The highly intelligent man with a master’s degree who could fluently speak 7 languages, earning the nickname “The Professor”, was a mystery to everyone around him. The 5’11”, 280-pound mass monster presented a physique that threatened to collapse the stage every time he stepped on it, making his way from being just another shapeless monster from Europe, into serious Mr. Olympia contention. Once tipped for Olympia glory, he soon became far more well-known as a broken man, haunted by the bitterness of a single loss that -to this day- is still considered one of the most outrageous robberies in bodybuilding history, one that signalled his tragic downfall. Rather than retire into a life of guest-posing stints and seminars, Nasser chose to open fire against everyone whom he thought had wronged him, from officials and judges to fellow competitors, before resorting to selling his used gym clothes and posing trunks online towards the end of his dying career. This is the tragic robbery and the devastating demise of Nasser El Sonbaty. 🎙Interviews & podcasts: https://youtu.be/XPOz2u4Mf-A?si=j8gNUEskVeVGdom4 https://youtu.be/llXwcfKXPWY?si=6mCxRZUFlsmmzuRe https://youtu.be/3Lnfne7rG3s?si=Tko4LgkGY1079qJc https://youtu.be/piYrmJSw5IU?si=ru5iKLHOj4ULQuSz https://youtu.be/5JRL2Gsn9GA?si=X7VF9wmFoWPg9-_G https://youtu.be/B-_5Zqx4v-k?si=PCnmW44sBDX483CI https://youtu.be/8Eiy3XvDS3g?si=s-3TtqC_E_qIg18a https://youtu.be/tCSgigzrJHw?si=IoDoUELqXYfZ9b6S https://youtu.be/s0X1FmZfMWA?si=svd2hKRl8WcslGtl https://youtu.be/bzbpbstJI3g?si=XHVhE-0jfKAzBXiD https://youtu.be/Svs5bxcdZ_0?si=ZKODZCART1vobeeR https://youtu.be/li7iY6g2Qdc?si=pU-PnxV-2507qQqj https://youtu.be/1VYiW-yMoyI?si=RIeeBIEN3B5PDNpk https://youtu.be/3ETGfQM6NRI?si=vutNeRJp-M56KBN0 https://youtu.be/MMsLKKw7d8k?si=pE6ih0Uo0Vlv5PNd https://youtu.be/5JDFIpTm278?si=5Z6AjobJQICZLC7g https://youtu.be/RnmYFLcikKQ?si=e7LlzgjOsPTswgtS https://youtu.be/uwP7zqwdSoc?si=mO8_hpR9jIWtEHuL https://youtu.be/bNtiTjUqHcE?si=RDOBJDiNoTiXh9d2 https://youtu.be/4m_7f-xeguM?si=lrZqlHI2yvgP131v https://youtu.be/9QxN8gatHLc?si=bjRSrEbuFt3UhUEu 📰 Other sources: https://pastebin.com/7gYUWW8j 🎬 Chapters: 00:00 - Large & In Charge 00:53 - The Enigma 02:17 - The Disinterested Bodybuilder 03:19 - Growing Passion 04:53 - Incogni 06:27 - The Professor 07:57 - Breaking Through 08:26 - 1994 Mr. Olympia 09:29 - Rising Through the Ranks 10:35 - 1995 Mr. Olympia 11:29 - Rigged? 12:00 - 1996 Mr. Olympia 14:45 - Blood, Guts & Injuries 15:44- The Challengers 16:51 - 1997 Mr. Olympia 18:57 - Nasser won? 19:42 - Dorian Won? 20:39 - The Greatest Robbery 22:12 - Friends In High Places 23:43 - 1998 Mr. Olympia 24:48 - The Last Hurrah 25:22 - Synthol Use 26:28 - Sounds like 0nlyfans with extra steps 26:54 - The Downfall 28:26 - The Media Crusade 29:22 - Got Juice? 30:22 - A Lonely Sport Affiliate disclaimer: This description may contain affiliate links, which means if you click it, find something you like and buy it, I'll be making a teeny tiny bit of money at no extra charge to you, hell, you even get a discount by using my links! 🤭
