Pour ceux qui n'étaient pas au courant pour les ninjas :
On the eve of the 1997 Mr. Olympia, most felt the perennially on-form, reigning Arnold Classic champion Flex Wheeler would soundly defeat the past-his-prime five-time Olympia champ, Dorian Yates. A belief that was quickly turned on its head 48 hours out from the big event when the Sultan of Symmetry Wheeler, with left forearm and hand bandaged, claimed he had been the victim of an unsuccessful carjacking at the hands of nunchaku and gun-wielding assailants.
Though he claimed to have trounced his attackers with his formidable martial arts skills, Wheeler, a Tae Kwon Do black belt, admitted to suffering enough injuries to exclude him from the competition, a story few people bought. It has since been speculated that Wheeler was off his usual peak form and did not wish to pull out of the 1997 Olympia race due to conditioning reasons, hence the elaborately concocted carjacking story.
