Jay Cutler and Markus Ruhl almost lost their Olympia placings after testing positive for banned dieuretics. The IFBB finally ruled that they would not lose their placings because of some technical crap. This raises some questions, why have restrictions on a few drugs when all athletes competing in the Olympia use them (not taking away anything from the alhletes I know how much hard work they put into their physiques) and why have rules and regulations on drugs if they are not reinforced.

1st place-Ronnie Coleman.
Let me start of by saying Ronnie should not be champ. The man came to Vegas looking like a water balloon. He was bloated as hell. When I first saw him on stage I thought there was no way he would win. But the moron judges proved me wrong and he took his fourth title.

2nd place-Jay Cutler
Jay was ripped as hell and had muscle to spare. He had even improved his overall symetry. I thought he would take the title.

3rd place-Kevin Levrone
Kevin looked awesome despite coming in lighter than in the past. His conditioning was great, although I do believe he gave up some of his leg size in doing so.

4th place-Shawn Ray
Shawn was Shawn, and looked pretty much the same as previous Olympias. He was a little soft, but his awesome symetry makes up for it.

5th place-Chris Cormier
This suprised a lot of people. Chris had been making comments all season about how he was gonna beat Ronnie. Chris did not come in great condition. He has the genetics to be a top 3 guy but just did'nt pull it off this year.

6th place-Orville Burke
To tell you the truth I'm not a big fan of Orville's. Although he has wide shoulders and awesome lats, I just don't see how a guy with a stomach that looks like a pregnant woman could have made top 10.

7th place-Dennis James
Dennis resembled Chris Cormier with not so great conditioning which was probably responsible for his placing.

8th place-Dexter Jackson
Dexter looked awesome. In my opinion he is the most genetically gifted bodybuilder in the world. He is also very consistent in his conditioning. I would have placed him ahead of Orville and Dennis.

9th place-Nasser El Sonbaty
Nasser was huge as usual. He had good conditioning, but could have used some deeper thigh seperations

10th place-King Kamali
King Kamali is definitely one of my favorite bodybuilders. He looked awesome. He brought the freaky hamstrings and back to the party as usual. Really all King needs is a little more size on his arms and calves and he'll have to start a trophy collection.Although he may be a few years away from being Mr. Olympia, make no doubt about it the King will be crowned in the near future.
