Nick Miller, who is a natural bodybuilder (I.E. no chemical enhancements) and posts videos on YouTube, recently shared a video of him talking about WWE Champion Jinder Mahal’s physique and also WWE’s Wellness Policy. He thinks Mahal’s body is “Reasonably suspicious” and that the WWE should be testing Mahal under their own guidelines.
Miller’s evidence against Mahal are:
* Mahal’s extreme vascularity followed by an “extreme almost unreasonable level” of low body fat and leanness from match to match.
* The dramatic transformation of Jinder Mahal, which he called a “
* Miller also pointed to Mahal having gynecomastia (a condition caused by a hormonal imbalance or, elevated estrogen levels from possibly not recovering correctly from a steroid cycle).
It was also pointed out to Miller of Mahal’s acne and skin condition in recent months as well.
Mahal, for his part, has done several interviews about the subject and had denied being on steroids or other enhancers. Mahal has said he learned tips to improve his physique from John Cena himself. While many fans have speculated about the reasons for him becoming champion after so little build after years of being a jobber, the change in his build may have played a part in the decision, as it is well known Vince McMahon has long been a fan of bodybuilder types in his company.

Raw cruiserweight TJ Perkins is one of the most prominently featured superstars from 205 Live on Raw each Monday night. It seemed strange when his name was shortened to TJP just a few weeks ago. Bryan Alvarez stated on the Wrestling Observer’s Bryan and Vinny show recently that the name change was because of Vince McMahon hating the name Perkins. The chairman allegedly hates the restaurant change of the same name, and he did not want the name associated with any of his wrestlers. This was believed to be the reason for the sudden decision to have his name shortened without any notice.
Fortunately, the real reason behind it seems to be a bit more logical. Despite the rumors circulating recently, TJP revealed that the name change was for a different reason. He wrote the following on his Twitter page in response: “Actually I just asked to be called TJP. Not very complicated. “ TJP has been his name for a while now as no mentions of the Perkins name has been made since the name shortening, and WWE also filed a trademark for “TJP” one week ago. It appears that Perkins himself simply asked management if he could go by a quicker name, and they approved his request.
TJP was born Theodore James Perkins, and he became the inaugual Cruiserweight Classic tournament winner last year as TJ Perkins. Stories of Vince McMahon being petty are nothing new, but in TJ’s case, that doesn’t appear to be the issue here. TJP has been one of the most consistently featured 205 Live stars on Raw ever since he turned heel earlier this year. He has recently been involved in a partnership with Neville that ended this past week when he earned and lost a Cruiserweight Championship match against his former partner. The trademark has been officially filed. so no matter what happens next in his career, TJ Perkins is gone and TJP is here to stay.

French spies doctored files to cover up failings that resulted in jihadists murdering a priest in his church, according to French reports.
Claims that agents post-dated documents to cover their blunders have cast a fresh spotlight on counterterrorism agencies in the wake of over a string of terror attacks that have left 239 people dead in France since 2015.
Red tape and a battle of egos between intelligence managers are costing lives, according to the report published by Mediapart, the investigative news website, which conducted a six-month investigation into the blunders.
On July 26, 2016, Islamists Adel Kermiche and Abdel Malik Petitjean burst into a church in the small town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray in Normandy and slit the throat of Jacques Hamel, the 85-year-old priest, in front of four parishioners. Police shot dead the pair as they left the church.
However, it now appears that five days previously an agent at the Paris Police Prefecture Intelligence Unit had come across an encrypted channel on Telegram, a favoured messaging service with terrorists, containing a message from a certain @Jayyed boasting that “I haven’t been uncovered”.
@Jayyed was in fact Kermiche, who then posted a video on the channel claiming that he gave lessons in a mosque in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.
In one message he urged attacks on churches and said that with a knife one could “cut off two or three heads” and create “carnage”.
A subsequent police report noted that the comments “clearly pointed towards a jihadist profile turned in an explicit manner towards the Islamic State organisation".
The agent who uncovered the worrying message informed his superiors of what he considered an imminent threat and advised them to inform the General Direction of Interior Security, the French equivalent of MI5.
However, his written warnings went unanswered and senior officers at the Paris Police Prefecture Intelligence Unit were away at the time.
Officers cited by Mediapart said that after the murder, the agent was asked to post-date his notes and erase his computer’s browser history to ensure that the blunder went unnoticed. But he omitted to erase the original date of the document from one of the computer files.
Intelligence agents told the website that red tape was hampering the fight against Islamist terrorism and that bosses "sit on notes because there is a comma in the wrong place".
Even if senior officers hadn’t been away, “there were several layers of people who had to validate it," said another. The bureaucratic weight is such that the information would never have got through in time to save the priest.”

