C'est vraiment triste. C'était l'un des plus massif! Il aura marqué l'histoire du body par sa masse gigantesque: 130 kg en compétion.

Insuffisance rénale à priori (à confirmer)

R.I.P Nasser , les BB des années 90 tombe comme des mouches maintenant

R.I.P Un grand bodybuilder

rip

Avec tout ses décès ont peu commencer a faire des statistiques sur l'espérance de vie moyenne d'un Bodybuilder pro .
Tout sa est vraiment triste .

oh non nasser c'étai un phenomene le pauvre paix a son ame

Ça c'est la faute des juges.... Quand tu vois des mecs pas doué, avec des muscles plus que bizarres comme Ben paluski et qui finissent 2 ieme juste pour la masse c'est bien triste. Il faut revenir à des belles lignes et peut être même avec un peu moins de sèche. Après quand on a vu des physiques à 130 kg es ce qu on a envi de les voir à 110 kg je sais pas ????? C'est une réflexion ....

c'etait un grand bodybuilder une nouvelle vraiment triste
repose en paix nasser

48 ans. Insuffisance rénale dit on. Une conséquence directe du mode de vie "bodybuilder" année 90" ?
Les suppositions vont nourrir les forums pendant quelques temps.
Et on ne saura sans doute jamais la vérité.

Mais vu l'état des stars actuelles du milieu, je serais tenter de penser que ce genre d'annonces va augmenter dans les prochaines années.

Ou peut être ne suis je qu'un vieux con qui rejette un peu trop la société actuelle.

Bref, je lui souhaite un bon voyage dans l'autre monde à supposer qu'il existe.

vivre son sport à vitesse grand V pour en mourir à 40 ans, je pense qu'il n'y a que les intéressés (donc les sportifs eux-mêmes) qui peuvent répondre

mais c'est vrai que c'est bien triste et comme dit mon prédécesseur, qui aimerait des bodybuilders moins massifs, nous poussons nous meme à voir des mecs disproportionnés à éclore, le plus vite possible et donc, une carrière éphémère

Nasser El Sonbaty, who passed away March 20, aged 47, was a bodybuilding one-off: A maverick who trod an individual path through his chosen sport.

Born in Stuttgart, Germany, Nasser’s father was Egyptian and his mother was from Yugoslavia (now Serbia). Throughout his contest career he insisted that he be billed as representing Yugoslavia.

SLOW ASCENT
Most guys who crack the Olympia top six on five occasions, as Nasser did, rise pretty fast through the pro ranks. Nasser didn’t. His pro career started inauspiciously in 1990, and the first occasion I saw him was at the 1991 Night of Champions where he finished out of the top 14. The winner was Dorian Yates and on that day if someone had said the Yugoslavian behemoth would eventually threaten Yates’ Olympia reign, they would have been told, “Yeah, and one day Arnold Schwarzenegger will be Governor of California.”

Two third places in 1993 at the French and German Grand Prixs signaled that the 270 pounder was on the move, and 1994 was a breakthrough year when he finished second to Mike Francois at the Night of Champions and seventh in his first Olympia. By now he had moved to San Diego and I got to know him quite well as he came into the Weider offices in LA regularly. I found him to be a thoughtful and well-educated individual; he had graduated from the University of Augsburg, Germany in 1992 with degrees in History, Political Science and Sociology. He was unafraid to laugh at himself and the “crazy world” of bodybuilding he inhabited. In fact most of the time the conversations would be non-bodybuilding. In the offseason he would, at 315 pounds, come into Weider HQ clad in shorts and casual shirt and as he made his way down the corridors, heads with WTF expressions would pop out of offices to stare in bulging eye fashion at this walking cartoon.

FLEX used to have a section called The Big Picture in which bodybuilders would pick their favorite books, cars and give out other trivia not connected with gym work. Nasser, alone, absolutely refused to do it. He would say, “I won’t answer stupid questions. Nobody wants to know what my favorite movie is.”

RISE AND FALL
In 1995 he won the Night of Champions and Houston Pro and was third in the Olympia and was seen as maybe the biggest threat to Yates, who he could match on size and weight. Although that golden generation of ‘90s bodybuilders weren’t exactly bosom buddies they did hang out together backstage and on European tours. Nasser was different; he seemed to prefer his own company and although classed as a loner he never seemed lonely.

Testing for diuretics took place at the 1996 Mr. Olympia staged in Chicago and at the athletes meeting 48 hours before the contest Nasser excused himself about three times to use the rest room. As he came back for the final time he brushed past me, shot me an impish grin and said, “Yes, I know what you’re thinking. The answer is yes.” On the night of the contest he was placed third, but 48 hours later when the test results came back his sample was found to be positive and he was disqualified. He told me, “I gambled and lost. But I’m not going to cry about it. I can’t -- the diuretics make that impossible.”

At the 1997 Olympia he was runner-up with many in attendance thinking he had ended Yates Sandow run. At the 1998 Arnold his 280 pounds finished second to Flex Wheeler’s 224 pounds, and I found myself writing, “Standing next to each other, Flex looked like Nasser’s lunch.”

