It appears Evan believes himself to be above the regular gym crowd. He must keep in mind that not every one in the gym is mayor of bodybuilding, nor do they care what he thinks.
As for his statement, I see no denial. Just like any other fiasco he has been involved in.
Then again, Evan is like the Bill Cosby of bodybuilding. Such a peaceful man, he would never do such a thing.
You can just imagine how mad he got when he wasn't shown respect.
Evan: "Are you using that machine?
Guy: "Yes, I am."
Evan: "How much longer are you going to be?"
Guy: "I don't know. I have a few more sets."
Evan: "Do you know who I am?"
Guy: "Nope."
Evan: "Well, I am an IFBB pro, Evan Centopani."
Guy: "Who?"
Evan: "I can't believe you don't know who I am. I will show you who I am!"
Guy: "Um........"
