Ringworm is a nasty thing that has been and probably always will be with the sport of wrestling. If a wrestler has any questionable markings on his/her body it is the responsibility of the wrestler/coach to provide documentation of the markings so situations like this do not occur. The rules are there to protect ALL wrestlers and the referees have that responsibility put upon them by the rules committee. I am sure they do not like to make that decision. If there is a questionable mark, it is better to be safe than sorry. The refs� are only doing their job. If you want to take it out of his hands, get the note from the doctor.
