Meyer Shapiro interview - he was in a coma for 3 days a month before the NCAA’s and insinuated steroid use from an opponent

That’s a really awkward interview. Maybe someone from the Cornell athletics department could have kindly ended it sooner.
Insinuating someone is on the juice is low class. Ncaa some of the top drug testing in the world.
Yeah. If the kid had a medical emergency, I feel for him, but he could use a lesson on dealing with adversity without blaming everyone else.
He has diarrhea of the mouth. A lot of that is the emotions of the tournament, coupled with him processing his recent health. Also the Cornell #FamilyNotFactory culture on display -- we're so much purer than everybody else, especially that factory in State College.
His health is the real concern from that interview. 3 seizures in a day, a month ago, when he'd never had one before -- but he's had concussion issues in the past, which are a high risk of electrical misfires. Hopefully he's OK, but it's something Cornell needs to watch very closely.
Add his comment "any other school would've sat me and then replaced me, but not Cornell because #FamilyNotFactory." His attitude was not "I'm grateful to be healthy enough to compete and thanks to Cornell for helping me" -- it was "I'm glad Cornell didn't get rid of me." That's a big difference, and not a good one. It sounds like he would resist someone stepping in like the evil factory did for Journey Brown.
I never heard him speak before, but the first few minutes I listened sounded very rambling… I wonder if he should have been cleared from concussion protocol.
Did he accuse a particular opponent of being on the juice?
Not directly, but reasonable to assume he meant Kasak if he meant anybody at all. #FactoryNotFamily is an inferiority complex about PSU.
It was toward the end of the interview, IIRC in the last minute.
It was a weird thing to say at all. I mean, why go down the "somebody's cheating" road at all, let alone specify steroids -- which domestically has been pretty much limited to the tinfoil hat conspiracy nuts for years?
that's outside of my scope. I'll notify @NateBauer of BWI, and see if he can assist, though it may be something that only On3 can handle.
I generally loved the video. Wrestling is hard, and in his case (tho apparently the Doctors do not yet know what cased his issues) he has gone though a lot. I am not of the opinion he should have been allowed to compete for his own health.
As to his personal judgements on others: I believe he is of God: and the Bible is clear: judge not least you be judged. Better to just Love One Another.

Well that's weird it changed on its own or someone did it lol.
Maybe because Kasak has some serious acne? It sounds to me like Shapiro's just acting out because Kasak is stronger.
Where Shapiro from? His name suggests he may have never had to deal with farmboy strength before.
Out on X/Twitter, Iowa guys are feeding into Shapiro's steroid frenzy with comments like "NO, REALLY?" from Alex Marinelli and "UH OH. SHOCKER." from Jacob Warner. Marinelli just walked his back. Talk about sour grapes.
CP called them out on FRL today, basically put your put out names and evidence or shutup.
I’m surprised that Alex commented. I always thought highly of him! Warner has sour grapes because Max Dean beat him to a pulp in Carver Hawkeye Arena and beat him again for a NCAA Title. It had to be steroids not superior coaching and training! lol……
Clearly there is some sour grapes nonsense being fed to kids at Cornell by their staff. Yeah, they a hurt over Dake leaving.....the whole family over factory comments. Like their coaches care more than our coaches.......complete ********. I feel for MS for what he had to go through......I hope they figure out what caused it. Seizures are nothing to F' around with.......my son has some when he was younger, ended up getting flown to CHOP and then again a few years ago as a 22 year old. We had weened him off the meds the first time through, now his his back on. We believe, with ZERO medical evidence, that alcohol exacerbates my son's situation. 1 beer limit. ( qualifier, my son had a TBI as an infant so his situation is nothing like MS's. ) Only wishing the best for MS going forward.
I don't know the NCAA protocols for drug testing, but a quick google search shows it is random and if you are hot, the testing frequency increases. Lots of links out there. I think it is mystifying: PSU always looks smaller, less sucked down, less defined than our opponents. Bo Nickal was noodle arms as a 3 time NC. And kids at PSU is abusing steriods?.
I feel sorry for people who are this bitter.

On3 tech support can help you. I got mine straightened out but you lose your record of history on the site.
