    minimizing the disease at all, it runs in my family in fact. But it's quite treatable these days. Particularly if you're disciplined about your nutrition and fitness. One would think Lundgren would be disciplined given his role and athletic experience.

    I was surprised too and then I saw your post.
    I remembered he has some belly at younger age, so with these complications I thought he could be heavy drinker.

    I found this

    Also you will find lots of discussions about how fat he became etc.

    I wondered in the past why Federer let him go.

    So did I. Lundgren was the one that polished the still raw talent into
    what it became. I never knew what, for example, Roche brought to the
    table. Maybe dessert.
