PAC 12’s & Valencia
- Thread starter psuflyguy
- Start date
Seriously shocking, and damaging to the sport to have such a star not even compete in his final NCAA’s. It’s a pity, but the rules are the rules. I’m really curious about his eligibility at trials. It would seem they would need to decide one way or the other soon if they haven’t already.

Fine, as long as you can still test for recreational drugs that also happen to be performance-enhancing (see: e.g., cocaine).
Painkillers are much more performance enhancing than cocaine but yet I'm sure there are many wrestlers with opiod exemptions. I don't believe he was doing it right before matches. His sinuses would be clear tho.
Nothing confirmed except he failed some test from someone and is indefinitely suspended. Cocaine is the persistent rumor though.
Really? Widespread opiod exemptions in college wrestling? Perhaps I'm terribly naive, but I'd be surprised if this is true.
You might want to revisit Cocaine’s real value as immediate performance enhancer because it is real. Minimizing it is wrong at best.
Doesn't matter. Whatever Valencia took was on the prohibited list. He was responsible for not taking it, and held accountable when he did.
Jolt Cola, that brings back memories of pulling all nighters in the PSU computer lab back in the mid 80’s. Not good memories either!
^^ This. One can disagree with the rules, but when the words below, or similar, are on every drug/alcohol test protocol form/procedure/policy, it's impossible to defend a positive test from a "didn't know", or "it shouldn't be banned' standpoint.
"Any substance that is chemically related to one of the above classes, even if it is not listed as an example, is also banned!"
"It is your responsibility to check with the appropriate or designated athletics staff before using any substance."
If there's anyone out there who doesn't think cocaine is a performance-enhancing drug, LOL! LOL!

But what if ten Amazon vixens held him against his will and forced him to do drugs with them, and he doesn’t fight against girls because he’s a gentleman? Isn’t there a Ten-Amazons exception in the rules?
Sounds like an Archer episode.But what if ten Amazon vixens held him against his will and forced him to do drugs with them, and he doesn’t fight against girls because he’s a gentleman? Isn’t there a Ten-Amazons exception in the rules?

I could see this conversation now:
“Hello? Is the the compliance department? I know it’s early. This is Zahid. Well, you see...I don’t know how to say this so I’ll just say it. I’m in Rome and I just won this gold medal. I met 2 incredibly hot Italian twins in the piazza. They want me to go back to their flat to do a few lines and, well...you know. Do you see any problem with this?”

I'm one of the few (maybe the only?) people who like Shane Sparks.
I do too. I appreciate his enthusiasm for the sport.
