It is obvious to all in the bodybuilding community that he is a freak, and no he doesn't really represent us well. However, he did what he set out to do. He gained recognition and got publicity. Yes, he is a circus freak, but would we even know who he was if he hadn't become what he is. Speaking of that, does anybody read his column in MD? I think it's interesting, because he doesn't sugar coat anything and admits how stupid he is for doing what he has done to his body. He seems to be a pretty real guy actually, which surprised the hell out of me.
