After Shawn Rhoden’s spot at the 2019 Mr. Olympia was revoked due to rape charges, everyone is wondering even more now than before if The 7x Mr. Olympia champion Phil Heath will return to compete.

After all, he is only one title away from tying the all-time record of 8 wins with legends Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney.
But that’s not to say Roelly Winklaar, Brandon Curry and William Bonac aren’t serious threats. It’s just that Phil Heath has an advantage after having won the title seven times. And he’s actually in amazing shape right now as he’s still a huge ambassador for bodybuilding, even touring in the U.K. currently.
But, whether or not he’ll decide to come back is something we’ll find out pretty soon. And most people would agree that it’d be in his best interest to do so as there’s no better time than now!
