WWE suspends 10 for drug test violations

Shocked?......I didn't think so!

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- World Wrestling Entertainment has suspended 10 performers for violations of a policy that requires drug tests, the company said Thursday.


Stamford-based WWE says it issued suspension notices based on independent information received from investigators from the Albany County (New York) District Attorney's Office.

WWE spokeswoman Jennifer McIntosh would not identify the performers or specify how they violated the policy. She referred other questions to the district attorney's office, where a message seeking comment was left.

Under the wellness policy, which requires tests for steroids and other drugs, a wrestler faces a 30-day suspension for a first violation, a 60-day suspension for a second violation and firing for a third violation.

In June, pro wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife and young son and hanged himself. Investigators say Benoit had a steroid and other drugs in his system at the time.

Earlier this month, WWE officials met with New York prosecutors investigating illegal steroid sales.

At the time, McIntosh confirmed the meeting but declined to comment on what was discussed.

The way the law is in NY (don't know about other states) a person can buy up to 10 syringes OTC without a script. You would not believe the number of kids we have that come in to do this where a work part-time in retail.

Just by looking at these guys you can pretty much tell what they are using them for. I understand the original intent of the law, but I really think that it should be revoked.

Steroid psychosis is a very scary thing.
