How is it that Shawn Ray keeps his Weider contract even though he has not competed in almost two years?
Very simple. Shawn thinks he's slick but he's not fooling me. What he does is continue to tell the Weider organization that he'll prepare for the next show that is coming up. For instance, now he's going to walk on stage at the Ironman in 2004... bullshit. He's been saying he'll do the next show for like five shows now. This keeps the Weider group thinking he's still going to compete, allowing him to keep his contract when in reality everyone knows he has retired. I know several pros he has notified and told that he's retired. Don't ask me how he gets away with it, but he does. Also, just for your information he has stated to many that the reason he's decided not to do this year's Olympia is because he feels that there has been way to much attention on only three athletes...Gunter, Ronnie and Jay. Boo Hoo Shawn! It's called marketing and that's what people are going to be watching for, these three guys. One of these days the Weider people will see that the guy isn't going to compete anymore and finally quit wasting their money.

Interview with Shawn Ray: 3/1/05
Why did you stop competing in pro contests?
In 2001, I knew on stage that year at the Olympia that I would not be back. I had just received my second consecutive 4th place finish following the 2000 Olympia, and the irony of this situation was that, going into the 2001 Olympia, Kevin Levrone was not a registered member of the IFBB nor did he have a contract to compete in the 2001 Olympia. And it wasn't news. Every knew about this. So much so that the week of the contest, Wayne DeMilia and Jim Manion made a consorted effort to let every know that Kevin Levrone would not be allowed to compete in the Mr. Olympia should he show up. For the two reasons above. That is fine - Kevin is a top five guy, one less person I don't have to worry about - theoretically, he eliminated himself. That being said, we go on to compete in the show, and they allow Kevin Levrone in to compete at the 11th hour.
The answer I got was 'the powers that be' allowed Kevin in. I didn't know who the 'powers that be' were? All I knew was that I did know who was the IFBB Vice President, and who was the head judge of the Olympia. Wayne Demilia and Jim Manion. And when they say someone is not going to be allowed in because of a rules violation, I expected those rules to get enforced. Which they weren't. Kevin wound up in 3rd place, I wound up in 4th place. A week after the show, Jay Cutler failed the diuretics test. He threatened a lawsuit, then the federation goes and throws out all of the drug tests, which I thought was ridiculous in and of itself. They said it was because the lab was not an IOC accredited lab, because their registration had expired? All that was mumbo jumbo, nobody in the federation on the athletes side heard of the drug facility having to be an official IOC lab without us being an Olympic sport. And the lab registration being expired sounded like smoke and mirrors.
Needless to say, Jay Cutler did fail the test, and everyone knew it, the results were made public - so that had Jay been eliminated since the rules were violated ? I would of moved up. Had Kevin not been allowed to compete because of the rules by the IFBBs own standards, I would of ultimately wound up in 2nd place.
