Chic, I loved your response about you and the drug test.  It will make a great t-shirt for the IFBB guys to wear in the courtroom

Now that's funny  ;D

'word' of a suspension doesn't equate to suspension until formally addressed in written document.

until lee sees that paper, f**k your suspension.

be a shame if they didnt drum one up in the next 10 days...

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...

Big surprise there. No, really.... big surprise.  ::)

Yea thanks.  Also, on this.  Sposnors are NOT going to like this publicity that this case may generate.  This is going to be very negative and could possibly bankrupt the IFBB. They owe millions in back taxes.  And whatever else in fines could be put against them.  Legal fees alone are going to kill them.  I would think Lee could easily find an attorney to do this case either Pro Bono or on contigency.  This will defntiely make some headlines.  I wonder what will happen to Kevin Horton and Issac.  Well maybe they can start taking pictures of babies.

I will in no way will I support the NPC and IFBB by going to anymore shows, but doing what they did shows incredible hipocracy and personally I hope Lee opens a legal can of worms so big it takes down the entire federation and all those who support it.

Point of clarification: the IFBB and the NPC are entirely *separate* organizations. 

Please do not include the NPC in this particular conversation about the IFBB, as anything involving the NPC is not at all relevant to this discussion.

in all fairness....


everyone seems to be riding Chick's jock pretty hard.  I believe he was just relaying a message.  I have a feeling that Lee was going to get suspended anyways...

but I wonder how much of this was just brought all upon himself to begin with.


I do feel Bob has loyalties to the IFBB....but I don't see him personally behind Lee's suspension but some of you are acting like he is.


just my 2 cents

Chick should have used a little professionalism by notifying Lee before an internet message board. Then again maybe there is no such thing as professionalism amoung meatheads.

well.....

Lee announces things on here "out in the open" before notifying anyone.

I think Chick probably felt Lee didn't care.

Yeah, that tax question is still looming very large over the IFBB.  They might possibly get away with the suspension of Lee, but once the IRS starts their investigation, I predict there's no way they will escape that debt.  Canada will help with that enforcement, guaranteed.

That's why I'm thinking it's in the best interests of the NPC to just sever all ties with Montreal and form their own professional 'league'...sooner rather than later.

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?
You think Lee cares???

....and you will stay inside like tubby shit-bag you are.  Vince PLEASE get your pro card....PLEASE PLASE PLEASE.  This has been stated time and time again...even if they dont let him compete....they cant stop him from showing up there you jiggy fat magnet.  Everyone cant wait to see this monster showing.....and monster excuse-fest you put forth with regard to your show in two days.  Vince.....can you try and make it out to the Olympia so that you are among the 'professionals' like you belong?


Lee....my buddy Matt just moved to Texas and happens to train at your gym.  I told him to go up to and ask your opinion of ol' Vince....ha ha.  He told me that you are just a FREAK.  Hope you get this whole mess straightened out.


Yeah, I met your little buddy Matt.  I thought he was coming on to me or something but I was still polite to him anyway.  Not exactly a world class lifter himself or anything but here's some advice.  Next time, when you send a spy out, make sure he doesn't accidently call me Vince....... ;D

No...he is suspended PENDING the hearing...that means he is suspended until he can appeal  his case at the hearing on Oct. 17th.

That's as far as I can find language interrpreting this action...




*****
Forget it...just found it. An athlete cannot compete while under suspention.

That would be a huge mistake on the part of the organization.

By announcing his suspension, accepting his notice to appeal, and then allowing him to compete in Las Vegas pending the outcome of his fair hearing, the IFBB would be acting in good faith. 

Announcing his suspension and then deliberately delaying the fair hearing until after his next scheduled competition will leave the IFBB with a black eye. 

If the IFBB does the right thing here, everyone wins. 

It's up to them.

If Lee decides to take things to court he'll more than likely win.

Anyone remember the Jay Cutler fiasco in 2001? The IFBB hid their tails behind their legs when Cutler threatened to sue them.