A prominent Saint Petersburg-based Napoleon expert has confessed to murdering his young lover and former student and dismembering her body in a grisly crime that sent shock waves across Russia.
Oleg Sokolov, a 63-year-old history lecturer who received France’s Legion d’Honneur in 2003, was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of murder after he was hauled out of the icy Moika River with a backpack containing a woman’s arms.
"He has admitted his guilt," Sokolov’s lawyer Alexander Pochuev told AFP, adding he regretted what he had done and was now cooperating.
Sokolov was reportedly drunk and fell in as he tried to dispose of body parts.
After disposing of the corpse he reportedly planned to commit suicide at the Peter and Paul Fortress, one of the former imperial capital’s most famous landmarks, dressed as Napoleon.
Sokolov teaches history at Saint Petersburg State University, President Vladimir Putin’s alma mater, and was close to the Russian authorities.
He told investigators that he shot and killed his lover during an argument and then sawed off her head, arms and legs, local media reported.
Pochuev suggested Sokolov may have been under stress or emotionally disturbed.
"He is an elderly person," he said, adding he was being treated for hypothermia in a hospital.
Police discovered the decapitated body of Anastasia Yeshchenko, 24, with whom Sokolov had co-authored a number of works, and a blood-stained saw at his home.
The historian, who also taught at Sorbonne University, is the author of books on French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
He acted as a historical consultant on several films and took part in historical re-enactments of Napoleonic wars.
Both he and his lover studied French history and liked to wear period costumes, with Sokolov dressing up as Napoleon.
Students described Sokolov as both a talented lecturer who could impersonate the French emperor and his generals and a "freak" who called his lover "Josephine" and liked to be addressed as "Sire".
"What happened is simply monstrous," a Saint Petersburg State University lecturer told AFP.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, he said Sokolov was dedicated to his work but was also emotionally unstable and abused alcohol.
His former student, Fyodor Danilov, said Sokolov was regarded as one of the university’s best lecturers but an eccentric man who at times yelled in French.
His relationship with Yeshchenko was an open secret, he said. "But everyone was fine with that, it was her own business," he told AFP.
Many expressed dismay, saying Sokolov had long been known for his hostile behaviour but officials had ignored complaints.
Vasily Kunin, who studied with the victim, blamed the university management.
"They did not pay attention to certain things," he told AFP.
"There was a certain policy of hushing things up."
Media reports said that Sokolov also beat up and threatened to kill another woman in 2008 but was never charged.

On Twitter, screenwriter Andrew Ryvkin said Sokolov was one of his lecturers, describing the Saint Petersburg-based university as a place where "alcoholics" and "anti-Semites" felt at ease.
Sokolov was a senior member of the Russian Military-Historical Society headed by Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky.
The organisation immediately sought to distance itself from the controversy.
In 2003, Red Star, the official newspaper of the defence ministry, gushingly described Sokolov as a "serious historian" whose works were published in France.
Sokolov was also a member of Lyon-based Institute of Social Science, Economics and Politics (ISSEP). On Saturday the society announced that he had been stripped of his position on its scientific committee.
"We learn with horror about the atrocious crime of which Oleg Sokolov is allegedly guilty," it said in a statement.
ISSEP was founded by Marion Marechal, the niece of Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally party.
A new biography of French first lady Brigitte Macron appears to have confirmed the existence of a long-rumoured erotic novel written by her husband about the early days of their romance, when she was his married teacher.
The book says the text focused on Emmanuel Macron’s controversial relationship with the woman who was his drama teacher before becoming his wife.
Mr Macron’s youthful literary aspirations have already been well documented, but the new book, titled "Brigitte Macron, l’affranchie" ("Brigitte Macron, Liberated"), claims it has proof of the erotic fiction.
It quotes a neighbour of his family in the town of Amiens, who was a typist by profession, who says that he approached her for help.
"I knew him from the neighbourhood and one day he asked me to type up 300 pages of his novel," she told biographer Maelle Brun.
“It was a daring novel, a little racy! The names were of course not the same but I think he had to express what he felt at the time," she said.
The Elysée, contacted by the Telegraph, declined to comment on the book’s existence.

