Flex Wheeler Tan, Tested & Clean
When FLEX WHEELER announced his return to bodybuilding after a short retirement, he claimed that he would compete in the 2002 Mr. Olympia clean. To the uninitiated, that means absolutely no steroids or performance-enhancing pharmaceuticals as part of his pre-Olympia regimen. The reaction to his announcement? Laughter, disbelief, derision.
Stop laughing. The always-controversial Wheeler has put his bodily fluids where his mouth is -- although not literally, we hope. According to VICTOR CONTE, head of Balco Labs and the creator of superstar supplement ZMA, Wheeler has submitted to urine and blood analyses and has been judged spick-and-span.
It really does seem his biochemical profile is consistent with someone who has not used steroids. Said Conte, who spoke with us on October 15, "His samples have been tested by reputable laboratories and have satisfied the chain-of-custody requirements."
Having recently rubbed elbows with Wheeler, FLEX Editor-in-Chief PETER McGOUGH was impressed by the 36-year-old star's phenomenal physique: full, hard and cut, with all of Flex's trademark shapes and muscle bellies. McGough also noted Wheeler's healthy overall appearance and calm assured demeanor. "His joints are actually smaller," said McGough. "He looked better than he has in years."
