Maybe California's "Governator" can come out of retirement?!

Over this past week, many rumors have been flying about in the fitness industry over many of the "regular" competitors who are tired of the IFBB judging, and that may NOT compete in this year's Mr Olympia. Here is the short list:

1. Lee Priest (since Twinlab is now bankrupt, his contract forcing him to compete is suspended.)
2. Markus Ruhl
3. Flex Wheeler (which I figured last year, since he's gone clean.)
4. Craig Titus
5. And the biggest suprise - Kevin Levrone! Especially since he took 2nd last year!

There are more, but I figured I'd limit it to 5. I know they have been really making the comp between Schielerkamp and Cutler out to be the battle royal; and I'm still waiting to hear that Coleman is retireing before the O. But, sheesh, who is going to be left!!??

Maybe none of them can afford the escalating amounts of steroids they have to do to be bigger every year.

I've been out of this for too long. Twinlabs is bankrupt? Where can I read more about this?

I'm cheering for Gunter or Jay. I'm tired of seeing Coleman win based on being the incumbent!