But if true, this would not be the first time a French head of state turned his hand to saucy prose.
Ex-president Valery Giscard d’Estaing in 2009 published a romantic novel clearly modelled on himself and the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
The fictional pair consummate their relationship on a train following a 1984 ceremony to mark the anniversary of the D-Day landings, and then follow on with steamy romps at French country houses and in a series of palaces.
Many lesser French politicians have also turned their hand to erotic fiction.
The current Prime Minister, Édouard Philippe, co-wrote "In the Shadows", a political thriller crossed with erotica, while Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire published "The Minister" which features a decidedly risqué scene involving the main character and his wife on a trip to Venice.
The House passed a broad spending package on Friday for fiscal 2021 with amendments that include a measure blocking the construction of the controversial Pebble Mine in Alaska.
The overall spending package for the 2021 fiscal year passed Friday would cost $1.3 trillion. It encompasses defense; labor, health and human services, and education; commerce, justice and science; energy and water; financial services and general government; and transportation and housing and urban development.

The passage of the bill comes on the heels of the Trump administration’s completion of an environmental impacts assessment of the Pebble Mine, bringing it one step closer to construction.
The government assessment determined that the controversial project “would not be expected to have a measurable effect on fish numbers and result in long-term changes to the health of the commercial fisheries in Bristol Bay,” something environmentalists have raised concerns about.
Critics of the assessment said that it underestimated the potential for harm to water and fish.
Support for the mine is largely divided along party lines, as it is supported by many Republicans.

He said in a statement Friday that jeopardizing Bristol Bay would be “gravely irresponsible” and that the administration’s assessment “did not come anywhere close to assuring me that this world-class, pristine treasure would be protected.”

A number of other environmental amendments were also recently added on to the approximately $49.6 billion in energy and water spending.
For example, amendments from Reps. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) and Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.) would prohibit the government from rejecting grant applications because they use the phrases “global warming,” “climate change” or “sea level rise.”
Overall, the water and energy section would provide $41 billion for the Energy Department’s budget, an increase of about $2.3 billion over last year, and provide $7.63 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers.
The legislation faces negotiations with the Republican-led Senate during which some of the provisions could be lost.
The White House has also threatened to veto the broad spending package, outlining nearly 30 pages worth of provisions to which it objects.

TikTok fired back at President TrumpDonald John TrumpTrump says he will ban TikTok from operating in the US Trump’s 2019 financial disclosure reveals revenue at Mar-a-Lago, other major clubs Treasury to conduct policy review of tax-exempt status for universities after Trump tweets MORE after he announced he will soon ban the Chinese-owned video app from operating in the United States, saying the company has no plans to cease operations.
In a statement, a TikTok spokesperson said the platform has provided millions of Americans with “entertainment and connection” during the coronavirus pandemic and denied criticism that its Chinese owner shares user information with Beijing.
“TikTok US user data is stored in the US, with strict controls on employee access. TikTok’s biggest investors come from the US. We are committed to protecting our users’ privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform,” the spokesperson said.

TikTik also released a video on Saturday featuring U.S. General Manager Vanessa Pappas defending the app and touting U.S. jobs and other measures taken by the company.
“We’re not planning on going anywhere,” Pappas says in the video, adding later “we’re here for the long run.”
The pushback came after Trump warned on Friday evening that he could use emergency powers or an executive order as soon as this weekend to bar the platform from operating in the U.S.

“As far as TikTok is concerned, we’re banning them from the United States,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Friday.
The American Civil Liberties Union also panned Trump’s announcement, saying banning TikTok would be “a danger to free expression and technologically impractical.”
Though TikTok has become popular with millions of young people worldwide, bipartisan lawmakers in Washington have expressed concerns that the platform’s owner, the Beijing-based company ByteDance, could provide the Chinese government with user data, concerns they say are even more grave given China’s efforts to meddle in the 2020 election.
Trump on Friday also came out against reports that Microsoft was in talks to purchase TikTok from ByteDance, saying he didn’t support the deal, according to NBC News. Multiple media outlets reported Friday that the president was considering signing an executive order requiring ByteDance to divest the U.S. portion of TikTok.

