Bodybuilding is no easy sport as the athletes have to put their bodies through extreme workouts and diets to get ready for competition. Emotions tend to fly high as competitors line up on stage to battle it out for the grand prize. In a recent video uploaded on Instagram, a Bangladeshi bodybuilder lost his cool when he finished runner-up. As a result, he threw the prize (a blender) and even kicked it twice in a fit of rage.
Jahid Hasan Shuvo, a professional competitor in Bangladesh, participated in the BABF National Bodybuilding Championships 2022, held on Dec. 23 last year. He was targeting a win at the show and was confident he brought the right package. However, the show’s judges did not agree with him as they gave him second place.
Another competitor, presumably the winner of the show, can be seen exalted when Shuvo’s name comes up for the runner-up place during the announcement ceremony.
A dejected Shuvo looked at the crowd in attendance in disbelief after the announcement before making his way to collect the trophy and a blender machine. He did not seem interested in getting a few photos taken with the organizers as he paced back and forth on the stage. One of the hosts asked him to step aside and told him to walk off the stage.
Shuvo complied but not without giving them a piece of his mind. He got off the stage and immediately threw the blender machine in a fit of rage before kicking it twice out of frustration.
Bodybuilder receives lifetime ban for kicking second-place prize
In a recent Instagram post, Jahid Hasan Shuvo went viral for his unsportsmanlike antics at the show. He later clarified that he was pushing back against the corruption and bias of the Bangladesh Bodybuilding Federation (BBF).
“This was a kick at corruption. Any kind of corruption in any place in our country,” he told the media. “Even a child could tell the difference in physique between me and the winner. However, I would like to apologies for my reaction, because without context, it looks unpleasant for a sportsperson to do that.”
The BBF responded with a lifetime ban on Shuvo after discussing the matter with the International Federation of Bodybuilding (IFBB) on Dec. 25.
Former Bangladeshi bodybuilder Haji Peyar Mohammad, who served as a judge at the show, weighed in on the decision.
“I have been in this sport for 32 years now but never saw such an incident before. There was a better player than him. There were 12 judges who picked their best and he just got fewer votes.
There is win and loss in sport and one has to accept it, but he wasn’t able to hold his anger,” he told Dhaka Tribune. “I know him for a long time.
I liked him. He had a promising future, but he just ruined his career with this incident. I feel bad for him because I could never imagine he could act like this.”

It’s unfortunate to see the way this rising prospect’s bodybuilding ambitions ended. In the future, hopefully he can control his emotions in the heat of the moment.
Roid rage
Totally unsportsmanlike, but lifetime ban-excessive.
I cant really blame him, even though i wanted to scream roid rage prior to reading the full article. The picture is proof in itself — he aint lying — he is clearly the winner.
Well his reaction is not appropriate but, I can see that he was ready to take the picture when the other guy told him to move to the corner and the article said something yo talk different. My point of view it’s different
I agree with you. Although they don’t seem to train there LE
Judging by this picture we see there is no way he should have lost. If there was prize money it was basically somebody taking money out of his pocket.
You can clearly see his body was better ,.
Height and genetical discrimination honestly no wonder he was upset
No way to act……. But he does have a point here. He does appear to be the clear winner! I think the other guy was even surprised when he heard the announcement for 2nd place. Still, no way to act.
Total corruption haha even the winner was like ooh heavenly cow elephant 12 arm lady god thank yous! Not one part of his body was even on par with golden boot wolverine. After seeing the winner he actually showed restraint hah they didn’t even give him a blender it was just the box with a promise for the blender at a later time. Hahaha
He was more upset with the way the organisers behaved. When he was posing for the photo the joker in the pink outfit asked him to move aside. That made him more angry. People like that pink shithead should be banned from coming close to competitions like this.
Sorry, but the winner has a better physique. He looks more muscular and bigger than him too.
All these replies saying he has a better physique must be blind. The other guy is better. Lol
He was upset because they told him to leave the stage so the VIP can take pictures
