Franco Columbu Highlight Video

00Rooster4Life00 presents a tribute to Franco Columbu . Columbu was born in Ollolai, Sardinia. Starting out his athletic career as a boxer, Columbu progressed into the sport of Olympic Weightlifting, powerlifting and later bodybuilding, winning the title of Mr. Olympia in 1976 and 1981. At 5 feet and 5 inches in height (some magazines reported as short as 5′3″), Columbu is shorter than most of his bodybuilding competitors, but that did not prevent him from achieving widespread success.

During the Refrigerator race, with Franco ahead, suddenly he stumbled, and national television showed Franco’s leg becoming grotesquely dislocated and he collapsed. That ended his participation in the World’s Strongest Man contest. (In the end, he finished fifth place. He also received a reported $1 million in compensation for his injury).[1] It took 6 hours of surgery to remove all the muscle and fix his leg.

    One thing is for sure. Using STEROIDS is CHEATING. Whether it’s dangerous or not. Whether it’s illegal or not. Whether people talk about it or not. Whether people admit to it or not. STEROIDS are a DISGRACE towards ALL sports and anyone who defends them is a COWARD.

    The STEROID CHEATERS like to keep “silent” about the STEROIDS that made them bigger and stronger. Then they want to say that it’s not CHEATING, lol…
