I’ve had a lot of requests for a more in-depth presentation of Mike Mentzer’s recollections of what went on behind the scenes at the infamous 1980 Mr. Olympia contest. Mike was the one competitor who was not afraid to speak out about the corruption that he believed took place and, consequently, bodybuilding journalists (from Peter McGough, to Bill Phillips to yours truly) always felt compelled to ask him about it. In this video, Mike tells the story of the infamous competitors’ meeting in which he almost came to blows with Arnold, the results of the contest itself, the parties he believed to be responsible for the black eye that the results gave to the sport of bodybuilding (CBS Sports flew halfway around the world to cover the event, but then refused to broadcast it afterwards), a rumour about Arnold that Joe Weider shared with Mike (which I stress was only a rumour and Joe's opinion), and the trouble Mike got into for speaking out in his seminars about what really occurred.
