Victor out of the Arnold Classic
by Ron Harris
It's official. Due to his current circumstances, Victor Martinez will be unable to compete at the Arnold Classic now just over ten weeks away. Victor's next hearing will not take place until January 6. Even if he had been able to get out in time for Christmas, there would have been insufficient time to properly prepare.
"Normally I like to have at least twelve weeks to get ready for a show," he told me via telephone last night. "Since I've already been in here twelve weeks with no access to weights or quality food with high protein, it would take me a good six to eight weeks to regain the muscle I've lost and get back to feeling normal before I started a contest prep."
As far as his case goes, Victor was enthused to tell me a new liaison had been appointed to him recently. He described this man's position as being similar to a District Attorney, but for Immigration cases rather than criminal.
"Unlike the last guy, he actually came by to talk to me for a few minutes and let me know he would be reviewing my case in detail," he said. The man also let him know that he's seen many immigrants get probation for offenses less serious than those that have Victor currently under review for deportation.
Victor was not happy about his current situation, but he seems to be adapting. "I lost my restaurant, and now the landlord is suing me," he informed me. "I almost feel safer in here, except that I want to get out to be with my kids."
Victor is staying busy corresponding with fans and reading. Right now he is working on Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper and A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Martinez wanted to thank all his loyal fans for their support in this trying time, and to let us all know he's far from done. "I will compete again, mark my words," he said. "This whole situation makes me so hungry to just go back to what I love doing, training and competing as a professional bodybuilder. I don't know how long I will be in here or what the final outcome will be, but I will be back and better than ever."

It's such bullchit how they can hold him like that and basically force him to lose his restaurant + gains. Those things are his LIFE, they are so vital...

If everything gets sorted, he should not have trouble gaining back the muscle. At least that is what I think.

When he's retired, Victor will have enough material for the greatest bodybuilding autobiography ever.
We're dodging more ninjitsu attacks than Flex Wheeler. We're ducking more bullets than George Farah. We're facing more death than a kid leg pressing at Branch Warren's gym.
You can't stop us. You can't hold us back.
IFBB brahs über alles.

I wish him all the best.
It's the diet, training and sleeping on a regular consistent basis that makes a champion.

Some of you are pathetic, oh so just because he has a restaurant and muscular they shouldn't be aloud to lock him up... because thats his life, Im sure that would be a fair society. Hes clearly been locked up for a reason and he shouldn't thought about this and sorted out his immigration status before he was leaving and re-entering the system.Originally Posted by MyBodyIsRdy420
No hate to the fella im actually a fan of his physique and him as a bodybuilder, but it doesn't mean he cant do anything wrong, which in some of your guys eyes is the way you see it.

^ agree isn't well known if you don't renew your green card, and you have a criminal past your in crap? He lives, works and has a family there in America, why not make sure you get everything sorted out?
Why did he lose his restaurant? Didn't he have money for the rent etc? Couldn't someone have transferred the money for him etc? Or was he in debt?
Just because he can't open his restaurant doesn't mean he would lose it.
His getting sued for breaking lease agreements?

Not a Vic fan but here's hoping he get's out come January. Be awesome if he came back and took the Olympia, Rocky Balboa style.....
''There’s this battle over waterboarding at places like Guantanamo Bay. I think that they should just say, “Hey, if you guys don’t talk, you have to see Hercules In New York.” I guarantee those guys would talk much faster. You don’t need to do waterboarding or anything else. That’s the ultimate threat.''

Nice positive thinking. He might just do that."I will compete again, mark my words," he said. "This whole situation makes me so hungry to just go back to what I love doing, training and competing as a professional bodybuilder. I don't know how long I will be in here or what the final outcome will be, but I will be back and better than ever.""nice great work man your site should be a primary reference for bbing vids" -KevinSorbo

Vic has had hands down one of the hardest/unluckiests lives
1)Gets caught dealing drugs (say what you will morally, its very unlucky)
2)Shafted at 2007 Mr. Olympia
3)Leg injury
4)Sister murdered
5)Gets detained
6)Loses restaurant
7)Now is getting sued
And I get pissed when I break the yolk of my eggs. Really puts life into perspective.Frustrated at bodybuilding? Read my rant:
