A Russian arm wrestler was disqualified from a European tournament after he sent a lookalike to his weigh-in in an attempt to move to a lower weight class.
Arsen Liliev tried to enter the 154-pound weight class at the European championships being held in Lycksele, northern Sweden, but weighed 4.4 pounds too much, said Andreas Johansson, chairman of the Swedish Armsport Association… Liliev decided to try again, but this time he sent a "lookalike" to replace him at the weigh-in, Johansson said. The impostor… passed the weight control, but officials discovered the fraud before the competition started.
"They resemble each other but it didn't work," Johansson said.
Mmmm… Johansson. That's how I ended up the chairman of my Handsport Association. It's a little different from Armsport. You kind of compete against yourself.


Did you ever appear in the "Fist of Fury Championships"?
A competition has a winner and a loser. In Handsport, everyone's a winner.
My whole body is an engine. This is a fireplug…and I'm gonna light him up!
No Ufford don't do it! You'll go blind!
I drive truck, break arms, and arm wrestle. It's what I love to do, it's what I do best.
As long as you “compete” with a Peter Cetera song playing loudly.
Atta boy, Hercules…In a perfect world there should be atleast one Over the Top reference a week.
However, Robert Loggia should never be involved in "competition."
I see a Farrelly script.
"In Handsport, everyone's a winner."
Except the kittens.
Did somebody say "Khrushchev"?
When I turn this lookalike around, I become a machine.
This also happened last year when Ron Jeremy coached the Heat for 2 months while Stan Van Gundy made 12 pornos.
In Soviet Russia, arm wrestles you!
Fuggit, I got nothin'.
I'll take Stalin in that arm wrestling match. At least until Stallone turns his hat around. Then it's on like a pot of neckbones.
