Personally, it's not a big deal to me either. However, when you know the rules, and you break them, you deserve the punishment. If it's against the rules for me to wear a red shirt to work, and I know that a consequence of me wearing a red shirt is that I will lose my job, no matter how ridiculous it is for me not to wear red (even though I look adorable in red ), I'm still not going to wear red.

Its not a big deal until you get caught for it. Bottom line is this guy is supposed to be representing our country and be a positive role model and he chose a different path. Just because he's an athlete doesn't mean he should get a free pass. Especially if this is the 2nd time. If it was your kid and he was busted for the 2nd time would you all be saying its not a big deal when they are hauling your kid away in handcuffs?

Wrestlers are supposed to be held to a higher standard amongst us and he blew it. It will be hard for me to support him if he continues to wrestle. My guess is, we don't see him come 2008. Too bad, because he is a nice guy and great wrestler but there is nothing worse in life than wasted talent and I believe he just wasted his.

joe's suspension was three years ,way too much for the little he did which would be a slap on the hand for any one else. hmm seems like some one is out for the guy.

its not a big deal to me either. So what if he broke the roles. Well if it was someone else i wouldnt care, but Joe Warren was one of the most exciting greco wrestlers out there. He would just hammer people. It was awesome watching him. By suspending him, i think the sport suffers more than than he does.

bingocech

yeah , but dont you think 3 years is a BIT severe

Gantry

Is the 3 years official? Link anywhere?

bingocech

yes from joe and christy , by the time its all done it will add to three years.

joe and the whole team went to cuba. joe will be suspended for three years! for something that others would get a slap on the hand for. but the usada lawyer bill bock , seemed to want to set an example with joe since this was his first case. His dad was a wrestler and he told Joe his dad would love him. bill wasnt so figure it out. bill bock sent a letterto Jim sherer with five very wrong statements that christy and joe susposedly made. hetold the coaches joe said they all smoked!! joe was offered a deal if he named names nothing would be done. obviosly he didnt, he got three years .joe of course is devastated and knows he was wrong. but maybe a little counseling instead would of helped. i am his mother in law.
