I figured I'd add some extra info here for clarity.

1. This interview was conducted two days BEFORE Mattie's mini stroke. I guess if anything this makes things quite interesting because she mentions losing her health insurance as a downside of falling off the NTP and then within 48 hours has to deal with a pretty serious health problem.
2. USAW reached out to us and sent some direct quotes from CEO Matt Sicchio which were greatly appreciated. Basically they disagree with some of the things Mattie has said, and so we feel it's only fair for them to represent themselves properly. As a result rather than injecting a few quotes we are going to send more specific questions over to them so that we can share their points with more clarity rather than making this into a 'he said she said' type situation. So bare with us for a few days.
3. It's worth mentioning that from my perspective I have immense respect for Mattie as well as with loads of people from USAW. Ultimately no one is trying to do anything wrong here, and hopefully this situation will only go to help improve the system for the athletes and the federation.
4. This article received more attention than normal so rather than keeping it as a newsletter exclusive we have made it available to everyone on the website.

Sorry for the wall of text, any questions let me know 👇

Its really fun to see that one of the best rappers imo starting with weightlifting. However he has a lot to work on. What do you guys think about celebs doing weightlifting? Is there any other that you know of?
