Her rival, <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/sarah-villegas\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"sarah-villegas\">Sarah Villegas<\/a>, insisted that a Brazilian doctor contacted her with <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/sarah-villegas-husband-addresses-pmma-controversy\/\">confidential information about Coelho\u2019s PMMA<\/a> (permanent synthetic plastic filler) procedures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Villegas <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/sarah-villegas-fires-shots-at-natalia-coelho\/\">labeled Coelho the new \u2018OIL-ympia\u2019 champion<\/a>.

All of those guys, they lost the muscle in their calves. Something happened where the muscle got atrophied, and shit like that. So, yes, I think they are talking about it. I think social media, newspapers now, USA Today, and New York Times, they are asking\u2026 I think we need the sport to stay clean, in my opinion.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He said the IFBB Pro League was more strict when he was competing, and looked back on being disqualified from an Arnold Classic contest along with <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/shawn-ray\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"shawn-ray\">Shawn Ray<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYes, I did [talk to them]. They just asked me questions. What do I think of this happening in the sport? I told them, I said, one time, I competed at the Arnold Classic, and I got caught using Masteron at the time, and you know, but Masteron wasn\u2019t a muscle filler and things like that, but the Arnold Classic that year, they decided to do it naturally. You know who got caught? Me and Shawn Ray, we got disqualified.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the IFBB were more strict back in the day. I\u2019m pretty sure Jimmy would not allow the monkey business to take place,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6cEENHQWlkM&amp;t=3090s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">adds <\/a>Bannout. \u201cI hope to see the IFBB get more strict about these things, seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 id=\"bannout-praises-joseph-baenas-natural-pro-debut\">Bannout Praises Joseph Baena\u2019s Natural Pro Debut<\/h3>\n<p>Bannout also assessed Baena\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/joseph-baena-top-5-at-pro-natural-bodybuilding-contest\/\">latest top-five finish<\/a> at the Pro AM Natural World Cup. He thought he deserved bronze but got overlooked:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s making clean gains. He could have been slightly fuller, in my opinion,\u201d Bannout shared. \u201cHe looked great, don\u2019t take me wrong, but sometimes, I judge the fullness of the body by the neck. When your neck is small, that means you\u2019re more on the flat side, but yeah, I could see all the detail on his body.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe show was difficult. It wasn\u2019t an easy show. It wasn\u2019t like a walk in the park. I saw some guys, they were really, really shredded,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to say this, you know me, I don\u2019t kiss ass to nobody, but I think Joe deserved third. I think being Arnold\u2019s son, they were too tough on him, in my opinion.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The greatest bodybuilders of all time aren\u2019t staying quiet.
