Lee Andrew McCutcheon born 6 July 1972, known professionally as Lee Priest, is a competitive bodybuilder. He is a former International Federation of BodyBuilders (IFBB) professional bodybuilder and a current National Amateur Body-Builders' Association (NABBA) professional athlete.
When entering the conversation about the best arms in bodybuilding, the name Lee Priest always finds its way into the list. But when the conversation shifts to the most controversial characters in the sport, that same name certainly takes the number one spot.
Standing at a mere 5’5”, Lee was one of the largest pound-for-pound bodybuilders around and one of the sport's youngest pros. Labelled the Giant Killer, he was able to routinely beat guys much bigger than him and was the reason Ronnie Coleman almost quit bodybuilding in 1997.
Known for his brutal honesty as much as for his freakish arm development, Lee was always in the limelight for his controversial opinions, steroid use transparency, and constant criticism of the IFBB, landing himself multiple suspensions before being banned for life from ever stepping on an IFBB stage.
From getting bullied as a child for having a gay father, being disowned, and committing s**cide, to being one of the biggest names in the sport, this is the story of the most controversial man in bodybuilding.
