Does anybody know the real reason why lee Priest didn't compete in the O?

Just like the subject says.

if i remember right its because he was saying how the athletes are treated like shit. as far as how the majority of the money goes to supplement companies...or company (cell tech). at first i was really dissapointed with Priest for withdrawing, but now I agree with him and im glad he did it.

LOL. Nice Skywalker.

Priest actually scanned his Olympia contract and posted it on another board. I assume it was real. Very ballsy. Did anyone else see it?

This pic was taken the day Lee Priest decided to drop out of the Olympia lol

Mods - I hope this is ok. I got it form another board. Please delete if not ok.

Lee was complaining about the general treatment of the athletes at the O. He posted his contract to show the lack of money and support provided to them. Very interesting. Also, very ballsy. I thought you guys would find it interesting.

I have heard that at the Arnold the athletes are treated better. Limo waiting at the airport etc. Milos complained about it quite a bit when he was competeting.

Thanks guys.
I was just reading one of the recent issues of M.D where they were interviewing him about how he IS going to compete in the 'O'

Good post JDF! Damn, the IFBB is cheap, only one free ticket for the competitors? There's only like 23 competitors, you'd think they could at least hook them up with some tickets yo?! :69:

And free "relaxtion therapy" from the fitness competitors.

not to mention if they want a different hotel, the BB himself has to pay for it. some of the competitors didnt get to do their routines. i mean, theres so much that has to be changed, its embarrasing.
