Mohammed Benaziza

Mohammed Benaziza (1959 to 1992) was a professional bodybuilder who played soccer as a child in France, began working out while still playing and then chose bodybuilding, competing first as an amateur in France. He won his first contest in Spain in the under 75 kilogram category, kept collecting small prizes, and won the 1990 Night of Champions, his first appearance there, with Dorian Yates second, after which Joe Weider nicknamed him the Killer of Giants. He entered the Mr. Olympia three times, and his last contest was the 1992 Mr. Olympia, where he placed fifth. A few weeks later he competed again in the Netherlands and was found dead in his hotel room on 4 October 1992, aged 33, after an injection reportedly given by an unidentified man before the show.
