Lance Armstrong: Novitsky's Next Victim!

Oakley-Lance-Armstrong3Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong now has the pleasure of having not only the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) looking up his ass, but also the former IRS agent, turned FDA special agent, who was the lead investigator in the BALCO case, Jeff Novitzky.  In addition to USADA's investigation, Novitzky has focused the forces of the Food and Drug Administration's criminal investigations unit on Armstrong to look into whether or not he took performance enhancing drugs when he won cycling's most prestigious race.  Novitzky, who made a name for himself in the press spending tens of millions of dollars chasing Barry Bonds out of Cooperstown, became famous in the BALCO case which involved numerous top professional and Olympic athletes, many of whom went to jail, were discredited, or ended their careers.

Revolving Door Contractual Policy No Good For Bodybuilding!

The current stream of hot male bodybuilding talent running in and out of a certain bodybuilding magazine  these days reminds me of something you'd see at a brothel during a half price sale.

2010 IFBB New York Pro Impressions!

WinklaarFollowing 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.

KevinEnglishUnless 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.