A Florida teenager and two others have been arrested for allegedly being behind a major Twitter hack earlier this month that resulted in several prominent accounts posting messages for a bitcoin scam.
The Department of Justice announced that U.K. resident Mason Shepard, 19, and Orlando resident Nima Fazeli, 22, who go by the hacking aliases “Chaewon” and “Rolex” respectively, were charged with helping carry out the hack. A third person, a 17-year-old who lives in Tampa, has also been charged.
The 17-year-old is facing 30 felony charges including organized fraud, communications fraud, identity theft and hacking, carrying potential penalties of more than $100,000. Those charges have been filed by Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren in Florida, who described the teenager as the “mastermind” of the hack.

Shepard and Fazeli, meanwhile, have been charged in federal court in California. Shepard was charged with computer intrusion, wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy, with the most serious charge bringing 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Fazeli was charged with one count of computer intrusion, which carries a max sentence of five years and a $250,000 fine.
The hack, which took place July 15, affected a number of prominent Twitter accounts, including those of former President Obama, former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenHillicon Valley: Three arrested in Twitter hack | Trump pushes to break up TikTok | House approves 0M for election security Wisconsin Republicans raise questions about death of Black Trump supporter Trump holds mini-rally at Florida airport MORE, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Tesla CEO Elon MuskElon Reeve MuskHillicon Valley: Three arrested in Twitter hack | Trump pushes to break up TikTok | House approves 0M for election security Florida teenager, two others arrested over major Twitter hack Reforming environmental review to build a cleaner and brighter future MORE, among others.
Authorities say the defendants were able to reap more than $100,000 in bitcoin by posting messages on the hacked accounts asking followers to send funds.
Twitter later said that the hackers obtained employee credentials, allowing them to target 130 accounts, tweeting from 45, accessing direct message inboxes of 36 and downloading data from seven. Twitter temporarily prevented verified accounts from tweeting on the day of the incident, and announced an immediate investigation into what occurred.
“There is a false belief within the criminal hacker community that attacks like the Twitter hack can be perpetrated anonymously and without consequence,” U.S. Attorney David Anderson said in a statement Friday. “Today’s charging announcement demonstrates that the elation of nefarious hacking into a secure environment for fun or profit will be short-lived. Criminal conduct over the Internet may feel stealthy to the people who perpetrate it, but there is nothing stealthy about it.”

“In particular, I want to say to would-be offenders, break the law, and we will find you,” Anderson said.
The FBI announced earlier this month that it was launching an investigation into the hack. Special Agent in Charge John Bennett on Friday highlighted the unusual speed of the charges being brought against the defendants.
“While investigations into cyber breaches can sometimes take years, our investigators were able to bring these hackers into custody in a matter of weeks,” Bennett said. “Regardless of how long it takes us to identify hackers, we will follow the evidence to where it leads us and ultimately hold those responsible for cyber intrusions accountable for their actions. Cyber criminals will not find sanctuary behind their keyboards.”
The state attorney told local NBC affiliate WFLA that the 17-year-old in Florida was arrested by federal authorities on Friday and turned over to state officials, who have filed charges against him.
“Working together, we will hold this defendant accountable,” Warren said in a statement. “Scamming people out of their hard-earned money is always wrong. Whether you’re taking advantage of someone in person or on the internet, trying to steal their cash or their cryptocurrency—it’s fraud, it’s illegal, and you won’t get away with it.”

The Internal Revenue Service and the Secret Service were also involved in the investigation into the hack.
Twitter has posted consistent updates on its investigation into the hacking incident, tweeting Thursday night that the hackers gained access to the accounts through a mobile phone spear phishing attack. This attack allowed the individuals to obtain the credentials of Twitter employees with access to the compromised accounts.
Twitter said it had “significantly limited access to internal tools and systems” as it continued to make improvements stemming from the hacking incident.
“This was a striking reminder of how important each person on our team is in protecting our service,” the company tweeted. “We take that responsibility seriously and everyone at Twitter is committed to keeping your information safe.”
“We appreciate the swift actions of law enforcement in this investigation and will continue to cooperate as the case progresses,” Twitter said in a statement Friday.
