Yes very good info.. i thought this was a good post:

As most people know, the IFBB makes rules as they go. There should be no reason Levrone should have been able to compete. Every other athlete had to have their contract and IFBB dues paid on time. They bent the rules for him and actually, every athlete who placed below him could file a lawsuit against the IFBB for allowing him to compete because there is no stipulation that if an athlete decides at the last minute to compete that he may do so by paying a fine. Also, every Weider athlete has a contract that states their contract may be terminated if..."your reputation is diminished by reason of, for example, without limitation, criminal conviction, involvement with drugs or other controlled substances, or any other conduct involving moral turpitude,..." If the IFBB wants to enforce rules then every Weider athlete needs to be tested for ALL controlled substances. The IFBB also always refers to its "rules," which to my knowledge, no athlete has ever been furninshed a copy and on the official IFBB website, the "Rules" section has said "coming soon" for at least a year. How are any of the athletes to know what the official rules are if they have never been furnished a copy or given the resources to review them? Also, This is directly for the IFBB Constitution's Code of Ethics: "to oppose the use of banned substances and to compete drug-free" Jay should not be singled out.

So what is the solution , is Shawn Ray right that the IFBB competitors should form a union?

That is absolutely rediculous! I am by no means a competitive bodybuilder. But it seems as tho the sport of bodybuilding rewards very few of the elite athletes that are at the pinnacle of the sport. Almost to the extent of deterring athletes from actually trying to reach that point. I mean really, with such stipulations going against the aspiring bodybuilder, it seems that some would decide to put their efforts elsewhere. I guess that does just prove that those athletes advanced enough to be in competition shape really do have an astounding love for the sport.

its just that if jay cutler gets stripped of his second place and $60 000 after failing a drug test in a competition where they all probably would fail, it just seem strange that this happens just when he leaves weider and joins ISS, as long as one man has that much power over a competition it cant be fair...

But U are right there are not a lot of rewards for the pro or the amateurs for that matter (unless they reach the absolute top) and they should be rewarded for their hard work and dedication but still everything should be done fair... At least I think so
