2011 CBBF Bodybuilding Nationals OFFICIAL THREAD

[Prisoner#22]

Hello all.
My name is Steve Marsh.
I won the Masters Light Division at this show. I am a little confused as to what happened in the Welterweight Division. If you look at the placings you will see that I beat Abdul and William (With William in fourth) for the division. Then in the Welterweight I ended up in fourth behind Abdul and William.
I am not going to comment on my condition or my competitors conditions or make any claims or accusations.
For the record. I have no issue with losing to Abdul. I consider him a good friend but I'm just not sure how this happens when the two classes were held a couple hours apart. In fact I discussed this with my friend Abdul after the show and he was at a loss as well. He came to win, rightly so, gave his best and accepted his placings in both catagories based on the judges decision.
I have asked people in the audience if my condition or my competitors conditions changed significantly during the time frame and the answer has been no. So.... I ask the question.

Can anyone in attendence explain to me what happened.
