Last week, IFBB Pro Silvio Samuel’s legal troubles finally came to a climax, as he was sentenced to 5 years in prison. Samuel was found guilty of three charges of Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and one charge of Inflicting Corporal Injury/Spouse. After hearing this news, I contacted Silvio’s former girlfriend, and the victim of his crimes. She gave me her account of what happened in the court room that day:
I was at the sentencing, yes. Silvio is a very scary individual. He needs some serious mental help. Before the sentencing he turned around, stared for a long chilling few minutes at me and my daughter. He looked like Jeffery Dahmer. He still claims he did nothing wrong.
I called my lawyer friend to see what the “five years” really means in California in terms of how long Silvio will likely serve in prison, and he said, “With good behavior he’ll be out in 2.5, and with the California overcrowding, he could be out in less.”
Silvio is 37 years old, and could be out before he turns 40. Will we ever see him on IFBB Pro Bodybuilding stage again, I think not, but you never know?

Jarka Pays Her Debts
In my column a few weeks back, Missing Money in Miami (http://www.rxmuscle.com/articles/muscle-gossip/5007-muscle-gossip-47-missing-money-in-miami), I predicted Master’s World Championships promoter, Jarka Lorie, would pay the athletes she still owed money. I received some flack on the net about my prediction, but I’m happy to say that I have been proven right. As of right now, all the athletes that competed have received their prize money.
Tricky Jackson, the 7th place finisher and Best Posing Award recipient, informed me that he had been in full, making this the biggest pay day of his career. It should also be noted that Jarka paid a 10% interest on the money she owed.
I think we can expect an announcement of another Jarka promoted show in the near future.
