After winning the Arnold Classic, 2nd at the O, and cashing that big paycheck, and being one of the highest paid and most visible names in bodybuilding, not to mention one of the top names...
Vic Martinez didn't have health insurance when he hurt his leg. He had to pay CASH for the procedure with one of the best surgeons in the country.
Now I don't wanna say "You might be ghetto if...", but in this case it might really apply.
Top of the sport for two years - in a sport completely dependent upon his body - and he doesn't have health insurance? Is it safe to assume he hasn't been getting blood levels and other things checked as well, since he obviously doesn't have a doctor?
