You're right.  He didn't seem to think much of wrestling either.  I'm thinking unresolved issues.

It's incredibly stupid, in that very special IOC kind of way.  Modern pentathlon stays in--of course, because Jaun Antonio Samaranch is the head of that sports governing body.  The head of FILA (the wrestling governing body) has no major connections on the IOC, so wrestling gets screwed.  Or maybe there was just a giant bag of cash involved somewhere--which is so often the case when anything screwy happens with the Olympics.
 
On the other hand, rhythmic gymnastics stays in, which I view as a good thing no matter what Buddha might think.

By getting really fat, yes.  But if it's mostly muscle, the guy is definitely juicing.  It is flat-out impossible to pack on that much muscle in a few months.

One can easily add pounds during the offseason without performance enhancers.

35 pounds over the winter?  How juiced is he?  The 50-game suspension can't be far away.

ITEM
 Mariners shortstop prospect Nick Franklin has bulked up by adding an additional 35 pounds this offseason.
Spin: Franklin reported to camp last year at 6'1 and 180 pounds, and the organization wanted him to bulk up over the winter. He hit .287/.358/.430 with six homers and 16 steals across three levels in 2012, and could see significant time with the Mariners in 2013 with only Robert Andino blocking his path.

WINNER

Riptorns. Plan to retain minor leaguers instead of overpaid, overstuffed veterans gets major boost with rising star Nick Franklin (5-R), sure to be key cog in Mariners wheel of fortune.

LOSER

Red Hots. Will have to be satisfied with keeping only Ackley as Andino has no future in Seattle's keystone combo.
