Like I said in another thread that got deleted... Rusty looked awesome for any bodybuilding show, period. There would've been little disagreement if he'd won the whole thing.
You could argue that Bob Chick was in better condition than Rusty, because judging from the pics, he was. I honestly believe Chick deserved to win, although it was certainly not a landslide victory by any means.
But putting Jeffers in 8th place? It sure looks like the powers-that-be were trying to send him some kind of message. Exactly what the message was isn't so clear, but come on!! He looked way better than most of the guys who placed higher than him.
