Darwin Uribe will miss the contest due to health issues.
The 2023 Arnold Classic is just three weeks away and the Classic Physique roster will be a bit smaller than anticipated. Darwin Uribe shared that he will not compete in the event because of personal health issues.
Uribe began competing in the IFBB Pro League in 2021 and was victorious in his debut during the Chicago Pro. He qualified for the 2022 Olympia once again after winning the Houston Tournament of Champions. Despite qualifying on multiple occasions, Uribe has yet to compete on the biggest stage in the sport.
Now, Uribe will miss the Arnold Classic and he took to Instagram to make the announcement.

unfortunately this is something that I won’t be able to finish, sadly no this time, sadly I can’t push through this now and finish because there is always more red flags, and red flags that indicate you it’s time to stop, even when I thought that now that I have a great support system , an amazing coach”
