Hard to believe all this. Cant wrap my mind around Freddie Mercury doing blow before his matches.
To be fair and bipartisan, nothing has been confirmed. The Arizona article quotes pat mineo as their source. If that’s the case and Arizona state is using pat mineo as the source could be why the mat is deleting threads, not to be asshats but because nothing has been confirmed officiallyMat.com is deleting every post that refers to Zahid's situation. Amazing. Are they run by someone in North Korea or Russia?
Willie’s headline says his NCAA career is done. I cannot read the article though.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 articles
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.

Spencer Lee for Hodge?
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.![]()

Understandable. But there is 1 dual left and 2 weeks before pac 12s, if this came out about a penn stater Cael would do the same thing. Willie says he is done for the year but has that officially come out. ASU is doing their due diligence on the matter before they take the next stepsIt also quoted Zeke.
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 hope that isn't the case, but if it is true then that move will forever be known to me as "flex, drugs and rock'n'roll".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.
At least Intermat and FLO are reporting it as news. Apparently, Mat.com is afraid of free speech. Who moderates their forums? Kim Jung-un?
I disagree. We lost 3 great wrestlers to tragic injury in one season and you don't see Iowa crying for us. I'll take the extra points however they come.I'm all for PSU getting ahead but hopefully it won't be like this. Also, AB upsetting Zahid at the NCAAs isn't entirely impossible. I'd definitely give him more of a shot than I would have given Max Dean against MyMar.
No, that's him. Since we have a real newspaper quoting Zeke I'm fairly certain the Zahid news is accurate, even if they also quote Mineo, but I'll wait and see with respect to Fix.Is Mineo the one who breaks bad information a lot as well or am I thinking of someone else?
It said indefinitely not that he was removed from the team roster completely meaning there are options.Understandable.

Mineo clearly has sources but he has no journalistic principles so he's often first out of the gate with news while others who found out at the same time are still attempting to corroborate it. And sometimes that gamble doesn't work out for him. Sometimes it does.

Maybe he is suspended till they do their own test? Who knowsThe ASU article simply said “indefinitely”. I’ll believe Zahid is done for good when I see it. Clearly there’s more to the story than what we’re getting on Twitter and the few short articles. For starters, I cannot see a public university like ASU (or the NCAA) using the results of a foreign administered drug test from an unaffiliated body as the basis for a suspension. That can’t be true, can it?? There’s got to be more to this.
