It seems to be accepted knowledge that Art Atwood did recreational drugs. If I had to guess...is it safe to say that Art was doing UPPERS, and not DOWNERS?
The reason why I ask is because Ronnie Coleman, as of his 2018 documentary "Ronnie Coleman: The King", he was using 45mg of oxycodone every six hours [180mg daily], and that is only what he is prescribed - and what he was prescribed as of the time of filming in 2018 or 2017...or whenever it was filmed.
He may be acquiring more opiates on the streets in addition to his prescription, based on how he appeared in his Valuetainment interview [he definitely has the money to do it - as he was making at least $1 million back in 2001, according to Wayne Demilia, and Ronnie claimed that he was making WAY MORE money once he started his Signature Series supplement company, which leads me to believe he is making more like $5+ million per year, pre-tax].
So it's possible that Ronnie is on more than 200mg of oxycodone daily now - even if just based on his prescription increases caused by his surgeries.
My assumption is that Art Atwood was doing uppers/stimulants.
Do you know anything about that?
RIP, Art Atwood [1973-2011].
When I would see Art all the time, this was 2006 ish to around his death, he just moved to the dfw area and still competing. You would never know he was into all the other “stuff” that he was into. He was a dealer, like a lot of bbers were. Dabbled in a lot of rec drugs like X, coke, pain killers (obviously) no different than a lot of other guys
I know he got caught from the dealings, and he was brewing gear and all sorts of stuff in his house. Struck a deal and ratted out a lot of the guys that were “big” in the DFW area, hence why he only got a slap on the wrist and and no jail time
Seems like an old country boy from Wisconsin but he was a bber, and def lived the lifestyle and even divorced his wife and had a stripper gf
