Last weekend Shawn Rhoden shocked a majority of the bodybuilding fans and media by winning the IFBB PBW Tampa Pro. I was equally shocked a few days ago when I found out his sponsor, QNT, decided to drop him.
From the reports I’ve heard, QNT is claiming that they aren’t able to market Shawn in a correct fashion. In this tough economic climate, it’s not that surprising to hear about athletes getting dropped from supplement companies, but that scenario rarely occurs after an athlete wins a contest. I was trying to remember the last athlete that was dropped following a win, let alone their first pro win... and I came up with nothing. Compound that with the fact that Shawn is the odds-on favorite to win again in Dallas this weekend and you might really be left scratching your head!
With both Jay Cutler and Victor Martinez sitting out of this year’s Olympia, many have predicted that Rhoden may, in fact, crack the top 6. I know that if I owned a supplement company, I would be sending Rhoden a special invitation to use my products!
