Bodybuilder Fouad Abiad Involved in Motorcycle Accident, His Wife Shares Update on His Condition
In the post, Abiad’s wife, Sommer, shared cryptic details about the accident.
Find her official statement below:
“On Sunday afternoon, on a motorcycle trip with friends, Fouad had an unfortunate accident. On behalf of Fouad, our families, and closest friends, we are deeply grateful for the kindness, prayers, and words of strength you’ve shared with us during this difficult time.”
“Fouad is currently receiving the best possible care, and we remain hopeful and focused on his recovery. At this time, we will not be sharing further details and kindly ask for privacy as we dedicate our full energy to Fouad’s healing. With heartfelt thanks, Sommer Abiad,” she shared.
Fouad Abiad has faced some health struggles, which played a role in his stepping away from the sport. According to the 46-year-old, he was dealing with ongoing kidney problems, which he revealed in an emotional interview with former seven-time 212 Olympia Flex Lewis
“It was a major reason why I retired,” said Abiad. “There were physical injuries, tears, and stuff like my tricep tendon. But the main issue is I want to be around for my wife. We don’t have kids. It’s me and her. I don’t want to leave her alone.”
Details about his condition are limited at the time of this writing. Our team at Fitness Volt wishes Abiad a speedy recovery and well wishes to his friends and family.
