American Media, LLC Revokes Shawn Rhoden's Eligibility For 2019 Mr. Olympia Contest

American Media, LLC Chairman and CEO David J. Pecker, owner and operator of Joe Weider's Mr. Olympia Fitness and Performance Expo and the Mr. Olympia Contest, today announced that he is revoking the eligibility of 2018 Mr. Olympia Shawn Rhoden from competing in the 2019 and future Mr. Olympia competitions. The announcement follows the recent charges that led to a warrant issued in Utah for Mr. Rhoden stemming from an alleged incident in October 2018.

In addition to revoking Mr. Rhoden's eligibility from future Mr. Olympia competitions, American Media also announced that it would suspend coverage of Mr. Rhoden in its media brands, including Muscle & Fitness and FLEX, until the legal process has been completed.

Shawn will pay dearly financially, his sponsors will dump him, his marriage is probably over, his reputation will be destroyed, his career is done

Not really. Tyson got out after 3 years and won again and made millions and millions of dollars. Its a real sport and theres a lot of money involved, but it can be done

As far as his marriage, will be over, no question.

You also have to think that Professional Bodybuilding is not always built on reputation, for obvious reasons..

do you think his mr olympia title will be deprived if shawn is convicted?

Tyson was in his 20’s when he went to prison.

Shawn is 44.

He doesn’t have 3 years to lose.

No, because he won the title before the alleged crime took place

The IFBB has enough skeletons in the closet, they don’t their #1 ranked pro winning again... with a felony rape & object rape & sexual assault charge looming over his head.

TMZ will be crawling all over that arena

Yes. I know. And you being “troubled” with her allegation of saying this is confounding.

As I said, she said this in an attempt to get him to stop the assault. And she states it did. Presumably because Shawn understood and believed her claim ... a friend was downstairs and could become suspicious if she was with him alone for too long.

“Man, she’s been gone for a while. I wonder if she is OK. Maybe I should go up to the room and check.”

Or:

“She told me if she wasn’t down within 10 minutes to come to the room ... It’s been 15. I’m gonna go.”

Shawn wouldn’t want this.

He stops and she is given an opportunity to bail.

Why am I having to explain this?!

I hear you.

The “laceration” on her vagina (according to the nurse) sounds VERY BAD for Shawn.

Even if he isn't guilty, today is more or less the end of his pro career. He's 44, it's going to be at least a year or 2 before it is settled, then you are going to have add in problems with the wife.

He won't be able to train well or use most of the types of "supplements" he needs. And you aren't going to be allowed out of the country, so any international opportunities or contests are a no go. Nothing but the small podunk supplement companies are going to be willing to offer him work. And I wouldn't put it past bodybuilding judges to place him poorly in any major contest he enters just to get him out of the sport.

He wasn't a popular Mr. Olympia, and I doubt they'd be willing to take the chance of letting him into high level bodybuilding again. Not in the era of "MeToo", etc....

He needs a total destruction of all her claims for there to be any hope.

Besides sexual assault and rape...

he was also charged with “OBJECT RAPE”

The IFBB was smart to stop him from competing

Couldn't get it up stuck an object in that hole.

Whatever the object was, the nurse observed a laceration on the victim’s vagina.

Guilty until proven innocent then.

Since 2017, there has been a doubling of workplace sexual harassment claims by men. It was only a matter of time before men would start being involved with this bullshit of pretending everything is rape.

The prosecutors in Salt Lake City probably wanted to make sure that all the DNA tests were accurate... tested, re-tested, and re-tested again.

Most Getbig members cant pass the police academy entrance exam.

In their mind the preconceived notion that a woman should be screaming NO or blowing a whistle for help means a real rape probably didnt occur.

We have members that believe if a (fe)male is sexually attractive and (s)he is willing to participate in sexual activities the age doesnt matter. So getting a consensus on rape actually being possible, period, can be tough for some to understand.

After winning the Mr Olympia in September 2018.... by October 2018, he thought that he was untouchable.

I think that the IFBB, with their drug-culture, are terrified of this case spiraling out of control.

The IFBB has always been very controlling of the bodybuilders... and the IFBB is not used to having the national spotlight.

TMZ covered the death of 26 year old Dallas McCarver... and Rich Piana..

But this is a whole new level of drama.
