So stupid all around....both the athlete and the illegality of it all. I hope Zahid is allowed back for the NCAA championships.        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Alex Creech added to this discussion on February 20, 2020 Quote from Hank Kornblut's post: "Bong hit itis.

See Oklahoma State's forum. Hope it's not true.        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 Quote from Alex Creech's post: " Quote from Hank Kornblut's post: "Bong hit itis.

So are prescription medications.        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Christopher Henderson added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 It looks like prescribed THC is legal off campus, but not on a college campus or other school per 2012 law. Looks like Zahid should have been studying the rules to compete. Whoopsie.        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Jared Ball added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 Seems in both cases there’s a lot more info that still needs to come about. I’m curious why one athletic department would act swiftly and another school has been mum on the topic thus far. Sounds like there’s some real questions to be asked, especially about the Fix situation. In the immediate future I would think this is an extremely time sensitive situation with conference championships around the corner for ASU, and Pan Ams for USA wrestling. Was Fix suppose to go qualify the weight? Or was it Gilman? I couldn’t recall        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Alex Creech added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 Quote from Hank Kornblut's post: " Quote from Alex Creech's post: " Quote from Hank Kornblut's post: "Bong hit itis.

Whatever Hank, maybe you should block yourself from the forum.        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Rex Holman added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 https://youtu.be/cABZfkRcQ6A        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Brian Mathews added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 Quote from Jared Ball's post: "Seems in both cases there’s a lot more info that still needs to come about. I’m curious why one athletic department would act swiftly and another school has been mum on the topic thus far. " Reportedly (on Twitter, which I guess passes for reporting these days) this is Zahid's third failed test, and there is a firm three strike policy. It was ASU that removed him from the team. For Daton, for one he's not actively competing in NCAA competition. Second, if it's true that he tested positive for a banned PED, if there's any punishment it will probably come from the NCAA rather than the school. That was the case for the Clemson football players taking ostarine.        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 Alex: I'm sure I could have been more polite. But I stand by my point. We have had many laws over the years that were enforced in their day including the right to own slaves and the illegality of women voting. I think that the "it's the law" mindset can sometimes look rather silly in a historical context. We can drink and take prescription drugs but we can't smoke pot. Seems arbitrary. Now, its quite possible I am mis-informed regarding the drug for which he tested positive. Some info filtering out that this was a harder substance. That's a whole different issue.        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Rex Holman added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 Is cocaine a recreational drug or a PED? https://youtu.be/28stG3XylJQ Fearlessness, enhanced sensory system, antifatigue. Purely recreational <sarcasm> Are reactions excellent or Matrix like?        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Gary Lusson added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 Such a shame, throwing away the chance to be a national champ for a few snorts or a few puffs and a few hours of being high. What a poor trade. All the work he's done his whole life; the work of his parents, his coaches...what a waste. [sigh] If I would have had his body, his talent...but that's an old person looking back. It's true that youth is wasted on the young! :-) I feel bad for him, hope he gets a good degree from ASU and has a happy and productive life.        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 Gary: Good point. I feel the most sympathy for Zeke Jones. He worked tirelessly for years to build a powerhouse program and now, on the verge of getting a real payoff, his star makes a short sighted decision. Boom.        Discussion Topic: Zahid Valencia Fails (Non PED) Drug Test Justin Hayes added to this discussion on February 21, 2020 If he doesn’t participate in the NCAA tournament, who/what team benefits the most? Surely some chose a weight class above or below in part by considering Valencia the most likely to win.        ► Add to the Discussion Page 1, 2  Next
