From a Flex article:

Your height is 5'3"? Does your height bother you?

No, I am 5'3 ½ or 5'4". My height goes up in down in some magazines. I have seen myself as little as 5'2" in a magazine. No, it doesn't bother me. If you have seen my family, I am probably the tallest in my family, so nothing has stunted my growth at all, it had nothing to do with the drugs. I come from a short family. Then I read on the boards that because I am short and small, that's why I look bigger. If I am weighing 200 pounds, and my arms 21 or 22 inches, and you are 6'3" and your 280 pounds with 22 inch arms, I don't think that makes you a good guy. You've got the same measurements as a guy 5'5", you are not a big guy. You should be bigger than me if you are taller and heavier than me. You should have more muscle than me. I get tired when people ask me 'How do I feel about being a smaller bodybuilder". If my body measurements is like someone who weights 260 pounds, how does that make me small? I will take the short, I don't give a shit about being short but if I carry the same dimensions as someone taller than me, I don't see how that makes me a small bodybuilder.

5'4 is the cut off, he's to short.
Even if he says it doesn't bother him, it does by reading the above, he's very self conscious of his height. (I'm 5' 3" and 1/2) LOL
Did you ever meet a BB that short? They look very very strange.
His head is to big for his body even at 200lbs.
Thats probably why they won't reinstate him, he's to short.
He would look stupid next to Dennis Wolf.
