I think the funniest part was that fool Dan Solomon having to make up an excuse and say that they are still collating the results, but the results could be interesting. I have a feeling this is the last time we will see a online voted fan's choice award. Good ol' Russian hackers.

Russian hackers? comeone... what's wrong with voting for someone who represents your country? doesn't really matter where he places. Hey I'm Russian and even though Shelestov isn't that great I'm behind him all the way. Why wouldn't I be? And any other Russian person for that matter? You also gotta remember that people from all those countries that used to be part of the Soviet Union consider themselves Russian. So it's quiet a population if you think about it

LOL dude you answered you're own question. You are supposed to vote for who you think was the better bodybuibuilder not vote for you're countryman.

Ukraine was part of Russia if you did not know that. And as I've already said a lot of people from countries that used to be part of USSR consider themselves Russian.

Which question are you referring to exactly? Personally I didn't vote for anybody I'm just trying to explain why a lot of Russians might have voted for Shelestov, which makes a lot more sense than some "hacking theory". And yeah I agree with you about how it should be done but as you have probably already noticed, in bodybuilding, not everything has always been done how it should have been... Just have to come to terms with that I guess. I can say one thing that Russians have a lot of pride in them so that can justify the fact that they voted for their countryman instead of the better bodybuilder. What can you do..? Blame the whole nation for doing so?

By the way it's called fans' choice award for a reason. The word FAN is the key. So if you think about it your statement is not entirely true.

If that's true then its a little unfair.. but at the same time pretty funny if you ask me...

I was using the term 'hacking' in a tongue-in-cheek manner, so I wouldnt get too worked up about that.
I agree with you regarding there being a lot of Russian bodybuilding fans, however you must at least find it somewhat strange that a guy who finishes last and does not have big presence in the sport almost doubles the amount of votes of the guy who finishes second (Phil Heath). This was definitely not the case last year, so it's a reasonable assumption to think something very strange went on with the voting system.
