 As has been widely reported, Charlie Rose made a terrible faux pas
during his annual New Year's Eve tribute on PBS to important people who
died in 2008 when he included filmmaker George Butler among the dead.
Butler's best known film is Pumping Iron, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger during his bodybuilding days.

 For years one would hear stories of bodybuilders experimenting with drugs from Dan Duchaine to Arnold Schwarzeneger. They used it for various reasons such as pain management, speed in recovery, depression, etc. One of the most dangerous and addictive drugs in the bodybuilding world is/was Nubain. Highly addictive, it was used to deal with managing the pain after a strenuous workout or in some instances, to manage pain during a workout. Some even took the opioid to a new level by mixing them with crystal meth to take the edge off.
Fortunately for some but not others, the manufacturing of Nubain has been stopped. The profit margins for producers were too small.

 Going into the 2008 Olympia, that is not the word
combination any of us thought would have been uttered last night. We
were expecting things like, "Oh, Jay won again." Or, any combination
thereof, but hey, "Dexter won!"
Coming into the Olympia, all we
heard was how Jay was 100% on. Even Bob Chicerillo claimed this is the
best he has ever seen Jay. (Maybe Bob doesn't know much about
bodybuilding as he used to.) Jay had a lot to live up to especially
with last years controversial win. Going into this Olympia the
reverberations of what occurred last year could still be felt.

 We were lucky enough to be allowed the opportunity to speak with and interview Daniel Stuckart - Trey Brewer's nutritionost.
In short, many folks thought Trey would not be able to lose the weight and compete at the 2008 Jr. Nationals. On the contrary, after 16 weeks of dieting, Trey's metabolism kicked into over drive and Daniel did everything he could do to keep Trey from losing too much weight.
