Chris Bumstead, who recently won the title of Mr. Olympia Classic Physique, was going through a bit of an identity crisis. There were rumors after having acquired the title for the fifth time, it was now time for the reigning Mr. Olympia to take off and live his personal life, retiring from the sport. 

His announcement about the pregnancy with his girlfriend added more value to the racket. However, none of this was true. This was a classic case of identity theft. Yes, it’s the same plague Dwight Schrute had once warned us about. CBum’s his brother-in-law, Iain Valliere, who recently retired from bodybuilding, has spilled the beans about the fake news.
