Bodybuilding Gossip's "Who is it?"

Ack! I thought Francois and Flex might but the brakes on you at least! :D

Correct on all counts, Gregzs.

Here are the athletes and their associated "gossip" or reason for inclusion.

Michael Francois' competition career was ended by health issues.

Troy Zuccolotto's IFBB career ended by participation in the World Bodybuilding Federation, a lucrative move for Zuke if you listen to the one radio interview. I believe it was an old episode of No Bull where he stated he owns at least one rejuvenation clinic and a number of coin-operated car washes. Apparently, the man is rolling in cash. Kudos to Troy for investing wisely.

Ed Corney, famous for appearing in the film "Pumping Iron" and on the cover of the first edition of the book. Corney substituted for Franco Columbu as Arnold's training partner in the film as Columbu I believe was competing overseas at the time of filming.

James "Flex" Lewis is not competing in 2010 much to the disappointment of his legion of fans.

Bertil Fox, imprisoned for a double murder.
 
That one is too difficult. I have no idea.
 
I bet you can guess the person in the center if you look at that one arm long enough. :D

Glad this one stumped you, though! :p

Victor Conte on the left and then two men who have appeared on the Olympia stage!
 
I keep thinking Dexter Jackson and Chris Cormier though. Still not sure.
 
Post #98 looks like Phil Heath.
 
That last one is tough. I can barely see some tattoos on the forearms though.
 
Until I looked at his knees I kept thinking he was Arabic. It is the lighting that did it. That has to be Chris Cormier.

Correct!

His knees?

I can often identify a bodybuilder by his vein pattern on his biceps. lol

Mike Mentzer, Ronnie Coleman, and more. Very recognizable.

Damn, I have not been checking this thread...I would have got Ronnie Coleman and Phil Heath. :grumble:

:D

Next!

I heard he had some type of nerve damage that ruined his physique for competition. Hopefully that's not true. It was just a post on a board as I recall.
 
That one is good. I can get some that are from before my time but not that one.
 
Speaking of Belgian bodybuilders, this article from 2009:

Event canceled after competitors flee

BRUSSELS -- The Belgian bodybuilding championship has been canceled after doping officials showed up and all the competitors fled.

A doping official says bodybuilders just grabbed their gear and ran off when he came into the room.

"I have never seen anything like it and hope never to see anything like it again," doping official Hans Cooman said Monday.

Twenty bodybuilders were entered in the weekend competition.

Cooman says the sport has a history of doping "and this incident didn't do its reputation any good."

During testing of bodybuilding events last year, doping authorities of northern Belgium's Flanders region found that three-quarters of the competitors tested positive.

That first pic used to be on the cover of Arnold:Education of a Bodybuilder. That was a book I bought when I was a teen along with Pumping Iron, where the second pic is from.

The second pic has appeared in countless chest building articles over the years. I wish I knew where it first appeared.

Can't even tell you who the photographer was. :( Russ Warner was one, Artie Zeller another who worked with Arnold. I'm sure there were many more.

Had those two books as well! :bow:

Pierre Vandensteen* was the Belgian bodybuilder, Gregzs.

How about this one?

OK I'm outta my league. I MIGHT have gotten Bertil.

Especially for you then, Kathybird:
