Shows you how corrupt the world stage is.

[josephjackson]

They didn’t like him because of his generosity

[ellious]

The Robin Hood of Bodybuilding. Respect.

[aliettienne]

He shared his prized money with those who've placed lower than him? This is incredible 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. This ban is so unfair.

Lee Priest, Tom Platz, Mike Mentzer, I say enough victims of the corrupted IFBB!!

Edited: Thanks for all the comments guys. Too many, way too many have fallen victims to the corrupted system. :'(

I met Lee at the Arnold expo in 2000, he is a great guy !

[liamjackson]

The nail that sticks out always gets hammered, no one likes anyone that speaks out and has their own opinions, he's an honest down to earth no bullshit bloke 👏👏👏

[antonyrajarathinam]

Lee is straight forward guy. Bloody Joe Arnold and judges screwed up IFBB. 81 bodybuilders boycotted IFBB.

[jizchimp]

IMO he’s the freakiest bodybuilder to ever get on stage. To have the genetics to put that amount of muscle on a 5’4” frame with the type of quality muscle with balance is so far out of the norm it’s ridiculous.

[JCKeus-cxwm]

And that is exactly how Arnold won a couple of his O-titles. Politics.

[georgewilkie]

Lee Priest was an outstanding BodyBuilder. And, The IFBB has never be totally on the level. Priest told the Truth.

[noktasifir]

It is not because he had “too much integrity”, it is because the corrupt ones have no integrity. This is super messed up.

[aaronhigareda]

Lee has always been one of my favorites of all time and Branch Wareen 2 of the most hard working Bodybuilding generation

[zVegas]

You can never Have too much integrity, Lee P is a BEAST

[pafsrh]

Got to speak the truth 100%, never back down, people humans are weak when they want there way over what those in power want, the desire the truth not biases

[dennishowell]

Wow what a very awesome person. That's really hard to find in people . For telling the truth . Always tell the truth even if it causes your death.

[AlienX-dwsz]

Lol anything that was created by the Weiders is horrible for bodybuilding, I wish people would wake up to that and get rid of the Weider name. The president of the Olympia is a no name random guy, we have judges that never competed it’s unacceptable. Lee called out the bs and they tried to kill his career, same thing happened with Mike Mentzer after the 1980 Olympia.

[theamericangainster]

Lee was and still is a no non sense rough character and every bit of a mans man with integrity, grit, bravery, and confidence and always told it like it was. This is why ben weider and ifbb officials were more then showing favor to arnold and any contestant that was represented by their biggest endorsers and sponsors so it was basically never known if the real winner took the sandow during that period. Arnold, Tom, Dorian, Ronnie, Dexter, and Cutler all said Lee would have won every show he was in in his prime and probably tied Lee Haney or Ronnie
FUCKING LEGEND 💯 and UNCROWNED KING

[johnschindler]

He's honest and can be blunt with it, some don't like that. Shame that people in power are afraid of the truth.

[blakemoore]

The goat. There's a reason he is so well respected to this day as one of the best.
