Writing in the Dominion Post, Jonathan Millmow catches up with All Blacks great Jonah Lomu as he prepares to embark on his new career.
"Jonah Lomu is turning heads again. The rugby great, kidney transplant patient and father of one was buying tanning oil yesterday for one of the most unlikely sporting comebacks - the Wellington body building championships.
"Two years ago, Lomu tipped the scales at 142 kilograms. On Saturday night, at the 330-seat Memorial Hall at Victoria University, he hopes to be 114kg. The man nicknamed the Black Bus during his 63-test career now has 50-centimetre biceps and will compete against three others in the over-90kg novice section.
