Ronnie Coleman is one of the most well-known figures in the bodybuilding industry.
Perhaps Arnold, but Ronnie is as big as they come after him. Many of his admirers are praying that whatever medical condition he is dealing with is nothing more serious than a peanut, as he frequently says while carrying an absurdly large weight.
Following a statement posted to his Facebook page on Monday, friends of the 61-year-old Coleman are praying and offering well wishes.

We respectfully request your cooperation and understanding in maintaining a civil and speculation-free atmosphere.

Coleman made that announcement after posting that he will not be traveling to the UK this week as scheduled because of a medical emergency.
He wrote, Don’t worry. I am receiving the best treatment, being in the best hands, and persevering through it all. I can’t wait to get out there and meet you all soon because I’ll be back and better than ever! As always, this is nothing but a peanut, and I appreciate all of your love and support.
From 1998 to 2005, Coleman won the prestigious Mr. Olympia title eight times in a row, matching Lee Haney’s record. He took home 26 professional IFBB titles.
