This entire thread has been about how Iowa is a bunch of cheaters, the wrestling team should be tested, and this is just another testament to the horrible culture over in Iowa City. My point all along is that while he may have used the cream without the proper forms, people are blowing this out of proportion.
I know, you're going to remain convinced that Zadick is a dirty rotten cheater, and Iowa is just a bunch of loser thugs, but seriously. What he did was nothing more than improperly filing a form.
If that's cheating, than I wonder how many people here have cheated?

If we were to take Zadick's incident outside the scope of the rest of what has been happening in Iowa City, I would be much more likely to give him a pass. However; if you were to look at this through the reality of the entire athletic department's recent history, this is on appearance more than a "non-story".
I have a real problem(as I would if it were to happpen in Ames) with this guy being a S&C coach where drug usage is a real problem-and still leading young athletes. Iowa's AD probably needs to make Zadick an example and fire him. Take the high road, and preserve the "integrity" of sport.
This is a real issue, and the guy is a "world class" athlete that got stripped of his medal due to the appearance of cheating-that isn't good, it is much more than a non-story.
