Since Kai Greene won't be competing this year, https://content.tigerfitness.com/kai-greene-banned-2015-mr-olympia/ neither will Dana Linn Bailey, http://musculardevelopment.com/contests/olympia-weekend/30475-olympia-weekend-2015/14561-dana-linn-bailey-why-i-m-not-doing-the-olympia.html#.Vfq8V9JVhBc How do you think this two big absences will affect the Competition and the Bodybuilding industry as a whole? Do you think it will have a negative impact on what people are expecting from the competition?

They are not regular competitors, they were the actual contenders to defeat the current champions. This year is gonna be interesting... SCPO David Lockwood

Apparently Kai wanted to get the entry fees waived because he was going to debut a product there. I think DLB is taking time off to have a life for a bit. I follow DLB & Rob Bailey on FB. They seems to be enjoying their time off!

I follow them on IG and they look like they are trying to impact people in a more direct way, which is inspiring at the same time. In the bodybuilding business a year out of Mr. O can doom your career. I know there's a lot left for Greene and Bailey. SSgt (Join to see)

I think Dana is still training just as hard. They are ALWAYS in the gym. I know the girl that won it last year, Rob said himself that she was going to run the show for some time.
I don't think Kai would've won this year, but he's always up there. Apparently this was a dispute between Kai's agent & the promotion where the agent wanted Mr O to waive the entry fee & display Kai's product front & center. The promoter countered w/ "pay the entry fee & get a space like everyone else." They came to a 'mexican standoff' where no one budged & Mr O won out cuz, well, they run the show.

SSgt (Join to see) I think DLB had a lot on her plate this year and she wasn't focused on Olympia. American Ninja Warrior, their clothing brand and tours make it harder to concentrate in the type of preparation these elite athletes need.
For KG, every year he is 2nd and I really really want to see Roden getting his shot.

Mr. Olympia 2015, who's your bet this year? | RallyPoint
With less than a week left for the 2015 Mr. Olympia, the BIG 3 are back, Heath, Green and Roden are expected to hit the first 3 places (probably in that same order). Personally I would love to see Roden winning, but I don't think this will be his here. He has gained a lot of mass in the off season, can't wait to see what he's bringing to the stage this year. Green and Heath are the Cutler and Coleman of the 2010's, let's say that Roden is...
