Yazdani is right. wrestlers bring these greens from places that Imams dhrines or tabernacles are. After prophet Mohammad, Shia muslims have 12 Imam who continue prophet way 1400 years ago. Only one Imam is buried in Iran(Imam Reza). Most of their shrines are in Iraq.
athletes believe these greens help them to win and gave them power. actually it is mentally doping!!!
