i thought GH15 was working on his release
From Muscular Development....
It's official. Due to his current circumstances, Victor Martinez will be unable to compete at the Arnold Classic now just over ten weeks away. Victor's next hearing will not take place until January 6. Even if he had been able to get out in time for Christmas, there would have been insufficient time to properly prepare.
"Normally I like to have at least twelve weeks to get ready for a show," he told me via telephone last night. "Since I've already been in here twelve weeks with no access to weights or quality food with high protein, it would take me a good six to eight weeks to regain the muscle I've lost and get back to feeling normal before I started a contest prep."
As far as his case goes, Victor was enthused to tell me a new liaison had been appointed to him recently. He described this man's position as being similar to a District Attorney, but for Immigration cases rather than criminal.
"Unlike the last guy, he actually came by to talk to me for a few minutes and let me know he would be reviewing my case in detail," he said. The man also let him know that he's seen many immigrants get probation for offenses less serious than those that have Victor currently under review for deportation.
Victor was not happy about his current situation, but he seems to be adapting. "I lost my restaurant, and now the landlord is suing me," he informed me. "I almost feel safer in here, except that I want to get out to be with my kids."
Victor is staying busy corresponding with fans and reading. Right now he is working on Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper and A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Martinez wanted to thank all his loyal fans for their support in this trying time, and to let us all know he's far from done. "I will compete again, mark my words," he said. "This whole situation makes me so hungry to just go back to what I love doing, training and competing as a professional bodybuilder. I don't know how long I will be in here or what the final outcome will be, but I will be back and better than ever."
