Mr. Olympia Rages at Gold's Gym

Ronnie Coleman, who has been crowned Mr. Olympia (do they crown them??) eight times, is suing Gold's Gym for allegedly using his muscles to lure in members.

In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Coleman claims Gold's used a photo of him to advertise Gold's ... a photo that was plastered on posters.

Coleman is suing for misappropriation of image, invasion of privacy and unjust enrichment. He's seeking unspecified damages and an injunction putting the kibosh on the poster.

31. i see nothing in the article that shows that he went into a rage. if it's true that the gym used his picture without his consent, i'm sure he was upset. if so,it seems he's handling it by going the legal route. that doesn't mean he went into a rage inside the gym. as far as the the ammount of muscle he has, everyone has their own personal goals when it comes to weight lifting. he wanted to get big and win championships. others, such as myself, go to get muscle tone and maintain their fitness levels. it's a personal decision everyone who works out makes for themselves.

33. vangelo - why dont you do some research instead of jumping on the bandwagon that steroids kill people. People like you make me sick. Anabolic steroids save hundreds of thousands of lives such as cancer, aids ect people every day. Without testoserone injections they wouldnt be alive. So before you bash anabolic steroids - put down your damn cigg and beer. Because acourding to your supposed research you came opon, you failed to look up that Alcohol and Tabaco are #1 and # 3 for leading deaths in America. Hmmmm and steroids that you claim are so deadly. #124> A totoal of 3...THREE deaths from an overdose on anabolic steroids have been killed and out your 75,000 a year deaths of alcohol. Enlighten yourself before you open up your fat trap

34. Of course any of you bimbo's don't like this guy or for that fact any guy who takes care of his body. That would mean that he looks better than you and would get more attention than you. Stay covered up and keep wearing your flannel pajama's.

36. All you people are stupid....Bodybuilding is the hardest sport in the world, and instead of giving the man credit for 20 years of hard training, you would rather give him crap and say he abuses steroids...You guys have no idea what it takes to be a pro bodybuilder...So all you fat people should shut up and leave your fat asses in front of the computer, while BIg Ron goes and busts his ass at the gym for 2 hours..

Response to #16 vangelo;
Please add me and every woman that I personally know to the survey you've done. We don't like professional bodybuilders. We don't find them attractive. We find them narcissistic grotesque freaks.
We like guys with hot lean toned muscular bodies, not steroid- pumped greasy freaks.

P.S. Good luck with your medical studies at UVA and spreading the word about awful dangers of steroid use.

38. Eight time Mr Olympia you would think he would have tested positive at the least one time before people started talking about him using steroids.

39. Steroids and getting bigger are totally a "guys on steroid thing". Each one wants to be the biggest, most sculpted, most chiseled and I don't think they think about years down the line, or what could happen even today to them while they are on steroids. They are obsessed with their bodies (obviously) and getting bigger. Not much more concerns them. No one gets a body like that without hours at the gym, and steroids. "Normal" people simply don't look like that.

40. Some of you do not realize the amount of dedication it takes to reach Ronnie's level of development...Rather than put him down, why not give him credit? He accomplished HIS GOALS, not YOURS............

I bet most of you who are knocking him for his physique have no idea or dedication in achieving even the average physique..HmMMmm..

For those who are misinformed about steroids, please put in the effort and learn..Oh yea, please don't learn from the media.

For the record, STEROIDS DO NOT KILL OR HARM.......

41. 99% of females are anti-muscle within a relationship because it places the spotlight on their bodily imperfections and sends their insecurity sky-high.

Plus it's funny that these women act like a bodybuilder would give a DAMN about their opinions. Sorry, honeys, the muscle heads are banging the hot girls. And I mean the HOT girls, not the cute girl who would be hot "if she started working out" (how ironic is that phrase in this discussion?)

42. LOL! I agree..The BIGGER GUYS WITH BIGGER MUSCLES always get the hottest girls, more often than skinny guys..HMMmmmMMm....*REALITY CHECK*

I also agree that bodybuilders don't care about women's opinions BECAUSE women will still flock to them..*REALITY CHECK*

Women could say whatever they because when it comes down to it, they will choose guys with bigger muscles are much more appealing than an anorexic male model *REALITY CHECK*

*SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE*

43. I really don't think Ronnie cares whether girls go "ewwww...all that muscle is gross." Ronnie had a dream and he achieved his dream. He did not acheive his dream by caring about what others thought about him. It has taken him decades to get to where he is today. For those of you saying that this is the reason you don't go to the gym somehow have mistaken the reality that it takes work and dedication to acheive this, not just walking in and it happens over night.
