IFBB is a dangerous place for competitors. Once you turn pro with them, very few ever come out without ever suffering from some kind of injuries. I spoke to Don Long about it, (Don is healthy now thanks to his sister who donated her kidney), he pointed out all kindso f injuries..... Also, Don always had one kidney bigger than the other, so I would'nt go blaming roids as what caused his kidney failure. His lifestyle was pretty bizar. Also Kevin Levrone told me the same thing. I really don't think that the IFBB is doing much for promoting the sport this way. Lets face it, the general public will never respect the sport in the US. The IFBB drug tests too. Incredible.
-I have true respect for ALL BODYBUILDERS- especially the IFBB pros. Remarkable athletes who deserve a lot more respect.
