News of the death of legendary icon Tonya Knight sent shockwaves throughout the world of bodybuilding and fitness. When Shawn Ray tagged me on his post this afternoon I simply couldn’t believe it at first. Knowing how close Shawn and Tonya were the bad news sunk in and I was left wanting answers. Although I never met her, I have countless magazines that featured her. Unlike a great many who read and toss print media, I’ve kept them over the years and also have purchased countless editions from eBay and Amazon.

No. End of article. Thank you for reading.

Seriously though let’s talk about how far we’ve come as a sport. Who can ever forget when Ronnie was asked about PED’s and he answered “I ain’t never used no steroids” and everyone in the room clapped for him and heckled the poor bastard who asked a very reasonable question.