With the 1998 Olympia title being up for grabs due to Yates’ retirement, Nasser had great hopes of taking over as bodybuilding’s top man, but Ronnie Coleman spoiled that party and the previous year’s runner-up was third. A few months later he won the 1999 Arnold but that sixth pro victory really was the last hurrah for one of the most enigmatic characters to ever liven up the bodybuilding landscape. His physique and results fell away and his last contest was 14th place at the 2005 Europa Supershow.

As his standings faltered there were accusations that he used synthol in his delts and one time he was hospitalized for an infection in that area. He brushed it off as a “Staph infection,” and also cited “scar tissue” as the cause. Years later he did admit he used Esiclene. During that long – sad to watch -- deteriorating winter of his career Nasser was often asked if he had any thoughts of retiring. He would, respond,” I’m tired of being asked that stupid question. I don't know. Do you know when you're going to retire? Or when you're going to die? Or when you're going to have children? When I know I'm going to retire, I'll announce it, but until then, I don't know."

After the end of his career Nasser became increasingly critical and bitter over the years about the structure of bodybuilding, and how he felt he had not been given his just desserts. It was not an opinion I shared, and he knew it.

THE LAST TIME
It was March 3, 2006, in Columbus Ohio, the night before that year’s Arnold Classic. I found myself in the bar of the Westin Hotel with Nasser. He sipped on a diet coke and I nursed a Johnnie Walker Black. We spoke for maybe three hours and reminisced about former years and discussed many non-bodybuilding subjects. The evening was free of tension and rancor.



That was the last occasion we spoke; we never had any more contact. It was an enjoyable evening when I re-united with the old – which is to say the young – Nasser. A Nasser eager to share a joke and ready to find humor amid the unpredictable world of bodybuilding. The Nasser of that evening is the one I will remember. Rest in peace, my friend.

NASSERTIONS - The Things He Said
On Shawn Ray: “He should apply for a job at Fed-Ex because he tells everyone he has the perfect package.”


On Paul Dillett: “I call him The Great Plains, due to all the wide open spaces on his physique.”


On gurus: “If a bodybuilder finishes first, he screams ‘I won’. If they lose they say, ‘My guru screwed me up.’”

On genetics: “In bodybuilding, genetics is key. You can give a Greyhound exactly the same amount of steroids as you give a Rottweiler, but the Rottweiler will always be bigger and more massive than the greyhound.”

On training partners: “I never believed in having the crutch of a permanent training partner to urge me on. When I was studying at the University of Augsburg there was no-one standing over me screaming, ‘Come on Nasser, one more book!’”



Nasser avait une grande gueule certains l'aimé d'autre le detesté

Trop jeune pour mourir. RIP.

Putain quelle claque se matin en ouvrant mon compte sur le fofo Nasser c'était pas n'importe qui dans le milieu, je me régalais il y a peut encore des missives qu'il avait postées sur le web, respect pour sa carrière car il a affiché du lourd ! il n'a pas toujours eu les places en conséquence mais bon
il s'était venté que Flx s'était niqué les reins en voulant le suivre dans la sêche.... l'écatombe continu, Nasser est la nouvelle victime du longue liste, il n'y a pas les morts mais aussi ceux qui morflent, Matarazzo etc....
d'autre plus intelligent on arrêté les produits et le surpoid avant le clash, Kevin, Dorian....
insuffisance rénal, ouais possible, le surpoid pour le coeur est bien probable aussi, car des années comme Nasser à 130 kg car a la fin il ne perdait plus un gramme est usant pour le coeur. Déjà moi avec 10 kg de plus l'hiver je souffle comme un boeuf ! bref à qui le tours ? je n'ose imaginer comment vont vieillir les mecs dans le circuit actuel ....

On commence à appercevoir le revers de la médaille en ce moment ! J'imagine la famille qu'il laisse derrière, à mon avis même pas la peine de venir leur parler de muscu après ça, et je suis pas convaincu que le jeux en vaille la chandelle ! Diminué son esperance de vie par 2 pour avoir son nom inscrit au ifbb hall of fame non merci ! Enfin, qu'il repose en paix !

ouch, vraiment surpris, sa fait bizarre.
RIP à ce grand champion.

Ah merde c'est chaud ...
RIP

whaou quel palmares et bardé de diplome en plus j'aimais bien quand y s'entrainai avec ses petite lunettesz ca lui donnais un ptit cote intello .bon voyage nasser

je veux pas créer la polémique... mais lire : son décès est peut etre du à un problème de surpoids, laissez moi rigoler


sans parler que l'insuffisance rénale n'arrive pas comme ca... soit elle commence jeune, dû à un problème du rein... c'est pas son cas, il ne serait jamais devenu bodybuilder.

et sinon, mauvaise hygiène de vie, lié à l"obésité, ce qui n'est pas son cas...


les 130 kg usent un coeur, pas les reins !!!!

C'est bien pour ça que je parlais de surpoids couillon... Le surpoids fatigue le coeur de façon précoce
