Dennis Wolf denies internet rumor

We're not exactly sure how something we reported three weeks ago is news again, but apparently it is today: Dennis Wolf will compete in the FLEX Pro on February 19th at the Santa Monica Civic Center. Despite an internet rumor to the contrary, we caught up with Wolf this morning for confirmation.

"I'm very excited to be in this contest," Wolf said. "I don't know how these things start because I've just been training and focusing on getting ready. I think there's a little extra motivation because it's the first time for this show and it's also the first one of the year."

Wolf will look to continue his success from the 2010 Olympia, where he re-established himself as an elite competitor by placing fifth.

"I'd like to call it irresponsible journalism, but that would imply that the people running this story as news understand what the word journalism means," FLEX Editor In Chief Allan Donnelly said. "Unfortunately some people take internet rumors as truth, and we did receive several calls this morning asking whether or not Dennis was still competing in the FLEX Pro. We then did what any responsible news outlet would when trying to confirm a rumor - we went straight to the source for confirmation.

"Needless to say, we are excited to see Dennis on stage competing in the FLEX Pro on February 19."
