Are there no shows at all in Japan? I'd think there would be.
Hi Shelby. I did compete here before in 1997.
Let's just say it was a bit of a farce.
I was the only one drug tested - I was clean for YEARS (can't say that now ;-) )
I was about 20kg heavier than everyone else and at least as hard as anyone.
One of the promoters thought I was guest posing with Dennis Newman (nice guy BTW)
I got third...and the promoters apologized to me privately . LOL
I was the only "gaijin" in the show.
Japanese contests are for Japanese - and they won't let you forget it...
Hawaii would be my only reasonable target stateside because of flight times and lag.
