Jose Canseco Called “Juicer” at the Arnold Expo

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Former baseball player and anabolic steroid advocate Jose Canseco was hired as a spokesman for a supplement company appearing at the company’s booth at the 2008 Arnold Classic. Testosterone Nation reports that Canseco is working with MVP Nutrition since he spent so much time talking to world fitness champion Michele Levesque.

So, you admit to using steroids. Then a supplement company hires you to say you built your muscles using their pills and powders? Um, okay. Canseco seemed to spend most of his time macking on the hired booth booty anyway.

But Jose Canseco actually works for German American Technologies, makers of Jet Fuel. Oops. Perhaps, GAT should consider hiring some attractive booth help to keep Jose from straying and inadvertently promoting the competition?

However, the most humorous anecdotes involving Canseco at the Arnold Classic involve the comments he received from Expo attendees (”iWitness: Arnold Sports Festival,” March 6):

[B]oth at the EXPO and the after-party, people kept walking by yelling “juicer!” and “steroid user!” at Canseco. Uh, you’re at the Arnold. Calling someone a juicer here is like walking into a porn convention and calling the women sluts. It’s, you know, kinda the whole idea.

How could they be oblivious to be surrounding by thousands upon thousands of anabolic steroid users the entire weekend? With over 150,000 people attending the Arnold Sports Festival, including a significant percentage of bodybuilders and athletes who use steroids, this event probably holds the record for the highest concentration of steroid users in a single location!

Another Reason the Arnold Classic Weekend Should Not Be in Columbus

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

The 2008 Arnold Classic and Arnold Sports Festival was a huge success this year. Yet, all weekend I heard people complain about having to travel to Columbus, Ohio in February for the event. In addition to complaints about the weather, professional bodybuilding, the cornerstone of the Arnold Classic Weekend, is given short thrift by the local media. Take a look at the local newspaper, the Columbus Dispatch, where some of the most prominent pro bodybuilders in the sport are misidentified. Shawn Ray is identified as Kevin Levrone and Vince Taylor is identified as Ronnie Coleman. (The error has now been corrected in the online version of the article.)
