Yea, that is a true story, Keith. I was the one that took him to his hotel room and "locked him in for a couple of days". I don't know what the hell he did but when he came out of that room, he was a completely different bodybuilder and went on to bring down the house that evening.
I've had a few interesting conversations with Pete and I can honestly state that he is definitely one of the most interesting guys to talk with about bodybuilding and its history. (Especially his personal involvement with it and his road to success!)
I hope to write a book about those times someday!
