will be starting this foundation off with $4K..

I am a fan of Lee's and he can come in the best shape of his life but do you think the IFBB will actually place him in the "True" money spots after competing in the NOC?

Let's be real folks

Attention IFBB and fellow Bodybuilding fans....I want
to make an announcement that may be of interest to
all.

As you all know, I have stated I WILL be competing in
this year's Mr. Olympia contest, no ifs ans, or buts.
So, that being said, I would like for everyone to know
that any prize money I receive will go to establishing
the LEE PRIEST FOUNDATION. That's right, 100% of the
prize money I win will be used to start this
FOUNDATION. In addition, any guest appearence earnings
will also be contributed to the FOUNDATION.

This FOUNDATION will be developed to assist and
support those within the sport of BB'ing and its fans
to name a few. It is my belief that BB'ing has taken a
wrong turn for both the fans and the athletes. It is
my hope to take BB'ing to a new level for the
betterment of everyone involved. This is a sport of
comradery or at least should be. I have been a IFBB
PRO now for 12 years and I have seen the degradation
of the sport before my eyes, I am sad to say.

In closing, my intention is simple. I would like to
give something back to the sport of BB'ing and the
fans that have made it possible for me to compete. It
is time to give something back and to make things
better for all.

Lee Priest

my hat goes off!

Will that be after or before you sue Weider?

But its good to know that even lower then top10 will be paid this Olympia :D

UNLESS you ARE SLLOOWW, Weider is only a name and does not own the Olympia, AMI (for now) does.

IFBB Housewife or IFBB idiot who lives in the 1980's...?

Oh, in that case, you could probably apply for some sort of tax exempt status.

ribonucleic · « **Reply #49 on:** July 31, 2006, 06:59:41 AM »

According to the logic of the PDI supporters here (I'm looking at you, 240!), if Lee really wants to support the struggling bodybuilders, he should donate his Olympia prize money to the PDI itself.

But I guess that would make it more rather than less likely that the IFBB will enforce the terms of its contract with Lee and bar him from competing after he does the NOC... $:-\$

Politics makes my head hurt. I'm going to have a protein shake and take a nap.
