Grrrr, okay. Not sure why, maybe an IP thing. Comes right up for me and I don't have a sign in.

Basically his father was a psychopathic freak that wouldn't let him play with other kids, go outside, etc. Also replaced all his meals with supplemental drinks, beat him and his mother and so and so forth.
Dad's in jail now, kid's no longer famous and not nearly as strong but happy.
Bodybuilding Prodigy
The 72-pound nine-year-old bodybuilding prodigy Richard Sandrak once met with officials from the Guinness Book of World Records to confirm that Sandrak was indeed the world's strongest boy and could lift three times his own weight. They were promptly kicked off the set, after his father Pavel and manager Frank Giardina were caught trying to help him lift the weight.
At nine, Sandrak trained for two and a half hours each day, ate nothing but ten daily doses of homemade vegetable-based "Sports Formula," and slept on the floor (for correct posture). At three and half, Sandrak's sister, Anastasia, was doing ab work and carrying around weighted beanbags.

I saw this on 20 / 20 last week. Poor kid. He sounds like he's got his head on straight now, considering all the crap he went through. His dad should be stripped, dipped in acid, beaten with a bamboo cane, then rolled in sea salt and fed to wolverines high on crystal meth. :mj:
