No, either do actual replacement if it is an option ( decreased levels). it's called Biote. And it will work. DHEA is garbage and IMO doesn't work, unless you're trying the old " bought a supplement at GNC/Walgreens/Walmart/Amazon" story.
Aaron Brooks fails drug test/suspension

You are making my point. You are welcomeNot afraid to say who I am and own what I say but nice try
Imagine what you could do without it.
There's been accounts of people who smoked into their 80's. I'm not doing that either.

I appreciate your concern, but that wasn’t particularly compelling.
I don’t drink that much and my bra size hasn’t changed.
A powerlifter in June was suspended 4 years on his first positive for DHEA
Mama, I D-H-E-A’d
Put a mug into my hand, chugged a liter, now I’m banned
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not on th’ mat this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on
as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooooh …

That's one of the cases I mentioned above. In-competition with no underlying health issues.
The other cases < 4 yrs all mentioned some degree of self-reporting and/or aiding with the investigation. This case mentioned neither, so it's probable that he resisted the investigation and got punished for it.
All of which are not comparable to Aaron.
2-4 years it will depend on if they believe his story. Not sure his health issues will matter.
Remember when Ryder transferring was like the worst possible offseason news? I miss those days.
I wish the world was so black and white. What is black and white is the rulebook and accompanying app along with mandatory training on self discovery of what you are putting into your body. They do that so someone can't say, "I was sick and took some meds". You and I can say that. Aaron cannot.
It can take some time for USADA to reach a decision on a penalty. And there's no set time from start to finish, in which the process will be completed. Nomad just periodically checks the USADA website, where they show how cases were decided, to see if there is any news on AB's situation. So far there has not been any, so he periodically tweets out the message about which you're asking.
It means Lobdell is seeking attention.
Highly unlikely that an Olympian's status would officially change without some notification, press release, etc., from USADA or USA Wrestling or NLWC, etc.
Is that line about the NLWC true? I saw elsewhere he wasn't allowed to train in USAW facilities or with members of Team USA. Is NLWC considered a USAW facility? Who counts as being on Team USA? Age-level teams count? Obviously, you guys have a bunch of those walking around on top of the senior guys.
3 years for Brooks.
2nd offense. No matter what the excuse, the blame lies solely on Aaron. Can't cry about the punishment.
That'll take him out of this Olympic cycle unless it's backdated. May as well move on to new ventures at this point.

Apparently, it is backdated/retroactive, so he would be available right before 2028 trials
That's pretty standard for USADA/WADA. You can't be signed to a team and you can't use national team/trade team facilities.
Hopefully this will serve as a wake up call to him (and other) athletes. You are responsible for what you put into your body. Consult a reputable physician, regularly, if you have any questions at all about anything, ever.

Yeah.. the reality is he got no unfair advantage using the product he used but with the history of the first time and the ADD med.. it was just a bad mistake and they were gonna hit him pretty hard with it..
It also hurts that he acknowledged he was using it for performance enhancement. His mistake was not knowing it was banned. That's his responsibility and not one UWW was ever likely to take lightly.
I wonder if NLWC will fund him during his suspension? Are they even allowed to as a USAW affiliate? That's a long time to pay someone who can't train in your room or compete.
I believe he popped in April so 3 years could mean he can't compete at 2028 trials and even then, it's very tough for training if he's not allowed at NLWC (though people say there are ways around it)
It's a shame but he did it to himself, an accident or not.
He's young and can easily go until 2032 if he wants but wouldn't blame him if he moved onto other things.

Well, I came to the board with several questions (because I admittedly haven't thought about the situation much) and nobody had posted anything yet.
Honestly, haven't been thinking about wrestling much lately. Saw this while I was checking for Bears roster cuts updates lol.
Would this suspension extend to MMA? I have to imagine he's a pretty enticing prospect and someone would be willing to throw some money at him to lure him away from wrestling.
There's pretty easy ways around the training partner situation, though a bit of a headache of just all being allowed at NLWC.
I'm 99% sure Daton Fix was training with Ok State guys during his 1 year suspension even if it wasn't at Oklahoma State facilities.

For the record, arbitration/appeal has not happened yet. This is what USADA handed out based on the facts (2nd pop and a "masking agent" and the story AB presented to them)
Will it get reduced? TBD (probably not likely) but right now this is the worst case scenario we're talking about.

Which is barely helpful to him, unless he can figure out a viable training program outside any RTC.
Unless he appeals and gets it knocked down, he's not participating in 2028 OTTs.
He can't train at any national team or RTC facilities or with any other elite athlete or coach. He can't roll around with Jake Varner on a mat in a barn at Cael's house.
If he CAN appeal the suspension length and get it knocked down, he could come back. But he'll have to figure out if that's worth the time and money.
What a monumentally dumb decision. He not only killed his wrestling career but almost certainly destroyed any possibility of coaching.
