2015 Mr. Olympia Report: True Devotion
Immediately after the Finals, a competitor who did not place within the top 8, was asked by a stage crew what he was intending to do now that the show was over.
Remind you, the show has now been over for less than 20 seconds and ALL competitors must attend, at least appear at, the Olympia Gala starting at 11:00 pm.
The Competitor responds, "I'm going to party and look to score some stuff." He was clearly referring to Ecstasy and the stage crewman understood fully well.
The Competitor then asks, "Do you know anybody?" to which the Stage Guy replies, "Yeah, I got a guy."
Now, before you claim that this had to do with steroids, trust me, the LAST thing this Competitor was thinking about was training, drugs or diet (that was obvious from
the way he showed up to compete). This Competitor has a long, public history with drug issues, especially Ecstasy.
What was funny, was as soon as the Stage Guy replied he had a guy, Tricky Jackson had walked over and asked, "What are you doing tonight?" completely unaware
that the other Competitor was setting up a night of partying. Tricky is NOT into that scene.
The Competitor, notorious for also showing up late to photo shoots, much like a former Co-Worker of his, arrived only 1 hour and 15 minutes late for this photo shoot the next
night. Yes, the shoot was at night because he already knew he would never arrive to a morning shoot. That, by the way, paved the road for Craig to set up his mandatory MHP
photo shoot for the next day at 10:30 am. Craig arrived half an hour early.
What upsets me is that there are people who are blessed with genetics or talent that us "normal" people can't even imagine and they waste it away due to their laziness, lack
of ambition or sense of entitlement. This Competitor's poor life choices are well publicized and his "fall" is going to be one of the most catastrophic when all is said and done.
