    He suffered a patellar tendon rupture ... On Fri.. He had surgery and docs are optimistic he will fully recover .... Docs said it is too early to discuss about him and the 2008 MR O ( so close to post op ) ....

    I talked to him last night. He is in so much pain the last thing on his mind is the Olympia. All he is thinking about is getting better. On a side note, he asked me to hook him up with a PS3. He needs something to do while he heals.

    I have felt terrible pain before when lunging to stretch. It felt like I was gonna tear something in my knee and I backed off real quick. Lucky I didn't do anything, but I can only imagine how much that had to hurt -.- Hope he recovers quickly.

    i highly doubt wolf will place ahead of martinez in any comps for a few years, the politics of the judges wouldnt allow for it.

    if martinez fully recovers, he might be able to win the 08 olympia, or the judges might give cutler another hand out and then let martinez win in 09.

    wolf will be in the top 3 pretty quick though

    Damn, tought break. Making it to this years Olympia might be pushing it but I would not be surprised to hear Martinez is doing the "O". He knows where he stands at the "O" and that alone is enough motivation for him to get back on track ASAP.

    I think he would be better off skipping the O and making sure he's fully recovered. Why rush and risk reinjury or step on stage not at 100%. I asked him about it and he said it's not on his mind right now. All he is thinking about is recovering.

    Tough break for Victor, timing couldn't be worst. Wolf is looking amazing, But Jay will be in there, You really have to take the "o" away from the champ, they don't like change.

    he would win the arnold since he won it last year, i would be more skeptical about him winning the o in 08 due to the politics of the judging
