Sometimes professional competitive bodybuilding at the level of Mr. Olympia is not only unfair but also inhuman, in my opinion. At least this is the case for Iranian IFBB Pro Hadi Choopan. Although the Iranian great athlete was qualified to take part in the Mr. Olympia 2017, he failed to get his visa. Can you imagine the tragic position they put him after all his sacrifices for his preparation stealing from him the right to travel and compete? So but so tragic and disappointing!
Hadi Choopan started his rise in the bodybuilding industry when he won the IFBB Diamond Cup 2016 in Dubai, and his Pro Status. Only two days later, he made his Pro debut in IFBB Sheru Classic Pro Show 2016 finishing at the 2nd place after the Dutch bodybuilding star Roelly Winklaar.
Don't miss his video at the bottom of the post!

That's disgusting that they refused a visa to someone who's clearly no threat to national security and merely trying to compete! Poor guy, he must feel pretty devastated.
Amazing athlete. great article plus video! Thanks for including it !
I absolutely agree! Such a disgrace !
To be fair, we do not know the details of the visa issue. And the statement was not that he was refused a visa; only that he failed to get one. He may have not known he needed a visa to compete in the competition. Who knows?
of course he knew that he needed a visa he isn't stupid and this isn't his first time at an international competition. he was refused a visa by the current administration
Waou ! So beautiful pics. What a great poser.
