Lee Andrew Priest McCutcheon, also known as “The Blond Myth” (born July 6, 1972 in Newcastle, Australia) is a IFBB professional bodybuilder.

Background

Priest was raised together with his two-year older sister by their mother, who also practices bodybuilding in Wallsend, Newcastle, NSW, Australia where he attended Platsburg Primary school.

Priest has gained popularity in the bodybuilding world due to his down-to-Earth manner, laconic sense of humour and willingness to talk to and help young up-and-coming bodybuilders. At 162 centimetres, he is one of the shortest professional bodybuilders. When not competing, he weighs as much as 130 kilograms, but he cuts down to 90 kilograms in competition season.

On July 1, 2000 he married Cathy LeFrancois, a female bodybuilder, from whom he has since separated. Recently he was engaged to popular fitness pro Adela Garcia. It was later announced that they both had separated on good terms.

Unlike many pro bodybuilders, Priest has long had an interest in tattoos. In 2005 he got a facial tattoo, similar to the one worn by Mike Tyson.

In September 2006, Priest was suspended from the IFBB for competing in a non-sanctioned event. This prevented him from competing in the Mr. Olympia at the end of that month. [http://leepriestdriven.com/letter.gif]

Priest was reinstated back in the IFBB in June 2008 to allow him a chance to qualify for the 2008 Mr. Olympia.
