Aaron Brooks fails drug test/suspension

[manatree]

It sucks, but the blame rests on him.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Man that's a big oof. Not much else to say.

 

[CarolinaFan1]

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.



NLWC is listed as a USA Wrestling RTC on USA Wrestling web site so pretty sure he would be prohibited from training in the room unless something changes.

I assume you can train in local HS gym or similar space (M2 facility?) and suspect local places would be very accommodating.

Not sure who constitutes any partners “who are on team USA” in any manner. Could be fairly limited number of people if just current team members or coaches. If so he could find adequate training partners. People smarter than me probably know more on this piece.

Really dumb thing to do.

thank you, it's not easy.

Try being a Cowboys fan....

Try being a Cowboys fan....

Kind of like being a Hawkeye wrestling fan. Every year it is just wait until next year and every next year ESPN features the Cowboys daily until the Cowboys are 6 weeks past being eliminated and for the Hawks it is Flo and Pyles explaining into April how this year is the Hawks' year.
Pure joy and entertainment.

JTS basement

Right? I don't think the Uncles are on the list of people not permitted to train with Aaron.

 

[PSUeng]

Right? I don't think the Uncles are on the list of people not permitted to train with Aaron.

So could he work out with Bo at his facility with the appearance that it is for MMA?

 

[jayridescarbon]

Long suffering Mets/Jets fan here.

 

[ClarkstonMark]

He could work out at Bo's facility and no need for appearances.

 

[vhsalum1]

He could work out at Bo's facility and no need for appearances.

But not with anyone who has a USA Wrestling card

 

[WPIALBrwnPSU]

I'd take the lifetime ban from USADA behind door 1 over the door leading to JTS's "training" basement !

 

[PAHURDLER]

thank you, it's not easy.

Could be worse, you could be an Iowa wrestling fan.

 

[5q]

Thats super long
Can he appeal that?

 

[PennState1985]

JTS basement

Is he good enough to roll around in JTS' basement? I'm saying no. Close, but no. Being an Olympic medalist is no guarantee of a training partner in that basement.

 

[District 4]

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.

Why don't you ask them

 

[GregPickel]

Thats super long
Can he appeal that?

Yes.

 

[PSUbluTX]

@js8793 LOL how you're the one to be the one to bring this news..

.... I admittedly haven't thought about the situation much

 

[SkiSkiSki]

Right? I don't think the Uncles are on the list of people not permitted to train with Aaron.

Not since Aaron turned 18 anyway.

 

[VakAttack]

....I would have to guess M2 is off the table, lol.

 

[El_Jefe]

Right? I don't think the Uncles are on the list of people not permitted to train with Aaron.

They're on a list of people not allowed to train with anybody.

 

[PSUer89]

Is this a USA suspension or an international one? Could Aaron find some international training partners for a few years?

 

[js8793]

He couldn't put a wrestling room in his basement and invite Carter/Snyder over to scrap?

 

[js8793]

No.

 

[PennState1985]

How is that related to Iowa?

 

[Dogwelder]

God gives his toughest battles to his strongest warriors.

Is that what people say when they lose?

 

[Goggles Paisano]

Three years is an eternity, 50/50 he can resemble what he would have been after that long of a break. Tragic.

How many here would be happy with Bo dumping MMA and coming back to freestyle full time to help fill the void? To be denied two of our best ever just doesn't feel right, heck while I am at it, add Nolf as well.

 

[Misalorales]

Ouch. Guess I was expecting two years and that it would end up decent for him with nearly a year to come back and prep. Poor and/or rash decisions occasionally have consequences. No one's else fault but his.

 

[PAHURDLER]

[Dogwelder]

Then how come Penn State has no real competition?

 

[Fred8811]

Dang.
