Voice of the Quakers Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Would've been interesting to see if Yazdani would've been able to close distance on JB to utilize his underhooks. I have my doubts. 1 Dan McDonald, Penn '93 danmc167@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my doubts. Very interesting matchup. I like your analysis, By that point in their careers, I'm not sure how many guys like JB that Yaz had wrestled. JB had wrestled a ton of guys who tried to bully him into ties. I also like JB in the matchup due to his experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlingshoe Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Style match ups... Yaz's underhooks were more effective at stopping Goadisov's head butting and brawling. JB's attack from the outside had to go through Gadisov. Remember the blood and stoppages. I'm on the side of PEDs because Gadisov was not nearly that nasty previously.

I would favor JB in that hypothetical matchup, but no way 99% I agree that was definitely hyperbole. However, JB is undefeated in Gold medal matches, and has done really well against Iranians. He’s proven he can neutralize the under hook, so I think he’s a pretty heavy favorite in that match up… you are right though, no way it’s 99% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestle87 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Are we also going to say that all US wrestlers are squeaky clean? I dislike this assumption, since we so readily believe other countries will get saucy, shall we say. As support to our blindness, I offer Icarus and Carl Lewis. We definitely have a system set up to support our athletes in getting every vitamin possible, we are eager to pretend it doesn’t exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle26 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 No, we can’t say for sure that all US wrestlers are squeaky clean. But I’m pretty confident there’s no state sponsored doping program. That’s a huge distinction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingRasta Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 We definitely do not have 100% all squeaky clean athletes in the United States. We definitely do not have a sponsored doping system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neutral Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I am sure there are US wrestlers that cycled through PEDs. I have no idea who and won't speculate. It is just human nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Joe Warren, the baddest man on the planet, got removed from competition for PED. I think it was pot, but not sure. I believe Jordan Oliver also couldn't compete for something similar. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although these are also drugs that are commonly abused and may enhance performance) Don't forget Daton Fix and Dad's ostarene!

bnwtwg Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 The difference between Russia and USA steroids is the same as the economy: In Russia, everything in a person's day-to-day life is state-mandated. In America, everything in a person's day-to-day life is mandated by privatized companies. Both have athletes are that running hot. It's just a difference of how they arrive at the same endpoint. I previously used the Nike Oregon Project as an example. Sure, it wasn't state mandated but if you were anyone who wanted to be someone in track & field or distance running then you were at NOP and if they told you to put something in your body then you did it no questions asked. Just a difference of the mechanisms of capitalism versus authoritarian socialism. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that BBC link: "In 2010, Salazar became aware of a legal supplement that could boost levels of L-carnitine - which occurs naturally in the body and helps convert fat to energy - and produce a significant performance boost. The problem was it took about six months of drinking the supplement to notice any difference. Salazar didn't want to wait that long. UK researchers had devised a method to produce the same result by infusing intravenously the supplement using a drip, over four hours. Salazar wanted to test this, and Magness was to be the guinea pig. Reluctantly, he agreed and the results were instant. "Almost unbelievable," said Magness." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
