My next door neighbor is a scientist for USADA. I asked her about this scenario earlier this week. Her response was a bit clearer than AB’s; the national federation (after consultation with USADA) can grant someone permission to compete if they believe there is a high likelihood that the athlete will be cleared. It seems that USAW (and maybe USOC) was provided enough information to make the decision that he should be allowed to participate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you have another source of information that contradicts this? He didn’t have to do this interview or agree to answer this question so I’m guessing he has a good idea what the outcome will be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aaron Brooks appeared to imply that it was DT who leaked the story to Mineo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Zero. None of them would wrestle for him, now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like Brooks will be good to go. Also, sounds like DT is a snake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's never too late in life to learn and improve.

Penn State wins 7-3 if Lilledahl goes. Lilledahl beats Spratley. Cannon at 133 dies a thousand deaths. There's a reason he's in the portal, and it's because he wants to go 141, and Sergio Lemley exists. Jamison isn't on the level of Bartlett. Alirez better be able to go 7min with SVN. I could see him get a big lead and then get absolutely melted in the last period. Parco gets smashed at 157 by whoever Penn State throws out. Fish gets smashed by whoever Penn State throws out. 174 Hamiti wins, unless Starocci says down. Plott wins over Barr, unless Starocci can't get big enough and stays at 184. Then he loses. If Starocci goes 197, he beats Carroll handily. (OSU wins the two weights that Starocci doesn't go). Kerk beats Hendrickson handily.

AJ Ferrari took an OLY shirt with no intention of ever participating in OTTs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Parco is a great wrestler but he’s not in the KOT beating David Carr realm. He’s not a U20 world champion running into another U20 champ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You realize SVN is 2-0 against him, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As someone who uses PayCom for work, f*** that guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Uh, they skipped their senior seasons to train at NLWC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would be kind of funny if Coleman Scott ended up at Penn State if Jimmy Kennedey heads to Stillwater.

He was in the corner for a couple of HS kids at U20s recently. Seems to be a well-liked guy.

Yeah, no. PJ Duke and Luke Lilledahl signed their NLIs yesterday, with the possibility of Taylor going there still up in the air. I doubt that either of them particularly cared about that. They want to be trained by Cael Sanderson.

Willie confirmed what CP said. So, apparently something changed since they both got their info. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s quite interesting that USADA or WADA didn’t inform USAW or the NCAA. Also, they tend to announce these things. “Joe Smith returned an AAF for weed at the Half Pipe World Championships at Telluride. The case has been referred to the International Snowboarding Bro Federation.” If they returned an AAF, AB would be suspended and not eligible to compete until resolved. So, either no AAF was returned or the situation was resolved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why would DT be made aware of it? Brooks hasn't been provisionally suspended by UWW, nor has WADA or USADA made any announcement, at all.

I think Barr can be a low AA a couple of times but I think he (and Facundo) might find find himself replaced if he can’t find his offense, and soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct. Assuming he hasn’t messed himself up physically in pre-WWE, he could very well come back and make multiple Olympic teams. Maybe this will light a fire under his ass and he’ll light up Zare/Massoumi in 2028 for, and in front of, the good ol’ US of A. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The KOT who lost to David Carr gets wrecked by a healthy Starocci at 174.

Unfortunately for Iowa, the youngest is still planning to go to Iowa and his family appears to be moving there with him. To include AJ and Fredo. So, like a shadow, he's always going to be there. AJ will jump at any opportunity to be relevant, in anything. If Beth Goetz moves to another school to be their AD, gets fired, or leaves for any other reason, Tom Brands will do his best to bring AJ in. He's desperate. He can't coach his way to beating Penn State, and there are only so many athletes they can buy, so this is the next best thing.

Again? From Purdue to Oklahoma to...where next?
