It's a joke. It's not just body-builders, but most athletes in general get classified incorrectly. It does not take into account the simple fact that muscle weighs more than fat, so anyone who is relatively fit gets classified as overweight or worse.

And I beg to differ about the elderly, our old people are way fatter than your old people.
