It breaks our hearts to watch the people’s champion and the most loved man in the bodybuilding industry, Kai Greene, with tears in his eyes announce that he will not be allowed to compete at this years Mr. Olympia.
The man so many had backed to beat Phil Heath this year has shockingly been disallowed to compete at the pinnacle of bodybuilding, due to ‘late registration’. It sounds like there’s something deeper to this whole issue….
Why is Kai Green not allowed to compete ?
This is what was claimed by a source close to doyoueven.com
“This is what I heard, not sure if it was true but would explain everything and would go back to PJ say there is stuff “behind the scenes” “Kai had big plans to launch Dynamik in conjunction with the Olympia. His agent demanded a free title sponsorship, a 20×20 booth space and no union load-in fees.
Olympia reps countered by demanding that he fork over sponsorship money like everyone else. They had a Mexican standoff. No one budged. Can’t think of a worse way to launch a supplement line than being left outside the arena at the biggest bodybuilding show of the year especially after dieting and gearing up for months.
AMI now set to completely pull the plug on him and pressuring the other mags to do the same to sabotage his line and push him over the edge “
What are your thoughts on this issue ? Please share so we can support Kai.
Poor dude….. Complete beast! He lives for this s**t man! I know he’s crushed! My heart really goes out! Keep ur head up Kai!!!!!
He forgot how to write his name?
Boo hoo.
Mr. Olympia promoter Robin Chang makes an official statement regarding Kai Greene’s ban:
“Kai has had his Olympia contract since April but refused to sign it for reasons known only to Kai. This is the same contract Kai has signed for the past 6 years. Nothing has changed but the dates. If he was banned from competing, why would we send him the contract? I’ve even heard he said he was banned from the expo! Are you kidding me?
The decision has always been Kai’s. If he REALLY wanted to compete, all he had to do was sign the contract and send it back to us, like he has done the past 6 years. The last time I spoke to Kai was with his manager about a month ago when they inquired about a booth at the Olympia. No indication that he wasn’t going to compete. I haven’t spoken to them since.
Under the IFBB Professional League rules, a competitor has up to a week prior to the competitor check-in to sign his contract.”
