I guess Shawn got in Flex's head by demanding a x-ray of Flex's "suspicious" calves. Shawn claimed they were implants and therefore was against the IFBB rules and wanted them x-rayed before the competition.
With that, Flex conjured up a hoax a ninjas car-jacking him and apparently wore a fake cast to the Olympia. I also heard that Flex was having trouble with his diet and could not get in shape in time thus conjurring up the infamous "ninja attack".
Did Flex NOT compete because of Shawn?
Shawn or Flex, please speak on this?
