I was not going to get involved here due to the highly charged emotions involved, but I think that we are forgetting what this is all about-- the health of everyone that will be wresstlling after this young man on that mat, and on any other mat that someone who wrestled on that mat may have wrestled on, thereby transmitting the virus to it. Not too long ago a coach that knew his wrestler had herpes put him on the mat and now several other wrestlers that stepped up to that mat in good faith have that disorder-- for life. I think that whatever temporary honor the young man in question may have enjoyed had he been allowed to wrestle is eclipsed in its importance by the health of the other wrestlers involved.
