Those rules have nothing to do with religous beliefs. Those are the folkstyle rules with that states organization - WIAA. I do not believe they wrestle folkstyle in the Middle East. The wrestler in question may have to wait for feestyle and greco seasons - where and when beards are allowed. I do not think they would change the rules in Iraq for an American exchange student. The student may also need a birth certificate. If Iraq allows 20 year old high school participants and Wisconsin only allows 18 or 19 year old participants - should the WIAA change that rule? The person in question maybe could practice/help coach with the team and not wrestle folkstyle during the H.S. season and still be involved if they do not want to shave. Most likely - the school would need a ruling from the WIAA prior to the season.
