Rado, you should go to the show. Best show in bodybuilding and its in your back yard.

[Bouncer]

Well it seems that Hidetada Yamagishi wont be competing.

Flexonline broke the story about Hidetada being arrested a while before Christmas at Los Angeles’ LAX airport for possession of controlled substances. According to Flexonline, he is still in custody and could be released on bail in a few days. As seen in the document below, bail is set for $180,000 and his next court date is January 8, 2008.

After this news the official Arnold Classic competitor list was updated and Hidetada’s name was removed. Who might take his place???

[Timma]

that guy is a pro at 220.....

I think they made a mistake with that. He looks way bigger than 220 unless he's like 5'2".

[Gator_Mclusky]

Nobody seems to stand out like in the70s 80s and 90s IMO.......There were so many household names in those decades in the fitness community.
