Martinez out of the Arnold?
Props to the boys at FLEX for continuing to feed the news vine. We did some checking here with a few sources here at getbig and it appears their latest report is checking out to be more than a rumor. Reliable sources tell us that he has been injured.
Flexonline‘s report:
No, it’s got nothing to do with those Phil Heath pictures we posted yesterday. But we’re hearing the defending Arnold Classic champ and the 2007 Mr. Olympia runner-up may have to bypass this year’s Arnold Classic after popping his kneecap while stretching yesterday.According to our sources, we’re hearing Martinez, the odds-on favorite to win the Arnold, is going in for an MRI on the knee tomorrow. If that’s the case, the door swings wide-open for a host of competitors – including Heath – to bring home the hardware from the ASC on March 1st.
