Hey,

I currently read, that Albert Beckles (Mr. Universe 1971) was a vegan! Does anyone have information on that??

Hi all

I too thought Albert was a vegetarian, never thought he was vegan though, I wanted to know for some academic work I want to do on veganism/vegetarianism and strength training but when I emailed Linda Beckles his wife she said he wasn't. He eats chicken and is not vegetarian. It's a rumour that just got blown up out of knowhere. Albert never, ever said he was vege, and Linda can't understand where it all came from. She was really nice and helpful about the subject. The only megastar bodybuilder vege Albert knows of is Bill Pearl. And Bill of course eats eggs. I might email Bill and find out what he knows, because years ago, many athletes wouldn't admit to not eating meat, don't know why.

Hope this helps. If anyone knows any inside info, I'd love to know.

Cheers

Rob

Hm... I'm pretty sure, at least Andreas Cahling was also vegetarian, since he was on a magazine cover of "vegetarian times" once. And there was some interview, where he said he stopped eating dairy products and in a german animal rights magazine I even read that he was vegan.

They wrote nothing 'bout their source though...
