Guys got too big. The oil, the site injections, the thick skin from the hgh.
In 2007, we saw Cutler, who was supposed to be starting his reign, show up smooth. His lack of veins due to thick skin, oil, gh... it's obvious now.
In 2007, we saw Ronnie with four major flaws take the stage and destroy half of his legacy, cementing an asterisk next to his name in bodybuilding history.
What the judges do TODAY will set the stage for where the sport goes for the next 5 years. If they award Jay the trophy because he's the incumbent, they lose every bit of credibility they won last year by awarding Jay the trophy. If they give Ronnie a gift, bodybuilding historians will hate him. If they give the trophy to any bloated mess, the sport will not recover.
2007 has a chance to be the year they threw all the name out the window, and gave it to the man with the best overall physique. Someone who is GOOD for the sport, who EARNED it. Any gifts tomorrow will alientate a great deal of the fan base, guys.
