CP and Nomad broke the news this week that UWW officials conspired to fix matches at the 2016 Olympic Games. UNI head coach Doug Schwab is one of the few high-level coaches willing to speak out about the events that happened in Rio and some of the things that he witnessed when he was on the senior circuit. 

Dan Lobdell (@WrestlingNomad) is one of the people who puts together a lot of the numbers implicating the UWW officials. He sounds off on what a lot of those numbers mean.
