The rumour I have Heard is that HE left her. And he did so cause he could not stand her abuse and dependence of "chemicals"...
Well, everything is possible. And probably, the german members of this board can tell us more (I am sure, this topic had been discussed at some local forums).
So, all I can do is - to use a simple LOGIC. No emotions, like "Show me a single man on Earth, who will leave such a woman!"
When the "rumors" are born, somebody allways have an interest in this!
Can he, Claus Willemer (by the way, everybody can google his name and find a lot information about him and his works), have such an interest?
Definitely, yes!
Because, when your wife goes from you to a strong muscular sportsman, the first idea people get is that you were kind of "not-man-enough" for her.
And he is a well-known person. I think, in purpose to "save the face" many people on his place will defend themselves pretty much the same way!
But he is a professional bodybuilding fotografer, not a naive school-boy. He supposed to know something about whom he married, something about this sport! At least something, everybody knows: this sport (on a top level) is all about using some "additions" to food!
But maybe she did it in such "unhuman amounts" that he could not afford it?
Let`s see.
This is a forum of "romantics". But speaking openly, we must agree, that, if we look closer, even in most of the cases which are traditionally presented as a combination of big muscles and femininity, we shell find a deep man`s voices, traces of hairs in a wrong places and pretty bad skin under layers of tonal cream.
But not in a case of Elena. She is a true LUCKY EXEPTION!
Does not matter, what anybody will tell about her, she will still look like an Angel! And Angels don`t need anybody`s defence (including this post) - mud can`t be sticked to them!
So, I can be mistaken, of course, but everybody is free to decide for himself - to believe such "rumors" or not!
