supposedly he admitted it in his book. as well as his bs story about the ninjas.
instead of competing against dorian yates again, flex made some story up that he successfully defended an attack of 4 azn's trying to car jack him. successful, in that his car was no stolen and he wasnt hurt badly. he showed up at the 97 Olympia, with some banges on his fingers.
dorian called him out. he said that flex never stated what his injuries were and why he couldnt compete. flex never responded or gave anyone an indication to the extent of the injuries.
in 93, after the Olympia, Flex called Dorian "untouchable".
