I just found this video of Shawn Ray talking about quitting Muscular Development Magazine. He doesn't really say why except that he wants to do new things. What do you think? Shawn Ray quit 2 weeks before the Olympia? It seems fishy to me.

I don't think he got fired but there is something going on. He quit right before the olympia? Maybe they owe him money or are not paying him enough.

Knowing Shwn from where I worked at MD with him, he would never do anything unless getting paid. And he does not come cheap, either, nor he should. The guy has a ton of credentials as both a competitor and media person. Who knows what happened at MD and their financial situation, but its obvious that Generation Iron made him an offer he couldn't refuse. And I found it so ironic that Shawn mentioned video quality and how important that is over mere content when MD's video platform is dreadful when it comes to production value and simple interest.

Forget md! They are only in it for the $$$$! You should subscribe to Joe's magazine if you don't already!

The rumor I heard was that it was indeed about money.

I think Joe will ship to Italy but I am not sure. He has an excellent bodybuilding magazine though and sometimes we even have a big banner there!
