AJ Ferrari’s age-old beef with Penn State has been widely known to the community and fans. Ferrari has made some of the toughest enemies so far in all the years, and Carter Starocci from Penn State has been one of his rivals. The world witnessed the two engaging on social media, leading to an ugly fight. Ferrari has always been known for speaking his mind, and while the brouhaha surrounding their social media beef has kept us caught up, that doesn’t keep Ferrari from taking a stance for Penn State when it’s time.

Speaking of that, there’s been a lot of chatter around substance use in the wrestling community. Given Meyer Shapiro’s mention of steroid usage and Penn State’s dominance at the NCAA championships, there’s this obvious drawing of inferences that there could be some truth to Meyer Shapiro’s comments. Especially after Braeden Davis, Carter Starocci, and Levi Haines jumped weight classes. And while the pressure mounts, we see Ferrari again at it, with his free mind and stark opinions.

AJ Ferrari took to his X to hand in a word of support to Penn State’s Bo Nickal. Replying to the athlete’s ripped moment right from the field, Ferrari crushed the steroid assertions with a dash of sarcasm. Ferrari hails Bo and applauds the amazing genes that he has got, just like Ferrari himself, Greg Kirklevet, and other wrestlers from the community. He wrote, @NoBickal you were and are definitely on steroids lol – just like me and Greg Kirklevet and everyone else that has great genetics and puts work into their craft lol.”

Guess, that is what we call the ‘sportsmanship.’ Insecurity has no place when it comes to sports; it’s either supporting each other, pushing each other to a higher dimension, and appreciating the good in each other.

So, does it mean that ‘good performance’ always means ‘foul play’?

Age-old theories! You see. Look around anywhere and everywhere. Our nose tilts up every time we see someone doing good out of expectations, in short, outperforming. And that’s what we saw as Penn State threw a grand performance at the NCAA Championships under Cael Sanderson. Kicking things off with a statement performance. All 10 of their wrestlers punched their tickets to the quarterfinals after a stellar opening day, setting the tone for what’s shaping up to be a dominant run.

The wrestlers didn’t just make a win but actually racked up bonuses in an emphatic fashion! Standouts like Luke Lilledahl, Braeden Davis, Beau Bartlett, and Carter Starocci delivered a commanding win in their respective bouts. And pulling off that sort of game raised eyebrows, especially after Meyer Shapiro made the comments post-match. While Shapiro never pointed out anyone specific during the revelations, it incited a massive fire on social media. And now, spectators are in this dilemma, figuring out the truth of the claims.

What’s your perspective on:

Does AJ Ferrari's support for Penn State silence the steroid rumors, or fuel the fire even more?
