Mr. Olympia is one of the biggest bodybuilding competitions. Naturally, owing to the massive fan following, keeping a lookout for the contestants’ security is of utmost importance. However, despite the top-tier security, Jesse James West impersonating the 4x Mr. Olympia, Chris Bumstead, managed to get through the gates.

CBum was among the most anticipated bodybuilders at the event. So for someone to breach the security and be able to reach the contestant was a result of the lapse in security or something entirely different? Who was this impostor, after all?
