Yea it seems like a thankless sport for most -- for ex, the Mr Olympia prize is $100K. I heard Ronnie spends $100K in doctors & roids alone. Who's buying all his big macs? Ok well, he's got a job as a cop. (Ahem) But he does get endorsements. I hope he's got a good financial manager so he's got money socked away for his medical bills when he hits 50.
BTW caveat on anything that starts w/ "I heard....", but still there's a very seedy underside to the BB industry.
