Penn Wrestler Caught Using PEDs
- Thread starter The Pitchfork Rebel
- Start date
I missed your reply to Iron Hawk saying the same.
No he said Swisher was out of state college PA and hes in Wharton business school in Philadelphia
That guy is an idiot and hope he gets sued. Someone said they were gonna check on him the other day and I said no don't maybe it's his time. Everyone is on steroids besides his team he's ridiculous
Dude, for crying out loud, turn up your sarcasmometer.
Last year, after Kasak whipped his overrated Ivy behind, Shapiro claimed Penn State was on steroids. I don't know whether he was channeling his inner spoiled child or having post-concussion issues, but he made accusations that were apparently based only on him not beating Kasak. Listen to the announcers of the match and their Ivy superiority complex. I'll be rooting for Root in the first round.

I know it was sarcasm guess you missed where I said make a joke whatever. Still doesn't change what I said
Swisher started in State College, then wrestled for Bellefonte his last couple of years.
Yep, he's a Red Raider, as is his little brother (haven't heard if he's chosen a college to attend, but I think he's a decent wrestler too).
What is the current status of the YouTube guy? Because he's disgusting and full of ****. That YouTube channel absolutely knew what it was doing.
You would be correct, what you said is still much ado about nothing.
He's still up and running. Not sure who's all settled and who hasn't. It's all public I haven't looked in so long. I know some have issued public apologies to him which was probably something in the ruling that they had to do
Ya I'm sure it is. Thankfully I'm an absolute nobody who can only State his opinion based on what I saw when I looked into what all the fuss was about.
I missed out on this if the entire story isn't too seedy I would like to know what happened.
I lost all respect for Shapiro after that interview. I actually felt bad for him. Someone from the team, or the AD, should have never let that interview happen.
Whoever approached him for the interview may have caught him at a bad time. That's one situation any good athlete has to be prepared for at a major sporting event. With a little forethought, Shapiro may have chosen his words a little more carefully. He was probably still mentally winding down from losing to Kasak and could have fired off some words that he regretted later.
Young guys aren't exactly known for their restraint or discretion, but there's really no way to say what he said by choosing his words better and actually, it was well thought out, casting general aspersions insulates one from charges (in civil court or the court of public opinion) of slander. If he regretted it, he could have said so.
If somebody caught me at a "bad time". I might reflect on his flexibility, slight build and emotional reaction as if he's taking estrogen or he's not taking estrogen, "wink wink, it’s just crazy,”

True, but all these guys at postseason tournaments get interviewed immediately after stepping off of the mat and I have never heard anyone else throw steroid accusations out in that format. It was a really, really bad look on Shapiro’s part and if his coaches were anywhere near that interview when it happened, they should have nixed it promptly. He seemed mentally unstable and his coaches/AD/PR people, etc should have probably declined the interview on his behalf.

Cornell seems catty to me. I think they thought they were going someplace a few years back but Cael kept on rolling.
Man when I read the title and saw so many responses, I clicked the post so fast, because my mind threw in “State” after Penn. My heart sank for a half second.
I'm thinking of the old SNL skit...steroids are like vitamins, only better.
YOU NEED TO HIT THE WEIGHTS, HARD!!!!!!
