Freestyle wrestler Mike Zadick (Solon, Iowa/Gator WC) has issued a statement concerning the announcement today from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency:
"I have had an injury and was given the drug Kenalog from my physician to help the healing process."
"The proper procedure is to fill out a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption). I was legally able to take the drug, but it had to be documented properly by filling out the TUE first. I have been educated about the proper requirements now and have learned from the situation."
"I support USADA 100 percent and I know their work is to keep all athletes on an even playing field. They want to make sure everyone is a pure, hard-working athlete. That is exactly how I pride myself."
