Nah why would I. You guys get things twisted I never find joy in others failures
"Recently banned" likely means items banned by WADA as of 1/1/2025 (since the list is updated annually).
Here are the 2025 updates:

John Brooks on what happened:
Looks like Aaron, early in his pneumonia recovery, had a brain fart and picked up OTCs in the store at Wegman's without checking the label vs the WADA list.
There will likely be aome suspension, but hopefully closer to 6 mo than 2 yrs because there was no competitve intent.
Also, hopefully Aaron stops buying OTCs in the store. Either stick with prescriptions, or at the very least buy online at home so he can take his time to check the ingredients list.

The substance will be released once his suspension is listed on the USADA website for suspended athletes. So we will all know what Wegmans is selling soon enoughJohn Brooks on what happened:

It feels like any athlete participating in a sport that tests for PEDs should be aggressively careful about taking anything that purports to āpromote optimum hormone levelsā considering the amount of testing that is searching for testosterone, a hormone. This feels incredibly foolish.
If you stop by Wegmanās, donāt leave without a Dannyās Favorite sub. 
HR? We know itās not Human Resources.
Itās probably Hawkeye related, but it canāt be Wrestlingā¦that starts with a āWā.
Hard to know where to begin with that explanation. The suspended road is littered with hormone-d carcasses. So is the road of alleged users. How does a hormone supplement/balancer even get considered? Feel like that word should be Lava and athletes can leap around on the furniture.
Hawkeye Report. Itās the old name for their wrestling forum. Corby is over there under the screen name west2east
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a supplement that promotes optimal hormone levels. It's sold at Wegmans and would be near the fish oil
. And its an illegal substance with the USADA.
Mostly agreed, "mostly" because this is too complicated. Don't think about the nuance of what might be tested for. Remove all thought from the process. Purchase only medicines/supplements pre-approved by the team doctor. No other sources, no substitutions, and no other considerations.
This is so freaking petty. AB is one of the most straight up men in the world. Word has it the DT is the person who was doing everything he could to get AB suspended. IMO this is so minor no penalty should be put on AB. I have a whole different mind set toward DT now. Heās doing everything he can to bring PSU down now. Makes me sick to my stomach for real. Oh well letās see how AB come back now. Gotta keep moving forward.
I know what it is. Itās simply ridiculous that a world elite level athlete with 5 years of college managed to wrap his fingers around it. Itās not like they arenāt fed a heap of info on the topic.DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a supplement that promotes optimal hormone levels. It's sold at Wegmans and would be near the fish oil

Just got a text with a screenshot looks like pitch fork rebel must've read my post here and took it to BWI .
And hear that backdraft and El jefe are crying im sucking the wind out of On3
. We are all talking wrestling and getting along just fineCorby your a diāk and everyone knows it. But since youāre having fun with issues with PSU , those other fanatics from okie st and iowa are loving you. Which youāre eating it up.
You might want to go read my posts about this situation. You obviously haven't.
What does this have to do with Brooks? Oh that's right -- nothing. But you can't help yourself.Just got a text with a screenshot looks like pitch fork rebel must've read my post here and took it to BWI .

Your actual wrestling content is typically good. Try sticking to it.
I can't help myself
you are crying about me on another board who can't help themselves again . You guys ever go read what Penn st people post on other boards . But I'm the boogeyman you guys are funny. Sorry I like wrestling and happen to know things and don't mind posting themAlso you guys are welcome that I solved the DHEA for you guys.
Corby you may actually be he a nice guy, i have never met you and unless you attend the PA state tourny may never met you. But I call my best friends diāk becuase they can be and so can I. You just happen to come across as one being a key board warrior. Growing up in the 60ās name calling didnāt get people butt hurt so much.
I've put Corby on ignore. The value he provides is far outweighed by the whining, defensiveness, eye-poking, prodding, insults, and other nonsense. It's a select club -- I've never even ignored Ironbird, because he at least provides entertainment value. Even Vodka gave us a bunch of running jokes.
Back to the topic that matters ...
Brooks "buying DHEA" conflicts with Mineo's assertion of a "recently banned substance." DHEA has been illegal since 1997. They can't both be true. I'm not taking sides here -- I'll wait for something more concrete than this speculation.
Born in 74 myself. Sticks and stones my break my bones but words will never hurt me. You guys think it's a 1 way street and it's not . So when I say something back I'm the d**k. Many of you must brush your teeth with your eyes closed . No way you guys can be looking at yourself in the mirror
Well Brooks agent has confirmed that was what he took and still has the bottle and the receipt. All this happened after I did a simple Google search that said promotes optimal hormone levels Wegmans. And I found that they had DHEA and it says those exact words on the bottle and the USADA ban it in 2004 I believe
What trend?
He had a prescription for Vyvanse. His problem there was: he forgot to bring the prescription to his test, so it needed to be confirmed. His competing at the Olympics meant it was confirmed.
AB is making too many mistakes. He either engages his brain and takes the rules seriously or not. I can't think of any other NLWC wrestler who has run afoul of USADA other than AB. And he has done it twice now. Thus my scepticism. He needs to do better. Multiple issues is certainly cause for skepticism, and that is on AB to clear up, and not for me to give him a pass.
Sticking to the facts is not giving him a pass.
Saying mistakes seems a bit harsh to me, AB got a bad rap for what i would call an oversight the first time no big deal . This one seems like a very small mistake and very unintentional . I can't believe there have been so many post on this.

I get what you guys are saying but AB needs to take responsibility for his failings. All I hear are excuses from him. I'm looking for him to do a lot better adhering to the rules. Two positives, no matter the reason, tells me that he is too loose with the rules. He needs to follow the rules strictly from here on out.
Be careful
. They will call you names. I agree you can't be buying a supplement at Wegmans without clearing it with the Dr or looking the substance up . Careless
