Víctor Martínez
In January 2008, Martínez underwent surgery to repair his left patellar tendon which ruptured while he was performing warm-up lunges.
Due to the severity of the injury, he was unable to compete in either the 2008 Arnold Classic or 2008 Mr. Olympia contests.
On July 2009, Martínez's sister Eridania Rodríguez, disappeared from work at a NY skyscraper under mysterious circumstances. Her body was found four days later inside of a ventilation shaft on the floor where she was working.Joseph Pabon, a handyman working in the building, was convicted of her murder on April 2, 2012.
Martínez competed in the 2009 IFBB Arnold Classic placing 2nd.
Martínez was co-owner of the Muscle Maker Grill in Edgewater NJ and is the spokesperson for the franchise as a whole. He lost the business due to being incarcerated for more than six weeks for immigration violations.
Martínez has 2 sons, Justin and Jared and 2 daughters, Victoria and Zayde.
IFBB Pro Victor Martinez was arrested on returning to the U.S. on October 9, 2011, after winning the Arnold Europe in Madrid, Spain. His permanent resident card had expired and, due to his criminal record for selling steroids in 2004, it was not renewed. Instead, he was sent to a detention center in New Jersey to await a deportation hearing that could have sent him back to his native Dominican Republic. He was denied bail.A few of the documents were not in order, and his final hearing was postponed until April 2012. He was held at the Hudson County Correctional Facility in South Kearny, NJ. On April 27, he returned to court and was released from jail and permitted to remain in the US.
