LJB 2,093 Report post Posted September 8, 2020 3 minutes ago, wrestlingphish said: Well if I worked for Okie State’s athletic department I’d have a few questions such as... Has Chris ever recommended anabolic steroids to another athlete’s parents? Has he recommended them to an athlete? Does Chris use anabolic steroids while working out at OSU’s facilities and training their athletes? Has Derek possessed or used anabolic steroids while using campus facilities? if OSU has any regulations against their coaches supplementing then it is a fair question... if they do not, then it is just being silly... and derek is not just an "athlete's parent"... he is the RTC coach...

The suspension was disputed which triggered an arbitration under AAA rules, three member panel. Just like criminal trials, if you as a defendant throw enough money at it and make prosecution very expensive, then an organization with a limited litigation budget will seek a resolution that allows it to keep a modicum of credibility. Three arbitrators through AAA cost about $1,500 per hour, then you gotta pay your lawyers and experts, they gotta pay their lawyers and experts etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AHamilton 1,026 Report post Posted September 8, 2020 I'm not sure about levels and picograms etc., but this substance seems to have a half-life of 24 hours which seems rather short. Can any chemist tell me if metabolites would clear from the body relatively quickly? 1 1 hammerlockthree and GranbyTroll reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you really not see why I'd like to hear more? I have nothing against steroids for recreational use, but they are a banned substance. One of the top guys in the country gets popped for a PED that one of his coaches recommended to his dad (if you give Daton the benefit of the doubt on his story). 2 coaches at one of the best programs in the country using, or at least familiar with, not just a steroid, but a steroid designed to help maintain muscle mass while losing weight. And this program also happens to be the most notorious weight cutting program in the country. And many of their wrestlers end up fighting at weight classes way above their college weights. You seem to have a very weird obsession with protecting authority from any sort of questioning. 2 madcat11 and Eagle26 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Derek Fix will want to focus on his roll as RTC coach. If so, his culpability is greater. He put an athlete in jeopardy by failing to secure a banned substance and failing to inform the athlete of the presence of a banned substance that the athlete had ready access to. In the findings they only refer to Derek Fix as Mr. Fix's father. I think that is intentional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About as odd about his steroids working its way into his son....

I’m not sure if I believe it or not... i have had a relationship with that family in the past and none of this makes me feel great... What I heard right when it all was going down was that uncle john was pissed and if Daton did not get 100% exonerated he would not be allowed back in the OSU room... who knows if that will be what happens... none of the other stuff I heard turned out to be true either, so, grain of salt stuff... but, uncle john is a scary dude who does not play... I bet this is not the end of the fallout... 1 1 Wrestleknownothing and hammerlockthree reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJB 2,093 Report post Posted September 9, 2020 I believe Derek and john were roommates in college... I think that is true... I might be making it up... point being, they are pretty close and have been for a long time... I can also say that while I have never actually seen Derek show technique, I have heard plenty of his coach talks and he will make you want to put on a singlet right now and run through a wall... what is interesting is daton not signing until late his senior year when everyone knew there was no way john was going to let daton out of Oklahoma... there is little doubt that the RTC coaching position was part of that signing... 1 hammerlockthree reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a professional position, not a coaching position at an academic institution. And if you think this is a scandal just wait until you find out about AAU basketball coaches or baseball/ softball dads who move on to become D1 assistants with no degree.

LJB 2,093 Report post Posted September 9, 2020 accidental ingestion is always the excuse, but, has been proven many times to in fact be accurate... the problem lies with most of these supplements being made in a limited amount of facilities in china... a little bit of the good stuff left in the bowl from the last batch of crap being mixed in with an entirely different product... it's a thing...
