Kevin English Out of the Olympia
« on: September 10, 2012, 06:13:41 PM »
Kevin English, 3x Olympia 202 Showdown Champion, has formally announced that he will not be competing in the 2012 Olympia 212 Showdown. Citing an injury that has plagued him for years and recently gotten worse, English stated:

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I will not be competing in the 2012 Olympia 212 Showdown.

I’ve always had problems with my knees due to years of wrestling. I have no cartilage, just bone on bone. When I was dieting for the New York Pro, my body was often dehydrated and depleted which lessened the cushioning between my joints.

During a leg workout a few weeks after the show, I felt a really sharp pain when squatting. I immediately put the weight down. My training partner and physical therapist, Dr. Michael Camp, was there to provide immediate assistance.

I trained lighter over the next few weeks and the pain was bearable, but still there. The injury eventually progressed into a partial patella tendon tear, so we began the rehab process without giving up on the Olympia.

This weekend, Dr. Camp and I decided that training for the Olympia Showdown was counterproductive to the healing process. I would not be able to do both effectively; therefore, I am talking time off to heal, with the support of my therapist, MetRx, MD, and nutritionist Fakhri Mubarak.

I would like to thank everyone the continued support. I AM NOT RETIRED.  We are already looking at shows for 2013. I will still be at the 2012 Olympia, working the Met-Rx booth and excited to see the show and the greatest fans in the world.

English won the Olympia 202 Showdown title the last three years and was among the favorites going in to this year’s competition. The door is now open to crown a new champion…check back to MD for all the breaking OLYMPIA WEEKEND news!

Seems kinda fishy.  Bodybuilding is not a real sport so I'm pretty sure he could still compete if he really wanted.  

I see holes in this story:  

-Who is dehydrated 3 weeks out?  

-3 weeks away dude, just train around the injury, not like a ton of progress is gonna be made in that short amount of time anyway.  

-Again I can't stress this enough, bodybuilding is not a sport so he could easily still stand on a stage in a thong in front of men without stressing the knee.  

-Do people really train with their physical therapist hovering over them?  

-Nutritionist.   ::)  8)    More like drug dealer.

If true, dude could not train legs at all. None. He would be in constant pain and barely able to walk without assistance.

Needed to drop out for fear of the powers that be would give him the title once again and the crowd would riot hurting half the crowd (10-15 people). Great humanitarian looking out for the fans and not financial gain

After last year's Olympia and this year's NY Pro, the judges were out of gifts for Kevin.  Good decision to just step aside and feign injury.

  Honestly..bad genes.. My mother has knee replacements.. My brother one already.. Now don't get me wrong, heavy squats and leg presses I am sure exacerbated the issue.. But my doc thinks my job had more to do with it than the lifting.. I am on my feet for the whole 8 hours on cement and walking..weighing over 250 the whole time added into it.. So additional outside issues factor in but, it was gonna happen..
