Kevin Levrone (K-Lo) won the 2001 Olympia
« on: March 09, 2006, 08:15:02 AM »
Who should have won the 2001 Olympia? Even though Ronnie was massive and Jay's conditioning was the best onstage, neither should have won.

Jay tested positive for diuhretics, clearly violating the rules of that show (also explains why his conditioning was better).

So then Ronnie's the winner, right? Nope. During Big Ron's posing routine, which he dedicated to the fallen police officers and firefighters of 9/11, he removed his posing trunks revealing another pair coloured with the stars and stripes of the American flag. However, according the official IFBB regulations handbook, only solid coloured posing trunks may be worn on stage. Thus, an American flag trunk would disqualify whoever wore it.

And so, with Big Ron and and Iron Jay both technically disqualified, the true winner of the 2001 Mr. Olympia is and was K-Lo himself, Kevin Levrone!

Kevin was a little lazy... he could have been so much better. Ronnie pays his dues and deserved all of his wins.

Wasn't that the show where Kevin pulled the American Flag out of his trunks so I guess since they were part of his original tights or an extension of.....he should be disqualified as well for solid color trunks.

Beleive me I love levrone but just trying to follow the rationale...

So I guess the real winner is Shawn Ray....Yayy Shawn finally won the Olympia!!! Well deserved...

K-Lo's routine to Hero by Enrique was also the only tasteful routine of the night.

Actually it was 1990, I never got the Prize Money to have to return it.
I bounced back quite nicely and never lost a wink of sleep before placing top 3 in the Mr. O that same year and returning to the ASC the following year for the Money and Trophy.
All things work together for the good! ;D
Peace,
S. Ray

Shawn Ray = Hardest working bodybuilder to never win an O?

I think so cause most the people who were up there but didn't win have been called lazy and not at their full potential but i don't believe that anyone has called S. Ray lazy, well not since he retired and had a daughter and all but it's a well deserved rest if you wanna call it that :)

i was watching the BFTO 1998 recently and Shawn Ray was talking about how refreshing it was that it wouldnt be the same Mr. Olympia to be crowned as it had been for the past 12 years of his career. He just seemed so optimistic that the trend would finally be broken. Eight years later that's still not the case...

Jay seemed really crushed this year when he lost after dedicating an entire year to just that one contest. It's hard to imagine how Shawn Ray could have endured that same feeling for 12 or 13 years. That's some serious hard work and dedication. Shawn, you may not be an official Mr. Olympia, but you earned the right for your name to be spoken of on the same level as any existing Mr. O a long time ago. Your posters will never leave my walls.

I don't think that rules say that wearing non solid colour trunks implies disqualification.
Probably not respecting that rule implies only a monetary penalty.
Sorry Shawn, no Mr.O. title in 2001  ;D
You deserved it at least twice in the nineties though...

Jay should have won in '01.

Kevin should have won in '00.


All the other Ronnie wins were legit.  Weider spotted him 2... same amount that were gifted to Dorian.
