by Derek Lunsford coach Chris Aceto has dismissed the rumor about the recent Mr. Olympia winner as “ridiculous” and “a lie”.
A photographer visiting a German podcast said based on his own observations that Lunsford “almost died” backstage before his competition performance. According to the podcast claim, the American bodybuilder suffered from such severe cramps that he had to relieve them while lying on the floor.
According to the story, the situation was saved by a bodybuilder colleague who offered water William Bonac.
– I can tell you that Derek didn’t cramp from anything. He had no cramp in his chest, shoulders, extensors, biceps, legs, abs, nowhere, Aceto wall sconce on the Heavy Muscle Radio podcast.
The coach believes that the argument has been started by Lunsford’s panic attack.
– I thought that he must be worried a lot when he asked me to come backstage. When I arrived I realized he was suffering from more anxiety this time.
Aceto says the scene went away by talking.
After checking the basics, he concluded that Lunsford’s health is not in danger.
– His pupils were not dilated, he was not sweating. His blood pressure was not high. Blood sugar, which tells about many things, was also 100% normal.
For Lunsford, who received a professional card in 2017, the Olympic victory was the second in his career.
