| If you read everything over the past couple of years. Ronnie never once gave Jay credit, he even stated that Victor Martinez would be the next "O" when he retired. I honestly believe that was Ronnie's way of saying "Jay ain't shit" without actually saying it. Sometimes its not what you say, its what you don't say. To that effect, he has always ignored Jay's presence, and this time it bit him in his shredded ass!! LOL Jay has always handled everything like a champ.
I listened to Bodybuilding Radio the other night and Ronnie actually tried to give away his Silver Olympia Medal to an expediter. It took Lee Haney, and his ex, Vickie Gates both to talk some sense into him.
Ronnie also blew of the post Olympia press conference the next morning, the same conference that Jay has always attended even though he lost.
I am sure Ronnie was devastated, afterall he was the best in the world for 8 years, and within a 24 hour his 8 year reign was over. However, he could have showed more respect for those who have respected him over the years (namely Jay). Jay has said all the way up to the show and including at the Athletes meeting that Ronnie is the greatest of all time. Jay's professionalism and Ronnies being a sore loser combined make this whole thing seem worse than it is.
What you have is a New Olympia with a great attitude, and an 8 time Olympia who has forgotten how to handle defeat.
