according to Swedish newspapers. Ricky was know to call news reporters in the middle of the night reading poetry he was working on, or claiming he had finally figured out the best possible way to build muscle mass and strength, or just coming up with ideas and solutions to world problems etc.. or at other times he was just manic depressed. Never in between.

He was 64, almost 65.

He's a story told on another board that made me laugh-


"He was always good for headlines and interesting articles.A couple of years ago he said that he was going to burn all his memorabilia and melt his medals.In the early ninties a swedish journalist went to interview him and Ricy opened the door weightinng 78kg.You could count the ribs and the legs looked like pie cleaners.The journalsit asked what was up and Ricky said he was seeing how long he could go while eating the same amount of food as the concentration camp inmates.
RIP Ricky "

I know a man, about Ricky's age, who trained with him for several years. I mentioned Ricky to him the other day, how there are no characters like that in Swedish powerlifting etc today, and he said he just passed away today.

There's a docummentary about him you can download. Forgot the name. Funny part where he orders a huge box of Great Earth aminos and vitamins taking hundreds of pills trying to compete without steroids. He shows this to a doctor and the doctor goes, "this stuff is worthless". I think the doc even says better go with the "other" stuff.  :D

He was a bit strange and some of his stories were pure BS. Like when he said he had to stand on his hands in the bathtub when peeing because of constant erection from steroids.  ??? :D

Here's the doc- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090027/ .

Look for it on the torrents as "The Soul is Greater Than The World" or cut and paste the Swedish title. :).
