The Legend Tony Doherty

**daveel** · 10-18-2012, 05:06 PM

Tony i was reading a old interview with Nasser and he had this to say

In 1998 when I was again in Australia I received more unpleasant stories about Milos when I met the Australian pro show promoter Tony Doherty, who was living at that time with Sonny Schmidt. Doherty encouraged Sonny to tell my former wife and me what else happened between him and his "friend" Milos. Sonny this time really did not want to just come out and say more. He felt uncomfortable bringing the subject of DCM up again. He just wanted to forget about it.

Anyways, Sonny finally told me about when he used to live with Milos in the San Diego, California apartment that he was paying $850.00 US Dollars rent for, at the beginning of the '90s. And Milos had told him that he and Ursula also paid $850.00 US Dollars each. So Sonny believed that and thought that the total rent was $2550.00 US Dollars for all three of them.

Can you reveal anymore or any thoughts on Milos?

Hello Tony

I am a member of Doherty's Gym and I frequently train in the Dandenong gym. All I can say is really good job in keeping the gym in good condition and the crew there is really friendly and helpful. I went down to specifically catch a glimpse of you and evan centopani that day and man.. he's really such an awesome dude.. smiling at everyone who looked at him! But then i was still intimidated to approach you and him for a picture!

Also, really thanks to you.. I get the opportunity to watch some world-class bodybuilding competition in action here in Melbourne as I originally come from Singapore and there is no major bodybuilding events being promoted in the country (I hope we can get some!). I hope if there is an opportunity, I can get myself hooked up and learn from some of the people in dandenong gym (there's a few of them that competed in the victorian bodybuilding championship) and also definitely from you!

All the best to you and I hope you can expand this gym as quickly as possibly for others to get a chance to train in this legendary place!

What town or city would it work best?

I'd say Mornington. It has a population of 22,421 as reported by the 2011 census in addition to being surrounded by suburbs such as Mount Martha with a population of 17,087. It's a big area with many gym goers. In addition to that, Frankston is relatively close by and I'm sure people will be willing to travel considering the reputation of your gyms.

I will see what brings mate, probably a bit small but I reckon Frankston area could work well.

Awesome.

For what it's worth, a small (probably smaller than your leg room in Dandenong) gym opened up here in Mornington today and had 300 members at sign up.
