King is doing the Ironman, and it seems that no one has hoticed.
There is no hype. There is no excitement. There are no "2 week out pics". There are no promises of an "alltime best". There isn't even any bashing by the kids in the 'peanut gallery'.
Is it possible that King doesn't matter anymore?
Muscletech has dropped him. He hasn't placed in the money in two years. Last year, the pics revealed what looked like an abundance of oil in his arms, and his trainer Disgusted wouldn't even deny King used oil, just that *he* didn't give it to King.
Will 2008 be the last year for King?
He will likely place 10th thru 13th at the ironman (very possible considering the top 5 are Olympians). He likely won't qualify for the Olympia again, he likely won't place top 5 at a small show again. No major company will sign a guy who saw his best over 7 years ago.
He was once a loud, middle-tier bodybuilder who never backed down from a challenge. After attempting to "call out" world class bodybuilder Dennis Wolf - which Wolf wisely ignored, as it was nothing more than an attempt to steal some of his light - not even the boards cared about King.
What's next for King Kamali?
