I just spoke with Mr. O. He came on the forum to thank all his fans for their support, but unfortunately decided it was probably a bad idea to make a thread given the current aggression towards him. Any Heath fans that remain, feel free to congratulate the champ in this thread, or of course you can follow him on twitter, which is what I'll be doing from now on.
Message from Phil Heath: Phil I would just like to apologize on behalf of the idiots who posted so much BS about you. Your true fans do not doubt your integrity for a second. Congrats on #2 and keep doing what you do best. A true champion.
Message from Phil Heath: Congrats Phil! Looking forward to next year. Hoping to meet you as it'll be my first time at the Olympia.
Message from Phil Heath: OtisBDriftwood Maybe you should keep pm's private. I understand what you're trying to do but there will always be ignorant haters on this board and this is why bb.com IFBB section can never have good things.
Message from Phil Heath: Ok, actually i sent a PM to Z. to try and fix this issue when Phil contacted me, however, Phil seems decided. And actually i encourage his decision! The reaction from the users are way too overhelming over something which wasn't serious at all! He has been putting on a ton of work for the sport, often takes the time to chat with fans, this really blew out of proportions.
Message from Phil Heath: This really is why we can't have nice things. Congrats Phil, really cemented the win at the finals, shape and fullness just couldn't be matched. Is.coming.online to thank people for their support not a day after winning the Olympia humble enough for you all?
