Yes, unlike the Draft Kings shenanigans, every detail of that 7/11/1804 meeting had been worked out to guarantee plausible deniability for all the attendees. The attending doctor even looked away from the duel, so he couldn't be an eyewitness.
Duels were a bit illegal Saying you were going to a duel could have gotten one in a bit of hot water, but calling it a simple "interview" would not have drawn any undue attention.
I believe he meant it, and will prob not take one.
But man, look at that Oly team qualification schedule for anyone wrestling NCAAs, especially with the Pan Am qualifier at 57 Kg!
That is if Nelson is telling the truth about missing that meeting. No guarantee that he is being honest.
Regardless: He knew the rule. It may be a stupid rule, but he violated it and received the prescribed consequences.
That's because it is cold outside, and the Winter Olympics embraces outdoor activities. Look at the list of sports. Basketball played inside too, also a summer Olympic sport.
Bro... ever hear of context?
I was responding to a dude who said PSU wrestlers would never be involved with gambling because it is a sin. I brought up Nickal, and have said elsewhere in this thread that I don't have an issue with it. Nor do I have an issue with the punishment.
Thank you in advance for your apology, sir!
You would hope, but this is precipitous. Worse than Freestyle. Also, other nations look to have improved.
Losing a few years of their athletic primes won't help either. Covid and now this.
I am all for rule questioning, but it is the rule at the moment, and he knew it.
Wish these guys were eligible, and I think they got a bit of a raw deal, but I understand.
