“So, what happened was, he had food poisoning, went to the hospital last night, was violently ill, and got treated, got clearance,” a journalist at the show informed. “This is coming from his wife, Brandy. I saw the text exchanges sent to someone, who I know and got clearance from the doctor to compete stating that whatever he was dealing with, is not going to affect his health in terms of competing,” Ron Harris stated.

Earlier, Harris broke the sad news of Brandon Curry not participating in Mr. Olympia 2023 after attending the Mr. Olympia press conference in Orlando.

But his latest affirmation of Curry’s presence on the stage gives a sense of relief among bodybuilding fans who are already bummed with their favorite Nick Walker being unable to make it to the show this time.

Nick Walker will not participate in 2023 Mr. Olympia

Every year, the bodybuilding fever takes over the community during the Joe Weider’s Mr. Olympia weekend. However, when everything was going fine this year, Nick Walker backed out from the show at the eleventh hour. The Mutant tore his hamstring and decided he would not compete for the Sandow trophy this year.

Last year’s Top 3 placing of Walker at the Mr. Olympia championship ignited the imaginations of fans who were confident of him winning the show, but fate had other plans.

“There was just no shot of us placing top three at this point,” the 29-year-old confessed in an emotional Instagram video.
