These two had what I feel is almost untouchable potential. Both were on the rise when they were taken out of the sport...

It's sad about Mike. But even though Jean had an accident at the gym, he still competes. He just doesn't do well. And when he was active, he wasn't doing much damage lately anyway. Mike on the other hand, that wasn't some gym f up. That was just sad. He shrunk away to almost nothing. I wonder if the high protein diet of a bodybuilder had anything to do with it. He says no, but who would want to admit they could have possibly almost ended their own life? Damn shame. I think he won the Arnold in 95.

Mike was really inspirational in the gym. I'm lucky I got to work out beside him back in the early-mid 90's. He was definitely one of the biggest and baddest, but always respectful, courteous, and supportive of everybody. I bet his personal training rocks.

Health problems forced him out of competing (that's public knowledge) - I heard a rumor that he had serious internal medicine issues.

Jean lost his balance or something while squatting and ended up underneath a shitload of plates...i remember seeing those pics in FLEX...im pretty sure his knee caps came right off and he tore every ligament in them...
