Aaron Brooks fails drug test/suspension
- Thread starter psugrad85
- Start date
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.
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?
He could work out at Bo's facility and no need for appearances.
I'd take the lifetime ban from USADA behind door 1 over the door leading to JTS's "training" 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.
Not since Aaron turned 18 anyway.
....I would have to guess M2 is off the table, lol.
They're on a list of people not allowed to train with anybody.
Is this a USA suspension or an international one? Could Aaron find some international training partners for a few years?
God gives his toughest battles to his strongest warriors.
He couldn't put a wrestling room in his basement and invite Carter/Snyder over to scrap?
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.

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.
Then how come Penn State has no real competition?
Deadlift U. bears the burden of getting off bottom.
You are weak of spirit. Not surprising from a bunch of CHEATERS!
Maybe, but I wouldn't get too optimistic just because notorious shitposter Lobdell posted some semi-analysis.
Here is the USADA suspension database -- search for wrestling in the box just above the table:
Sanctions - Anti-Doping Violations | U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA)
A list of all anti-doping rule violations / sanctions issued by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in its history. Includes athlete & coach sanctions.

Historically, 24 wrestlers were suspended. At least 10 are not comparable to Brooks (similar to below).
But: only 7 since 2020. Of them: 3 were for not testing (like Gilmam). Oliver gor busted for weed.
So that leaves 3 cases in 6 years worth reviewing:
- Dombrovskiy 2020 = 4 yrs for a documented history of purchasing multiple banned drugs and then refusing to test during the investigation. He was already 30 at the time and possibly near retirement.
- Fix 2020 = 1 yr for
- Coleman 2022 = 2 yrs for DHEA
I'm not convinced any of these are comparable to Brooks.
Note: these are USADA suspensions, not USAW. It's lazy and/or disingenuous of Lobdell to only look at one sport and not even bothering to acknowledge this, leading people to draw unwarranted conclusions. USAW could add that on and hadn't previously -- but Lobdell doesn't state which body is banning Brooks from training.
Also note: USADA recently has been giving stiffer sentences . Oliver got a year more than the previous long weed bust among wrestlers. Gilman and Provisor got 6 months longer than any other wrestler who had simply not tested.
So while there's no apparent precedent (at leaat within wrestling) for Brooks' training ban, recent sentences appear to be setting precedent rather than basing on it.
Again: hopefully that part is overturned, but we probably should have no expectations either way.
Just want to say thanks for providing all this info. Best part of the forums and can't be appreciated enough.Maybe, but I wouldn't get too optimistic just because notorious shitposter Lobdell posted some semi-analysis.
