Thank you. The reason I asked is this reference in Flex:
# F 1-96 p 155 Sonny did not know how old he actually was
until birth records surfaced three weeks before this
contest [ on Sep 9, 1985Masters Olympia] and he learned he was three years older than
he had thought..
So he thought he had been born in 1956?
No, the truth is, he always knew how old he was and where and when he was born.
He didn't want to do the masters for 2 reasons.
1. He didn't want the girls to know he was over 40.
2. He thought the judges might treat him differently in the open if they knew his age.
When he turned pro, he was around 36 so we wound back the clock from day one.
