Not sure hydration has that much to do with it. The new weight certification rules require that wrestlers be completely hydrated when determining their minimum weight, or they come back later for another attempt. Hard to fake the specific gravity of your urine. Sucking excessive weight shouldn't happen anymore, so sounds like a combination of things. I'm with the crowd that wants to see Chance succeed, except against our guy.
Yes, and even better if his RS is pulled he will beat Nolf sometime this season. Now you have something to talk about!
This might explain some posts around here.
For some reason this reminds me of Onterrio Smith and the Original Whizzinator.
well, unless they are specifically watching the 'sample' being given.... even HS kids water down their urine one way or another and HS is even more strict...
Nolf will leave that Cowboy dead in his tracks along the dusty trail as well.
Sorry, not buying it. The protocol is tight and the consequences for falsifying this stuff is too great to take a chance.

What are the consequences? Honestly curious as I've never heard of a punishment being handed down. I know for a fact that this happens at the lower NCAA levels.
so what exactly is the protocol? I do know that some of these kids don't have a lot of body fat so certifying just a few pounds below could be difficult if fully hydrated. All I'm saying is - how easy is it to switch samples when you're giving them.... what is the supervision like? I know is HS it isn't difficult (maybe depending on what State you're in)
All I can speak for is Penn State...does anyone really believe Cael & Co. cheat?
The Wrestling Weight Management Program document is about 55 pages long. Here's 2 bullets;
that is what I was asking about - the witness part. Now, purely from a devils advocate view - maybe it is watched over like illegal immigration...
I said it just to get a response from somebody because I was getting lonely. I can't wait for them to meet because I think Nolf is really good and it will say where Joe is.
Won't make any difference at all. Can't see too many kids looking at Smith's Olympic medals, his national titles, his recent results with Dieringer and Perry and Oliver, then concluding "but Marsteller didn't do so well."
I think that was only done in the Iowa army. Never heard of such a thing during my tour in the US Army.
Didn't know Iowa had an air force. Were the planes hand held?We are both Air Force. They probably didn't do drug testing in the U.S. Army because it would seriously hurt retention rates...they probably figure 1 of 2 of you all are high anyways so why bother.
I'm not gonna say you probably broke the sound barrier, as that would get us way off topic.
What hurdle? Do you really think Spencer Lee or Gavin Teasdale or Sammy Sasso or Seth Janney are worried about that at all?
Of course not. Chance hasn't failed has he? We'll see how it plays out with Chance. When it comes to big time recruiting (or any recruiting) it's a sales game. Sometimes negative recruiting works, sometimes it doesn't. Let's hope Chance turns it around and it never becomes a negative selling point. Chance is a great kid.
Thank you for your serviceWe are both Air Force. They probably didn't do drug testing in the U.S. Army because it would seriously hurt retention rates...they probably figure 1 of 2 of you all are high anyways so why bother.
