Vic Richards continues scathing attack on Jim Manion.
Bodybuilding legend, Vic Richards, has continued to attack Jim Manion, on his official social media pages.
Vic Richards, was one of the freakiest bodybuilders in the history of the sport. During the peak of his career, Richards decided to stay away from the professional bodybuilding.
Richards would have been a challenger for the Mr. Olympia title, but destiny took Richard down a different path.
However, the decision to stay away from the competitive stage did not ruin Victor’s career, he was just as popular, thanks to magazine features and appearances.
It’s still a mystery why Richards refused to compete, but his recent social media rants could be the answer to all the questions.
Vic Richards calls out NPC/Pro League President Jim Manion
Richards has started a scathing attack on NPC/Pro League President, Jim Manion.
Nobody knows what triggered Richards to start such an attack against one of the most powerful men in the industry.
Jim Manion already has his hands full with the Washington Post investigations, directed at the NPC, Pro League and the Manion family.
Richard’s has been publishing a number of posts in the last few weeks, but the last few have been directly aimed at Jim Manion.
The first attack was published on 16 January, 2023, with Richards labeling Manion as “The center of everything that plagues the world of Bodybuilding.”
Immediately after the first post was published by Vic Richards, a number of bodybuilding personalities contacted Evolutionofbodybuilding.net, alleging that Richard’s Facebook page was hacked.

“Jim Manion and his kingpins robbed the poor and cheated the blind”
– Vic Richards
Richards has alleged that Manion should be sharing his wealth with the professional athletes, rather than putting it all in his pocket.
It does not look like Richards will be stopping his attacks any time soon, with the bodybuilding world and Jim Manion waiting anxiously for what Victor has to say.
To make matters worse for Jim Manion, Richards created a few new controversial hashtags, “#jimmymustgo”, and “#jimmanionmustgo”. The hashtags are inserted at the end of each social media post.

Sometimes it takes a revolution to achieve a resolution. “Jim Manion must go!” (16 January, 2023)
“There is no force on earth that can stop an idea whose time has come.”
“Jimmy, open up the checkbooks and pay these athletes! They have given you their most valuable assets, their body and soul.”
“You said they are an “IFBB PRO,” so why should they have paid you to profit from their hard work? No entertainer should have to pay to perform in his or her own show.”
“We demand that every professional bodybuilders receive mandatory healthcare coverage and a percentage of total equity made from every show.”
“At least a minimum of $120,000 per year. And if you can’t find it in your heart to do so, please pay for their tombstone! They are muted, bullied, and can’t speak or stand for themselves.”
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH AND VALIDATION!!! (18 January , 2023)
“My Brethren, many of you have been sending messages and asking me why I am the only pro bodybuilder that is speaking up against Jim Manion and the IFBB while all the Pros remain silent.”
“Well, I can’t speak for them. It’s the question that you should all ask them. I can only speak for myself!”
“I knew from the start that that moment I stepped onto that stage I could never have been true to myself. If I can’t be true to myself, how could I be true to you and humanity? So, I chose to stay true to myself rather than sell my soul for a few paltry crumbs and become another objectified piece of livestock added to Jim Manion’s stable.”
“The same pro bodybuilders that wouldn’t speak up against Jim Manion are the same ones that wouldn’t tell you the truth about anything including how to work out the right way and eat fresh foods.”
“These are also the same athletes who were used as Jim Manion’s tools and mouthpiece in carrying out defamatory acts against me as they participated in the industry’s marketing schemes of selling cake mix as whey protein, separating you from your wallets as Jim Manion and his kingpins robbed the poor and cheated the blind.”
“I had a choice to choose between selfishness or selflessness, and I chose the latter! I refused to sell my soul to the devil.”
“You can see many of these pro bodybuilders today saying all the right things on social media doing what they do best, which is wearing masks and being Chameleons posting motivational and inspirational quotes, but are their words and actions consistent?
Does their silence make a stronger statement than all their social media posts ever could?”
“We demand that every professional bodybuilders receive mandatory healthcare coverage and a percentage of total equity made from every show.”
“At least a minimum of $120,000 per year. And if you can’t find it in your heart to do so, please pay for their tombstone! They are muted, bullied, and can’t speak or stand for themselves.” – Vic Richards
“Let’s be the change that we want to see in others” (20 January, 2023)
“Sending a message to you, my people. We are at 136.2K in the forum. The site is currently under construction and will be completely ready soon with new topics and opportunities for constructive dialogue.”
“I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. After all, you have been the people that created Vic Richards and put Vic Richards on the map. Even when the IFBB and Jim Manion tried to stop me, the voice of the people prevailed.”
“Joe Weider, who was a businessman and a man of numbers, said he wanted me to be a part of things.”
“My message resonated with you, and so did my principles: training for yourself, not depending on others to determine your greatness, finding strength and motivation from within rather than in trophies or outside validation, and developing our mind, body, and spirit through self-reliance and self-mastery.”
“Everybody is a champion, and do not let anybody tell you any different. You are not better than anyone else, and nobody is better than you. Unfortunately, my message is one that Jim Manion and even my fellow athletes have been fighting against, but as you have seen, I have stayed true to you.”
“I have not wavered, nor have I thrown my people, the tribe, under the bus, nor will I sell you for thirty pieces of silver. The message remains consistent and uncompromised.
They might be mighty, but you are mightier because we are greater in numbers. The world is about to hear you, again, people.”
“Let us stay focused on delivering the message with love, kindness, and compassion while not resorting to negativity because we would be lowering ourselves to the level of those who we are fighting against for this just cause.
Let’s go. “Jimmy must go.”
