This is one of the worst judging I have seen in a while, not only did the best bodybuilder on stage not win (Gregg Krause) but to add insult to injury when they called the winner in the over all they at first called his number then reneged and picked (Chris Fillipelli) Sorry Chris you might have won the contest but were not even close to being the best on stage at that time in condition and muscle volume. But you did have the largest gh gut i have seen at any level.

I'm out.

[p.s.]

I've got to agree Gregg does appear from the pics to be the better man, but I wasn't at the show.

I was at the show and even sat behind Greggs family and talked to them after it happened. It honestly was not even close. Gregg should have EASILY been the winner. I am not kidding, the crowd went completely silent. I didn't even know Gregg personally, but I felt extremely bad for him for getting robbed.

Hands down WORST judged show I have ever seen..........:yep:

I wasn't there and I am only judging from the pics, but Gregg was robbed.

Condoning the GH gut to move on to the Pros is sad. The winner has a reverse tapered waist and has poor biceps.

Greg's number was not called. He thought he heard his and jumped forward hands overhead in victory and then he heard my name. I understood his disappointment. But the reason the audience was so quiet was because Greg was angry and showing bad sportsmanship on stage. It made everyone feel uncomfortable. And he is from Cleveland.
And these posts always show up after shows from friends of the second place winner. I beat Greg at Nationals during the overall and again here.
I thought we were both a little off at NAC.
But thanks for posting PIX so everyone can see how good my condition was. And the back picture was taken before I pulled it forward.
I have worked very hard to win everything I have.
And being hateful just makes Greg look bad.
He is a good guy! But talking so nasty about me will change nothing. It will however make my friends and family want to post nasty stuff about Greg.
And I do not want anyone to disrespect him like some of you are here to me.
Keep it in perspective.....Bodybuilding not a cure for cancer.
Just relax and enjoy the shows.
Be well,
Chris

CHRIS FILIPPELLI AND MR. Gregg Krause are amazing competitors and gentlemen. They both competed to the best of their ability. Mr.Chris Filippelli won his class in Pittsburgh and now in Cleveland. Do not be so quick to forget that he also won last years competition as well. This sport is very tough on its athletes and even worse when you think that there are no politics involved. These two gentlemen competed and they both won their class, which in itself, it is a great accomplishment. Bad mouthing the other competitors brings down their sportsmanship and the value of their wins. Besides, for what I see, these critics have probably never competed or would ever compete since they are only critics. I personally met Mr. Krause and his family, he is a gentleman and a very gracious winner and I don't think he is a sore looser. Mr. Chris Filippelli has won his class over and over again and it is his time to shine. He has worked very hard to achieve this goal for over eight years professionally by training for over 30 years. It was not his fault that Mr. Krause precipitated to raise his hands as the winner as they clearly called out the right number and the right name. It was shocking and disappointing to have taken the wind out of Mr. Filippelli's win. He won his class and now he is an IFBB Pro which he deserves to be. No critics bad mouthing him or any judge will ever be able to take that away from him. People need to realize that this sport is very tough, and win or loose, it takes a lot of strength and effort to be standing up there and be judged by a panel of individuals that sometimes have their own agendas in mind. Congratulations to both Mr. Gregg Krause and Mr. Chris Filippelli on their amazing achievements. Mr. Chris Filippelli congratulations on finally winning your IFBB PRO card.

Mr. Mach Tech, it is obvious from the way you look that you are in good shape, I am sure that it is not a genetic gift, but an enhancement from your many years of over steroid drug use, and probably GH has been one of them. If you have any knowledge of GH side effects, it is a fact that it actually removes the internal fatty tissue from the stomach and from the buffalo humps on backs that some people get. I personally conducted a research study for Serono the company that makes Serostim and it was a fact. So do not speak of subjects which you have no knowledge of in order to make a dishonest and very cruel comment about a professional body builder. Please do yourself a favor and eat something because you look very skinny.
