That seems like kind of a dumb thing to overlook. When was this?

He got suspended last year. His suspension is up before this years Olympia. When it's over the IFBB will decide if they will allow him back in. Lee is petitioning to be allowed back in and he's asking for an invitation to compete in the Olympia. He plans on retiring and moving back to Australia and wants the 2008 Olympia to be his last show. Since his suspension he has not competed in any IFBB show that would qualify him for the Olympia. If they allow him in it would be unfair to all of the other athletes who had to qualify.

How could he let something like that happen? Seems strange to me. Thanks for the reply
