Jack, wake up dude, Bob has a much bigger hand in all this than you might think...

I can apreciate that you beileve that, but trust me when I tell you I know a little about these things.

Bob, can't burp without asking manion for permission. Thats why I don't respect.

Nobody controls me, I do what I want, make my own money, and can say my mind freely, without fear of recourse from anyone.

I just hope Lee takes the IFBB to court.  Guaranteed this will put the IFBB in a very bad position.  Their monopoly in the industry can easily be proved as well as many other federal violations.  God I hope Wayne gets supeoned to court.  The IFBB won't be worth much then.  It took 40+ years but finally the IFBB will be put straight.  What will the courtroom look like with IFBB pros on the witness stand under oath saying they don't take steroids.  Canseco and the other ball players could get away with it but can you imagine Ronnie trying to fit in the chair and telling the judge he doesn't use steroids cause the IFBB has strict rules against it.  Oh my!   And the investigation over their unpaid taxes for decades is going to be awesome.  You might see your dues going up Chic to about $10,000 a year.  They are going to need it to pay attorney fees and fines. Get em Lee and don't back down.

This will be a great way to pick up sponsors cause you are going to be on every major program talking about this.  THIS IS GREAT!

Good News. it's about time the IFBB put that little putz in his place. Lee got what he deseverd and I hope he never competes in the IFBB again.

Jack, I know a little about these things too.  Enough to know that Bob is playing a much bigger role in this than he is letting on.  I grant you that there will be a court battle of perhaps epic proportions, all i was saying is that bob is covering his ass.

Yeah, you are probably right.

Actually, I have been spending a lot of time researching this topic, and interviewing a couple of attorneys.  I'm thinking this could get very interesting......

After awhile the PDI is going to have contests all over the country.
How about you make it to the second show before spewing more of your banter Keith. ;)

What's your take on it so far, based on your research?  Lee comes out on top?

Apparently the people that run the IFBB feel the same way.

Lee priest acts like the rules don't apply to him.

It's posted because it's been the number one topic on this board for many months now. News is news...an official statement has been made...I condensed it for obvious purposes. If you don't like it,don't read it or participate in the thread...

BTW...whats the "scare tactic"? Everyone knows what the rules are..you think Lee is surprised?
As the athletes rep, what are you doing to help Priest and Jabes fight this injustice? Don't you feel that bodybuilders should be free to compete as they please, Bob? Are you willing to supprort them as their rep in their appeal?

And that's great for you outside of bodybuilding, but we all know you could never make a decent living off of bodybuilding at all.  Lee, Frey, and Sami are the only ones who really had anything at stake by entering the NOC.  Chick is one of the smartest pros in the business as far as making good career decisions that allow him to live off of going to the gym for an hour or two a day, I can respect that ;)

You're absolutely right, Jack....

But there is no law on earth that mandates you have to make your living in the IFBB, when there are plenty of other Pro organizations to compete in...NABBA, WABBA, PDI, etc.

Lee Priest and Valentin Jabes have both been suspended, effective immediately, for violation of rule 1.7 of the IFBB rules (competing in a non-sanctioned competition).

There is a hearing set for October 17, 2006 where they can appeal the suspention in person...

Nice of the IFBB OR Jim to call me and let me know first.Typical thou .......

At this time, I've not been contacted by Lee or Valentin for any help....

If they do contact me, I'd be more than happy to assist them in any way possible, or with any advices...

Why don`t they suspend YOU for violating the IFBB drug Policy? That is a rule too.

Adonis, don't even bother. The IFBB is a sad joke. No one outside of bodybuilding even know it exists.

you know good and well what it is.  The IFBB could have just put it on thier site and that would be that but there are gonna be threads about this-started by you or someone else from the IFBB-all over the net now so everytime a pro goes on a BB board it'll be there right in front of thier faces, constant reminder.  Constantly in thier face.  If the PDI is such a shit org. why is the IFBB scared of it?  Why selectively follow the rules just to nail people for it?

Or they couldh have told me first but what's new?

I know it.  I don`t think its will be around too much longer.  Once Joe dies, Arnold will stop backing his competition and then it will crumble from there.  At least that is what I have been told...
