Former track coach Trevor Graham is suing the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for $30 million. The suit filed in Federal court this week alleges that USADA permanently tarnished Graham's name when they accused him of providing performance enhancing drugs to the track athletes he coached. According to court documents, Graham says USADA "slandered my name for the whole world to see."
Following a contest, sometimes I like to sit back for a couple of days and let the event sink in before I pen my observations. This year's IFBB New York Pro had a lot of facets to it that are not normally part of my scope, so I needed to digest and assimilate what had happened.
First off, it was interesting that the competitive mix of the show was a bit streamlined. Bodybuilding shows have grown so much with the various divisions that a promoter has to now choose what Divisions he's going to showcase if he expects the show to end on the same day it started. Right now the IFBB is home to Pro Men's Open Bodybuilding, Men's Under 202 Bodybuilding, Women's Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure and Bikini. That's six divisions requiring both a prejudging and finals.Unless you've been living under a rock, you have all heard me remark on numerous occasions that 202 Mr. Olympia Kevin English is a huge massive dude who I swear weighs 260 in the off season and never carries much body fat. How does a guy of this size squeeze into the Pro 202 Class? You want to talk about warrior dieting? Pfffff.... Kevin has taken his days of making weight for wrestling to a whole other level-- a level most of you can't even comprehend.
