    The incident seems to have got blown out of proportion. Doesn't seem to be worth keeping it going, it is probably damaging RX. Its just ammuntion for Dave's haters.

    Dave is exactly right, though, with his comments on technology. The very idea, in THIS day and age of streaming internet media, that you could actually control absolutely ALL video broadcasting from a show is completely ridiculous. I've been to shows that expressly say, "No Photo or Video equipment allowed in the show," but then the nimrods let people with cell phones into the venue, and are oblivious to the problem with that!! Get with the times, guys!! And then what are they going to do, confiscate ALL cell phones?? I'd LOVE to see them manage THAT one!! Not to mention having to cover shows with "exclusive" texted play-by-plays in the age of instant streaming video live on the web. No webcast at the biggest amateur show in the country?? Laughable!! I mean, if we are going to regress like this technologically, why not just cover the show with tried-and-true means of communication, such as the telegraph?? Or semaphore?? Or even smoke signals?? How embarrassing, for these antediluvian attitudes towards technology to exist in BB.

    The contests meet the needs of the NPC--to qualify individuals for pro cards, & to provide opportunities to compete. The NPC has given up on attempting to promote shows that are worth sitting through for fans. They are arduous endurance contests now. Even fairly local shows have several hundred competitors. One figure class at the Nats this last week had 55 competitors. How do you judge that, with competitors doing a quick turn for under 30 seconds? (By eenie meenie meiny mo). The NPC is after numbers now, & the only thing it has to offer to induce competition is a pro qualification. I am not knocking this policy. I understand that the crop of new competitors in their teens & low twenties were no longer in the pipeline. It had been closed out of ESPN & Fox Sports broadcasts. So it moved with what it had to offer. I have seen highly satisfying competitions--Jan Tana ran theme shows (like a Hollywood stars night), & had a silent military rifle brigade in Roanoke in 2000 that was breathtaking. I cannot speak for all promoters, & haven't been to all shows, but the likes of Tana are done in bodybuilding. How much money can you get out of competitors? That seems to rule these days.

    So much sh*t talking currently going on in the rival forum
    Here's what Ron Harris has to say:

    "Dave paints himself as a crusader nobly battling the greedy powers that be on behalf of the athletes - but he isn't covering shows out of the kindness of his heart. He is PAID by sponsors to do it, just like MD is. Does he want to donate his profits to the NPC athletes to offset their unfair expenses?"

    And here are few captions from Bob Chic:

    "
    Bro...I was there for the whole thing. Trust me , there was nothing "fishy. Just Palumbo being Palumbo...as always.

    He received Permission from no one, much less JM....who he was referring to. And when he did ask JM where he could form...JM advised him to stay off to the side BEFORE you even get backstage. When Dave got that response, he told JM.."I'll just go to Pam ( Betz)"....another bad move."


    "
    Dave P on the other hand, is out to make a buck at the expense of the promoter and line his own pockets with sponsors money from his website, which is dependent on show coverage.

    Steve Karel pays a sanction fee, and provides a pro qualifying event to the athletes under the NPC name. Palumbo is there at the show representing his OWN site. No one ( including Steve) has to give him a press pass...its a privilege, not a right.

    To think he's providing anything to the athletes is a joke...he's makes good money FROM them. He's not doing anything for free."

    so it’s safe to assume that Muscular development only does the contest coverage and all the stuff they do to benefit the athletes not muscular development, right?

    what does muscular development do for free for contest coverage, athletes and all their media stuff?

    it’s hilarious how people think sone people shouldn’t make a profit

    Bob Chick is really taking the opportunity to criticise Dave. Chick needs to look in the mirror, he talks about rules but let's see what happens when promotes a show. He'll have to put his balls on the line and won't be able to take the easy road of getting by through sticking his tongue up as many assholes as he can bend over. He has a never end capacity to brown nose, explains his shit eating grin.

    I think Dave should re-address this case and make a response video to all that speculation/shit talk/smear campaign etc that's going on in the other forum.
    Right now both Ron and Chic are telling that Dave is lying about the whole situation and wasn't actually granted a permission by JM himself.

    If this isn't really the case (which I hope it isn't) could you please Dave readdress this incident and put and end to this bullshit once and for all?

    ps. Is there any way to tag users to posts?

    Well, I guess I answer this by myself as I think I found the solution.
    It is possible but in order to make this work a new mod (e.g. [DBTech]) needs to be implemented.

    I read a few more of Chic's utterances.......what a sanctimonious prick!

    Lily white Chic never broke a rule in his life...........what about buying and using illegal ped's?

    Tried to edit this but time ran out

    In my opinion this would be a great feature to the site so my question to you, fellow admins is, could you please add it?

    Also what about Bob Chic promoting a show where the competitors to compete on a level playing field have to take so many chemicals they put their organs and health in danger. Is that a moral thing to do Bob?

    Would Bob be happy to continue with the status quo of early bodybuilder deaths if it allows him to fill his pockets with money?

    How will Bob treat the competitors Bob, will they be human cannon fodder used and abused to make a buck?

    If Bob wants to throw his his righteous stones of "truth" around let him also be judged.

    Is Bob Chic telling the truth when he states he is 6'0 tall????

    Of course he isn't its a blatant lie.

    Maybe I got it wrong but isn't Bob bodybuilding's greatest Upholder of Truth?????

    Bob is a bitch....he has always been somebodys bitch, he'll bark on command.
