1990 Arnold Classic - Interview with Shawn Ray and Mike Ashley
« on: February 17, 2013, 10:45:10 PM »


ttp://www.musculardevelopment.com/contests/2013-arnold-classic/5262-winner-mike-ashley-discusses-the-controversial-1990-arnold-classic-with-shawn-ray.html


Shawn Ray and Mike Ashley discuss the money, title, fallout and ramifications of the 1990 Arnold Classic where Shawn Ray was disqualified from the victory for failing a drug test, while Ashley, who was competing clean, was awarded the title. Particularly interesting is the discussion of how Ray learned of the failed drug test seven days after celebrating the victory on stage, having dinner with Arnold and Maria, and soaking in the title. This is a fantastic interview featuring a couple of class acts from the history of the Arnold Classic.

Not natural at all, he had fun making fun of everyone he could convince.  He only said he was natty as he was scared of cops!!!!

well he never had the "look" of the other drug abusers..something about him always looked different than the rest...a little bit less muscled so to speak...

im not going to say he wasnt natural, but maybe he was... the planet has loads of freaks... not a single indication other than his size that he was using...

Odd  ???  His skeletal structure is odd like Phil Heath's.  That's about it.  100% drugged.



The arms, leg cuts and delts are impossible even for a black on a bucket of chicken a day.

Must've skipped his mind

Luiz de Freitas also claimed natural after he failed his test at the World Champs, then came back as a natural champion. Oddly, he was even better as a nattie...

Amazing natural specimen.

Especially if you consider he competed with peers that were drugged to the gills, yet he was just as good or better than many, all the while natural

Must've been his extra hard work, attention to detail, God given genes and daily prayers

It would have helped if they got the results of the drug test, BEFORE handing out the trophy and the check.

This happened at one other show that I remember: The 1996 AAU Mr. America. Charles Durr was awareded the title and trophy on stage. But, when the drug test results hit, Durr was disqualified and tall-class winner, Doug Reiser, ended up being the overall Mr. America winner.

Apparently, you haven't been around enough liberals.  ;D

Don't you think some of his fellow pros, including Ray himself, would have outed Ashley if he had the goods on him, taking anabolics?

Shawn Ray was young, he hadn't developed that "talent" yet.

What "talent"? If Ashley claiming to be drug-free and a fellow pro knows he's not and can prove it, what's stopping him from doing such?

Because you do not want to bring undue attention, and focus more spotlight on steroids
Any guy that does that is effectively damaging himself too


Do you believe Mike Ashley was a natural bber?
