Steroid Accusations - why not take action if things are so obvious?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Some wrestlers and some fans say it is "obvious" certain wrestlers are using steroids.  If it is really so clear cut and there is hard evidence (beyond the fact that a wrestler has acne on his face or went up a weight class or two) what is stopping athletes, schools or even fans from taking action an notifying the NCAA and insisting they launch an investigation?

This is a honest question.  Some claim it's a "slam dunk" type of case, and if so, you would think we would see dozens of investigations with many athletes being punished.

I think we are stepping on our own dicks with this baseless internet speculation.  I insist we cut the crap.

Baseless?  Fix, Valencia, Oliver, Angle, Randlaman, Coleman, Lesner, Hendricks, Weidman, etc., etc.

Dude give it a rest.

It’s a part of sport as much as sunlight is a part of life.

Lesnar was big-boned - now cut the crap.

Where were them bones freshman year?  

[AgaveMaria]

Coaches. Maybe it is the Coaches?

Test Cael because it is obvious.

TheTerribleTwins - maybe, but it sure isn't helping.

Manning shows it with his hair and crazy sideline antics.

Then we have Ryan - probably hooked on them after the Hospital stuff. The power when he throws The Brick!

It was one line in a 13 minute/interview video...

I have no clue why PSU fans/former wrestlers want to keep talking about it.   The sooner this dies the better I would think.

I don't know why the tiniest of smoke keeps getting oxygen from the team allegedly accused.

Jason Nolf has said college wrestlers do not do steroids.

Why is Weidman mentioned here? Was he caught doping?

[lisa morales]

I was told to give it a rest so I need permission to respond.

Fix  yes

Valencia popped for non PED drug

Oliver - maybe, wasn't it ADHD medication with minimal performance enhancing benefits?

Everyone else is MMA or Pro wrestling guys with little evidence of being users in college (besides Lesnar's physique)

C'mon man, Fix simply popped the limit on GGG - generic garage-fridge gatorade ... nothing wrong with that.

What is stopping someone? Evidence. It’s that simple. The thing you need in order to investigate this is missing. There is simply no evidence to bring down Tyler Kasak as a steroid using cheat, which is what this entire conversation is about. A baseless accusation.

... but what about that single pimple on his back, are you gonna just ignore that evidence?

But the real question is for the good of these kids—does it have to be that way?
