Interesting article that I ran across...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2022/manion-bodybuilding-competition-npc-subversion/

Anyone get a chance to read this, like we already didn't know, but still another time we see greed and power take over. Steve O'Brien who is in the article, owned the shows we put on every year, then was forced (basically) to sell the shows due to his age, Manion is a piece of work, anyway what will happen to the IFBB and NPC moving forward, AM you probably have a good idea about all this corruption in our sport, enough to finally say "adios" from competition for us, not worth our health...but still train like I do, much love and respect my brothers

BB athletes train their asses off to compete against other BBs, but unfortunately this is the only sport where your success is 100% based on somebody’s opinion versus your physical ability to defeat your competitor. As we all know, at the end of the day it’s a “show” it’s for entertainment, the powers that be will decide who represents them. The manions are as crooked as they come, they don’t care who’s the best, they only care who can make them the most amount of money in the shortest time possible.
