No we won’t the Panthers are cemented in every wrestling fans memory. We won’t shock anyone by winning team state.

That's unfortunate timing for him but you miss all the shots you don't take. The MMA route might be better for him. Or just wait a year and return, not like he's getting old. I don't love TUEs because they can be a loophole for PEDs (which adderall definitely is hence why you need a TUE). But I'm not a doctor and if the diagnosis/TUE is legit then fine by me. Weird no statement by the UWW though.

I guess you saw Steveson had been re-signed to the WWE and had more appearances. But he wasn't successful at developing a following and he was just released from the WWE a few days ago--too late to cycle off of WWE special sauce, train, and compete at Olympic trials. No word on if he'll try to get signed with another professional wrestling show or possibly go an MMA route. The substance Brooks tested positive for was adderall--the same stimulant prescribed for ADHD that Simone Biles was taking that became a news story. Both of them have prescriptions, but Brooks didn't file for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). If he has ADHD, a stimulant like that doesn't interact with his brain in the same way to provide "enhanced" focus and performance like it does for a non-ADHD brain. That's why they allow a TUE. But it's admittedly very, very irresponsible, at best, not to apply for a TUE--and obviously is cheating if he doesn't have a verified ADHD diagnosis.

Have to imagine Dake will do something similar after Paris. Changing of the guard. Any idea why no news about Gable returning to compete at 125kg? Odd that he returned to compete at Worlds last year, pulled out last minute, then we never heard from him again.

David Taylor was announced as the head coach of Oklahoma State late last night, I think his competition days are now over.

Damn. At least Americans can stop acting holier than thou and blaming PEDs every time they lose to an Iranian or Russian wrestler. Seems weird to give DT the place if Brooks is suspended given DT went 0-2 in the trials. What about Valencia? He should probably wrestle DT to determine who gets the place if it comes to that, he was robbed against Brooks to begin with. But Twitter talk is that the Brooks side is confident they will be able to compete. Presume Brooks passed all the tests since U23 worlds last year.

Oh- the reign of Aron Brooks as the goat hopefully won’t come to an early termination.

There are reports that Aaron Brooks tested positive at the U23 for substances that are legal, but need to be reported. his attorneys are trying to sort this out. If they fail, Taylor may compete in the Olympics after all.

I have t been making any rounds to any practices of late. With that said… I may have to go to Cobra to see this man. I’m telling you… he has the best quickness that I have ever witnessed in real life. It’s something you have to see in person to appreciate. If you have a solid high school or middle school wrestler… get them there!!!!
