Zahid Valencia
- Thread starter PSU_Lion_Fan
- Start date
Not quite as recently as the last time Spencer got pinned.
My thoughts exactly, leave it to HR to blame everything on Cael.
But why would UWW be testing him for pot if it's not on their banned substance list?
EDIT: NVM. Pot is a prohibited substance.

The AZCentral story says ASU's odds of winning a team title in March will take a blow if Zahid is not in the lineup.
lol

I was really looking forward to AB beating Zahid man to man straight up. We might be missing out on one of the best matches ever this sucks
I don' think anyone has reached that conclusion. A few people on here have said it would be crazy if it were pot.
Truth be told this is both disappointing and unfortunate.
Zahid is a huge talent, and a champion. I am relieved (not the appropriate wording) that this seems to be a recreational drug fail as opposed to PED. I don't condone either but would have a much more visceral and negative reaction to PEDs.
A definite negative end to an pretty otherwise illustrious NCAA career, and I expect him to rebound and remain a future force to be reckoned with in international freestyle going forward.
I hope he can turn this into a positive motivator and refocus his lifestyle on the restrictions it takes to play on the world stage.

This will definitely help Penn State in the team race, but I feel bad seeing Zahid’s senior year & Olympic hopes go up in smoke.
Counter argument would be: he attends a school with many California athletes. Surely he has been trained every year about the risks in AZ and anywhere else outside CA.
That said, we don't know the exact substance yet.
You got some weird kind of Cael as a victim mentality brother.My thoughts exactly, leave it to HR to blame everything on Cael.
Maybe. He is a top contender for sure. At this point I think if Spencer and Cenzo run the table and win titles it will be close. You have a guy who went 1-1-1 with one year left and a guy who want 1-1-2-1 with an undefeated senior season. If Spencer wins four he wins the Hodge as a senior going away.
"We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... the sky was full of what looked like huge bats... We had two bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, 5 sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers, also a quart of tequila... a pint of raw ether, two dozen amyls... once you get locked into a serious drug collection the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me is the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge."
The lengths people will go to to avoid getting pinned by AB in March...
Maybe so, but is it also possible that you may lack a sense of humor?
Fear and Loathing?
Driving with a fly swatter was hilarious. Most everything after the desert driving scenes, regrettable.
How much credibility does Mineo get these days?
I's say this adds 0-8 points to PSU's total at NCAA's, so definitely a good thing.This will definitely help Penn State in the team race, but I feel bad seeing Zahid’s senior year & Olympic hopes go up in smoke.
Yeah but Pat Mineo is the Pat Mineo of social media. You can’t really go any lower.
Wow, it looks like Mat.com just took down and completely removed two separate threads on the forums (one in College and one in International) that were devoted to Zahid.
Censorship? Hacking? If they are trying to muzzle conversation, it is pathetic.

You should see how they handle Gable Steveson threads.

The article said indefinitely. He could be back on the team next week for all we know. It's not a done deal unless there are conflicting articlesThis will definitely help Penn State in the team race, but I feel bad seeing Zahid’s senior year & Olympic hopes go up in smoke.
TNT would spontaneously combust if that were to happen.
Mat.com is deleting every post that refers to Zahid's situation. Amazing. Are they run by someone in North Korea or Russia?
Pat Mineo saying that Valencia was allegedly using it before matches. Ya know, I thought he did that air guitar in the finals a little too hard.
