    Poor Iris! She deserves royal treatment being a royal 10 x Olympia Champion! The irony that Levrone is allowed back after 13 years and Iris is not, is tremendously disappointing! Well, good luck to you, Iris! You are an amazing champion!

    A real sad day when politics prevent Iris from coming out of retirement.
    I've said it before and I'll say it again, show promoters don't seem to care one bit about the fans.
    With this news I'm beginning to wonder whether they care at all about the competitors, particularly the FBBs.

    Coolinolympia hit the nail on the head.

    One IFBB Pro stated his disappointment that Levrone was offered a special invitation while other faithful pros were faced with qualifying. I see that disappointment as justified. I mean, Levrone is a legend whose participation will clearly sell tickets, but it's also an obvious slap in the face to those men who have placed in pro shows in the past decade compared to Levrone who has done nothing but talk about competing.

    This story as presented by Iris is nothing short of disgusting.

    Great interview but what they did to Iris was just wrong! I honestly believe the promoters didn't want her to compete bc she was going to win

    That's correct according to Iris and apparently Jim Manion told the promoter as much. I'm not sure what rights the promoters have. The federation gives permission to hold the contest after a sanction fee is paid, right? So WOS paid the sanction fee and so has leverage of some kind? They can ask for their money back if they're told how to run their show?

    I don't get it.

    I'm sorry for Iris. I hope WOS gives her a call and asks her to compete and I hope she takes Dave's advice and takes part in the competition.

    Just got done watching this. This makes me so sad. WOS is one of the few beacons of future light for FBB and even that little speck of support for these ladies has to go south. The decades long investments of time & commitment to this sport, along with all the negativity that it receives and this shit happens. As if we don't have enough disgusting shit going on in this year's election. It just breaks my heart to see Iris treated like that. It just does.

    Isn't the Arnold Classic and invitational? What's the difference here?
    Iris stated that she didn't keep her pro card up-to-date so why would she be invited without IFBB credentials?
    It sounds like she fucked up and is deflecting the blame elsewhere.

    She requested her pro card at the beginning of the year.

    All of them should have communicated better. Rules should be enforced and she should be there to compete. Adults work things out. Fans need to see the best that is out there and want to compete and follow the rules. These type of occurrences can only make competitions look shady.
