sit them all down with a big box of tissues handy and all hold hands while you break the news...

You wont need to make any meals for the rest of the day due to the fall out from the announcement...

PS, make sure the kids dont try and smuggle booze or sharp objects to their rooms.

It's my youngest I'm most worried about. His bedroom is absolutely covered in Ian's posters.

Retirement.  Where do you suppose he will retire to? What do you think he'll do with all his free time now that he's retired?

I can't imagine the fortune he's accumulated. I'm sure his pension or annuity will cover his living expenses and now he can just rest on his laurels.

Ian, congratulations on your retirement! You earned it.

End of an era?


No.


Andrew Jacked and Michal Krizo are here, and you generate zero buzz; zero excitement. So you’re bowing out.

Could see this  coming a mile away .... his wife Melissa takes the heat for their steroid bust (she's done competing...you never see / hear her on YouTube anymore ) next Iain hasn't posted any update pics or videos or gone on any podcasts in awhile .... plus with all the new talent he's going to slip in the placings....

With the current crop of bodybuilders, Ian is a competitor who will not touch the top 6-8 in any big show so what’s the point in juicing to the gills to place 10th of 11th in a show.  His time has gone, get out now and have a family and stop dreaming about what could have been.

Writing was on the wall, his body was deteriorating, his chest/lower back were atrophied and will progressively get worse.  All the while watch guys like Lunsford, Andrew Jacked, Sampson, Hunter surpass him. He's maxed out, he's been juicing since 18, not really much more to it.

Much like many pornstars retire but seem to return a few years later. Can't resist the thongs and oil

Didn't he just win a show, some low tieredbut still.

But I'm sure it's the "neuro based atrophy" that is the reason. Calves, back, chest. They never recover.

In the early 80's I've seen so many friends throw away the pursuit of a career chasing the syringe life style. I wonder about some of them if they landed on their feet? Seemed the popular job back then was bouncer at night so they could be in the gym prior to their job.  I know one became an attorney after getting terrible grades in college when he was competing. Lost track of him and I still don't know how he did it. He's a low level attorney doing wills, closings and local court but at least he has a career.

Having a career is just cope for not having large pecs and biceps.

No muscle recovers from nerve atrophy it seems. But yeah he was topped out and younger guys are blowing past him now.

Ian has made the right choice

He went out on top. A winner. An inspiration to all of us

The sport must now figure out how to move on after the loss.
