It appears two top competitors have dropped out of the Arnold Classic.

According to reports it appears that both Lionel Beyeke and Nathan De Asha are out of the Arnold Classic 2020.

Lionel Beyeke made a post to Instagram informing his followers and fans that he will not be competing at the Arnold Classic.


“I want to apologize to you friends and fans. my absence from this competition is really not my will. it is really with a heavy heart that I announce my ABSENCE to the Arnold classic Columbus 2020. apparently there someone in high places decided to harm me until end. some people have the right to move and others do not. I cannot give more details. but I know one thing that only the will of God will accomplish in my life. no one has the right to prevent a man from be able to do their job or their trade. once again my heart is in pain of not being able to go on stage at the Arnold classic Columbus 2020. all my efforts and my sacrifices once again in the water. but thank God in all circumstances and trust him.”

Nathan De Asha also appears to be out of the competition taking place in Columbus, Ohio. While he posted a recent photo to Instagram showcasing some impressive gains ahead of the big show, it appears that the comments in the post tell a different story of his participation in the Arnold Classic 2020.

It looks like the Coronavirus has had a pretty long reaching effect on recent competitions. It’s unfortunate that two top competitors won’t get to showcase what they’ve been working on in the off season.
