I hate when people say shit like that. It had nothing to do with M-Tech. If that was the case then why not make it a bidding war where all the top sup companies can try to buy there athlete the Olympia title. I'm sure BSN could afford it. The bottom line is that Vic got screwed because with BBing and juice under such a microscope the powers that be decided it would be better to leave the great white hope as their champion rather than give it to an ex con. Do I agree...NO. Vic was the best and should have won but this has to do with money....just not M-Techs money. Why did Vic win the Arnold and not Branch or one of M-Techs many other athletes? Guys need to give up on thinking the crown can be bought.
