Twenty years ago Englishman Arthur White was a power lifting champion. During his career he held 9 British titles, 6 European titles and 4 World titles. He was also a successful businessman with houses, cars and a loving family. But he lost it all through a drug addiction to cocaine. He ended up as a nightclub bouncer and an illegal debt collector who used violence to get people to pay the money they owed.
Twenty years on and everything has changed. Arthur is no longer violent and he’s reconciled to his wife and family.
In the first of his two-part story this week on Planet Sport he tells us about his love for power lifting and how he’s turned himself around from a life of drug addition, fear and paranoia.
