What ever Happened to victor Richards?

[Gymratforlife]

So many bodybuilders from when I was a kid disappeared of the face of the planet. Mike Mattarazzo is another one I have never heard off or seen again. Mattarazzo and Demayo where the first pros I ever saw up close when I was around 16 and racked weights for a living at Worlds gym in Lawrence Massachusetts.

Vic Richards was also one of the "freaks" I use to follow when I was a kid! I would love to have seen him at Mr. O.

I too was very inspired by Mike "Big Guns" Matarazzo and Paul "Quadzilla" Demayo. Mike had got the crowd to their feet. Both have good reasons for not being seen alot lately. Demayo passed away in 2005.(R.I.P). Matarazzo had open heart surgery to repair a clogged artery I believe. I'm not one to believe everything the media puts out but they are saying that Big Mazz is blaming his passion for bodybuilding. The way he ate and the drugs he used.
