Interviewed_at_Weehawken

https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/5046031-is-russias-golden-boy-really-19 ... so his own social media is at least one source. We know that RUS has done this. Karelin himself has called upon his countrymen to stop the practice of age cheating. Yianni wrestled a 20ish year old in cadet finals. We know this because Vito was training in Europe with the wrestlers club. Frank Popolizio recounts how one year at his Journeyman international tourney, every Russian had exactly the same birthday. Year and day! This stuff has certainly happened in the past. If true Sad is like 2 years older than listed. Not a big deal, other than the end is coming two years sooner than anticipated.

The documentation appeared at some point, I can't remember how or where. It seemed to be pretty convincing. It doesn't take away from the amazing senior level career he had, but it does show that Father Time may have entered the chat.

Peeked at NIL offers that are coming his way? What's he peeking at? Like peek-a-boo?

Exactly.

Interesting spelling. Is that the original cyrillic? Infatuated? No so much, but let me explain: Peanut was commenting on how accomplished Sad is at such a young AGE. I'm basically saying: Not so fast, he is a documented AGE cheater. Won cadets and was 19-20 when doing so? This takes away nothing from his senior level accomplishments, but his does show that his window may be closing sooner rather than later, because they lied about his true AGE. The recent injuries, the Taz loss, and a 10-7 win over a guy whom Cardenas beat last year may indicate that his AGE may be causing a decline. Got it?

Because I was responding to Peanut? Did you bother reading that?

He is listed as an 18 year old by UWW. This means he is 18 until at least Dec 31st. UWW determines age by birth year.

https://dailyiowan.com/2021/10/07/university-of-iowa-womens-swimmers-reach-settlement-in-title-ix-lawsuit/ Article on the Iowa lawsuit. From reading the article, it seems as if the suit was mostly based on prong 1 (substantial proportionality). Iowa settled despite being within the OCRs established 5% "safe harbor."

Hopefully things have improved in the last four years. https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2020/03/27/major-title-ix-violations-identified-penn-state

You are 100% right. One of the problems with this, is the need to continuously add opportunities. "History" tends to only mean adding and improving within the last 3-5 years. If you added a program six years ago, that program probably doesn't count. I am not certain about how often PSU adds.

Even worse, it is my understanding that the IOC has youtube accounts (at least for some sports) with the coverage on it, but access is extremely restricted. Athletes cannot even see their own competitions. I have heard Judo players complain about this.

The percentage of women playing athletics at Penn State is way lower than the % of the school's female population. They are failing woefully at meet this prong. You only have to be failing at meeting one prong to get yourself in trouble with the OCR. I don't like this interpretation of the law at all, I'm just the messenger. (My uncle was the head coach of a non-revenue sport at a university. His program was cut, along with several others. It was cut in order for the school to be compliant with Title IX and also to save money. I became pretty aware of the unintended effects of Title IX between my uncle's dilemma and what was going on in the wrestling world at the time)

I can only speak for basketball. I have/had a number of contacts in and around one of the better women's programs. (I know a former trainer for the team, I know the brother of a hall of famer, and my daughter went to camp.) The first I was aware of these male practice players was probably around ten years ago, and they were counselors at the camp. They were officially managers, but practiced with the women on the team. "They are bigger and stronger and make us better" according to one of the faces of the team. I would imagine that really good women who weren't in the WNBA would be able to be a practice player, but good luck finding one who is better than a good man. The trainer told me that during a championship year, the head coach set up a scrimmage between the University men's intramural champions and the eventual women's national champions. If I remember correctly, the intramural team won by 30+. Testosterone and other hormones are really effective! Did this help at all?

They are not complying with Title IX.

I didn't cherry pick anything. The article is from "statecollege.com" and I even included the point that you brought up.

This is possible, but I don't think it matters when it comes to legality.

True, but they look very very bad otherwise. https://www.statecollege.com/articles/psu-sports/how-penn-state-and-its-number-of-womens-athletes-adds-up/ This is shameful. You think they win a lawsuit? Rebuttal? WHERE PENN STATE STANDS So, how does Penn State — led by VP for intercollegiate athletics Sandy Barbour — fare in total participation by sex, when benchmarked with the other 13 universities in the Big Ten? Not great. Here is an overview of where PSU stands in the Big Ten Conference regarding athlete participation by sex, based on each school’s 2019-20 EADA report: Number of women’s teams: Penn State has 15, second in the Big Ten (Ohio State has 19). Men’s vs. women’s teams: In the Big Ten, only Penn State has more men’s teams (16) than women’s teams. Number of female participants, counting male practice players as women: Penn State is ninth in the Big Ten, with 426. The leader board: Michigan (573), Ohio State (555), Wisconsin (465), Minnesota (452), Rutgers (443), Michigan State (438), Iowa (432) and Nebraska (430). Number of female participants, NOT counting male practice players: Penn State is tied for ninth in the Big Ten, with 398. The leader board: Michigan (530), Ohio State (522), Wisconsin (465), Michigan State (438), Minnesota (435), Iowa (417), Rutgers (414), Nebraska (405) and then both Penn State and Indiana, at 398. Discrepancy between male athletes and women athletes, counting male practice players: Penn State ranks 14th in the Big Ten, with the widest gap between male participants and female participants, at 114 — 540 male and 426 female (28 of whom are male practice players). Discrepancy between male athletes and female athletes, NOT counting male practice players: Penn State ranks 14th in the Big Ten, with the widest gap between male participants and female participants, at 142 — 540 male and 398 female. Discrepancy between the proportion of women undergraduate students and the proportion of women athletes (per #1 of the three-pronged Title IX compliance test), NOT counting male practice players — which I think is the fairest metric, because I do not believe the math that 1 male practice player = 1 female undergraduate student: Penn State ranks 14th in the Big Ten, with a 5.9% difference between female athletes (41.2%) and female students on the Penn State University Park campus (47.1%). Michigan ranks a close 13th, at a 4.8% difference. Even when Penn State counted male practice players as females, it still has the biggest gap in the Big Ten (3.1%) between female students and female athletes (28 of whom were really men).

Ha! Brooks laughs at you! Shows how little you know! It was Vyvanse, not adderall!

Yes, just like I said, and PSU has some of the worst discrepancies between male and female athletes in the B10. Seems a good lawsuit would be able to force their hand without much difficulty.

The "forever 49" club.

He's 28 like I am 39.

Almost no school is looking to spend more money than they have to. Iowa was pretty much forced into it by a lawsuit, and it likely could take the same thing to do so at other P4 schools. Further complicating things are all of the crazy factors in college sports today: realignments, NIL, etc. I would imagine few P4 schools are going to be adding more athletic programs until stuff gets a bit more settled.

Bellator fighter Valerie Loureda is now "Lola Vice." On the men's side, don't forget world Greco medalist G'Angelo Hancock is now "tavion Heights." Bobby Steveson had another name as well.

Maybe, but it could also be argued that he was at his best while also wrestling at Ohio State.
