Mr. Willard To place my image with a fake article that you did not interview me for, and having that article placed on a web site that endorses anabolic steroids with advertisements for 3 months is cheap and disrespectful. My attorney brought this to my attention this morning. To avoid any kind of legal action against You and those involved please remove the article and my image ASAP. You will not be contacted again. ROBBY ROBINSON
Your attempts to censor my reporting of your statements on steroid regulation using legal threats is disappointing; clearly, my free speech will stand unabridged. I am utterly shocked at your actions in this instance - you (of all people) should value and respect the free speech afforded to us in the United States.
This is not what I expected from one of the most outspoken bodybuilders in the history of the sport. You have boldly spoken about the racism of Arnold Schwarzenegger having accused him of directing racial slurs at you among other things. You have not shied away from controversy fully exercising the limits of your free speech.
There is nothing "fake" about the article I wrote in which I quoted your statements on anabolic steroids accurately and in the appropriate context. The article was exceedingly fair to you by promoting your blog and your opinions on anabolic steroids to a wider audience.
Do you not stand behind your statements made in your interview to Muscle Sport Mag (MSM)? Since you are identified as a "contributor" to the website and have offered your image to be used with the interview on the MSM website, I assume you fully endorse the statements you made in your interview.
Then why would you be ashamed that your statements are widely reported to the bodybuilding community? Do you not stand behind your statements? Did you not publicly admit to using anabolic steroids in the interview? IF so, why are you resorting to legal threats to have the article removed and your opinions on anabolic steroids suppressed?
If you don't wish to be quoted on statements made about your history of steroid use OR your opinions on the "powers that be" in bodybuilding OR your opinions on government regulation of anabolic steroids, perhaps you should not publicly speak about the topic.
Since you have not objected to the facts stated in my article, I assume that your only objection is the appearance of an article about "Robby Robinson's opinions on anabolic steroids" on an "anabolic steroid-related website" that reports on anabolic steroid regulation.
Guess what? If a bodybuilding celebrity and legendary figure in the sport of bodybuilding discusses his opinions on anabolic steroid regulation, then I will write about it.
The photo(s) that I used with the article was copyrighted by Muscletime.com and used with permission. I have removed these photos voluntarily since I do not wish to involve Muscletime.com in your legal threats. Besides, my friend who photographed you is a big fan of yours and has a lot of respect for you.
As for me, my respect for you has been diminished due to your actions today.
