Here’s my discussion board investigative motives to match the dermatologists: aging in the college scene, broken down and injured, enhanced vascularity, and someone who’s broken other rules very recently. That’s a better of list of causes than Tyler Kasak’s face and Levi Haines moving up two weights. Maybe Warner and Marinelli can retweet that. Expand you're right. fair enough.

Said it was obvious. What evidence did he have other than he felt his strength and looked at him? Same thing here. And it's obvious our wrestlers are using too, if we can go head to head with nations that are obviously doping like Russia. To believe our guys can compete with roid raging Russians just cuz we like our steaks is naive and asinine. Lemme get some of Mr Kasak's home grown beef, doubt it drastically changes my hormone profiles like it did for Kasak and Barr. Expand Myself & @Le duke are the only PSU fans that I know of defending Kasak. And don't want to speak for him but I've been on the board long enough with Le Duke to hypothesize that he like myself disagree with what Nickal did. Years ago I was in a battle royale with fellow PSU fans defending Nelson Brands from accusations that he purposely bit Aaron Brooks. Some of us find baseless accusations insulting 3 I Don't Agree With What I Posted

I thought in the closing seconds of the match he was trying to get a turn for a major. Lovett grabbed his fingers, Shapiro got a little aggressive with the armbar, Lovett pushed him in the face as time expired, Shapiro explained himself to the corner, Lovett came at him, pissed off, but he and Shapiro talked it out, shook hands and moved on. Flash of emotion by both guys, mature reconciliation by both guys. I thought he was implying that they kept testing his kid so none of the full-time starters were at risk. I don't think Shapiro was accusing Kasak, though I do think he was generally implying that some people/programs are cutting with the help of steroids. Also implying that he'd need the boost to go 165 or to go down to 149 without sapping his own strength. He prefers to wrestle without the deep cut that is standard in wrestling, which is good for his long term health. Better for his long term health than repeatedly landing on his head, at least. Expand This interview was after the Kasak match right? If so, I do think he was accusing Kasak, but he has plausible deniability.

Mr. PeanutButter Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Upon further reflection, I regret my contributions to this thread. I think some discussion about PED use in collegiate sport needs to be had but I think my approach, and the general tenor that this thread has taken, was not the move. There is a lot of negativity in our sport (I think a growing trend), a sport filled with great people that should be celebrated, rather than torn down (best leave that to clowns like Rasslin2). I'm ashamed that, as time goes on, I've contributed to the negativity more and more. That's not something I used to do and not something I want to continue. College aged me would have kicked my ass for some of the things I've written. 3

Jimmy Cinnabon Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Hate to spoil the witch hunt but I recall several wrestlers (Kyle Dake was one) specifically ending post match interviews because they had to go take a drug test. So the idea that the NCAA doesn’t do any testing is absolutely false. 2 1
