Title: Olympia: Kai Greene dropping out! Why????
Post by: atombombbis on July 12, 2008, 03:04:29 PM
Musculardevelopment.com has just gotten word that "The Predator", Kai Greene, has chosen to skip the 2008 Mr. Olympia contest.  Despite being a dream of his since he was a young boy, Kai feels the time just isn't right.  After placing 3rd at the Arnold Classic and winning the New York Pro Show earlier this year, he wants to give his body a much needed rest so that he can properly prepare for his assault on the 2009 season. 

holy cow!

I'm thinking it's another move due to health reasons. This has happened a few times in the past, Flex Wheeler being one of them. He sat out a Grand Prix show for some reasons unknown, but prior to that he was in the hospital due to health problems. I think this was after the '02 O, but I'm not sure of that. Next thing you know, he's retired and it's due to his kidney problem. But it's not related to the diuretics or the steroids used in the past (at the time).
Maybe the latest rumors of Kai being in ill health are true? Who knows. When a bodybuilder tells the truth about things, is the day a snowball lives through its journey the fiery depths of hell.

very smart move, body needs to rest.

why would he work so hard for the NY Pro - stay in contest shape for 6 weeks after the Arnold - then sit out another 10 months?

He was ramping up for the O, and ten weeks out, he's suddenly calling it quits.  This isn't a planned break.  Something happened.

Maybe it was the new drug policy, maybe it was the health.  But he planned to do that show (I'm sure the latest MD in the cover - after the branch side tri cover - will talk about his O prep).

its not a big deal if he didnt plan to miss the O..... as of a couple of days ago he might have decided to skip it and rest till next season .......because....... his body suddenly told him too.......

remember kai has just recently found out how to get great conditioning for a show.....so maybe hes finding it stressful on the body and wants some time of to come in even better shape.....i.e waistline down a bit and get even drier.................

every other pro has to "worry" about that too, i dont think its an issue exclusive to kai

did anyone fail the "drug test" last time they had it?

(http://www.ironmagazine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/kai.jpg)Notice the swollen left lymph node, groin area.

Lymph nodes can become swollen from infection, inflammatory conditions, an abscess, or cancer. Other causes of enlarged lymph nodes are rare. By far, the most common cause of swollen lymph nodes is infection.
When swelling appears suddenly and is painful, it is usually caused by injury or an infection. Enlargement that comes on gradually and painlessly may, in some cases, result from cancer or a tumor. CAUSES>
nfections that commonly cause swollen lymph nodes include mononucleosis, German measles (rubella), tuberculosis, mumps, ear infection, tonsillitis, an abscessed or impacted tooth, gingivitis (swelling of the gums), mouth sores, and sexually transmitted diseases.
Immune or autoimmune disorders that can cause swollen lymph nodes include rheumatoid arthritis and HIV. Cancers that can cause swollen glands include leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Which lymph nodes are swollen depends on the type of problem and the body parts involved. Identifying the location can help determine the possible cause.
Swollen lymph nodes may also be caused by some medications (such phenytoin for seizures) or certain vaccinations (such as typhoid immunization).
People that put their bodies under large amounts of stress for long periods of time are far more likely to become sick as their immune systems are low. Maybe the guy is just sick.


Or HIV infected citrus fruits could be to blame.

Every pro Bber makes more money than from competing-except maye Jay. There is no money in Pro BBing-in fact it is a net loss when you factor in drugs.

A show like the Ironman pays $10K for FIRST place-so everyone in that show loses money after drug costs, including the winner.

Can't you meet up with Alex23 or someone else that lives "down there"?

I have never met Alex, but I could maybe meet up with him. Where does he train at-you know???

On posters, or crawling around around the floor, or behind some sofa.

They said it would tarnish the BB image and the Mr O show
if a man with the nickname "grapefruit homoman" should place in top5.

The message was clear:

The Mr O is not a big gay meeting place... yet.

Maybe it was the new drug policy, maybe it was the health.  But he planned to do that show (I'm sure the latest MD in the cover - after the branch side tri cover - will talk about his O prep).

He was calling it quits in early June, but had to make sure he could get out his agreement to do the Olympia.
