They're not doctored. Mentzer did have one of the best physiques ever. In fact he was the first one to score a perfect at the Olympia if I recall correctly.
and one of my favs. he'll be missed. but i as well am not sure that ray committed suicide, i think it was stress induced, he was a very sick man lately
I was a big Mike Mentzer fan as well. I even got a chance to speak with him for about an hour at the MM2K seminar in Las Vegas.
Mike did not stay in shape after he retired from competition. Dan Duschaine commented about Mikes shape after the seminar when someone wrote the magazine claiming Mike was training for the Masters Olympia.
Mike is one of the first bodybuilders to admit steroid use. He told a magazine that he used Dianabol befor contests.
they still don't know how did ray die, it's all rumors about if he committed to suicide, but maybe
A cortesy of Flex magazine:
legendary bodybuilding competitor and writer, died suddenly Saturday, June 9, of an apparent heart attack. Mentzer’s body was discovered by his younger brother Ray Mentzer Sunday in the apartment they shared in Redondo Beach, California. Then, in a shocking development, Ray Mentzer was found dead Tuesday morning, June 12. The cause of death has not been determined as of this time.
in my opinion, Ray killed his brother by a poison that cause a sudden heart attack and he was sure that investigations will stop as his brother(Mike) is already suffering from heart disease, then Ray killed himself 3days after, lol!
