How much of it?
not sure about the amount of testosterone, but his wife was on xanax, hydrocodone, and hydromporphone, and his son was on xanax too. they could not test the son for hgh as they did not have enough urine.

The press conference has concluded and the results are in for the Benoit family toxicology reports. Georgia Chief Medical Examiner Kriss Sperry gave the details. First, a few hilights:
- All 3 of them had the anti-anxiety drug Xanex in their system . It was concluded that Deniel Benoit was sedated by the drug before his death.
- There were NO anabolic steroids found in Chris Benoit. He had elevated testosterone levels but that could be a result of many things. There was NO ROID RAGE.
Here is the full breakdown of the press conference and the toxicology findings:
Nancy Benoit had 3 different drugs in her system at the time of death. Hydrocodone (also known as Mortab, Morset) were found at 120 micrograms per liter. Hydromorphone, directly from the breakdown of the Hydrocodone, was also found. Finally, the anti-anxiety drug Xanex wss present at 23 micrograms per liter. All 3 drugs were found at the theraputic level - not toxic levels. Her blood alcohol level was 0.184.
Daniel Benoit's blood tested positive for Xanex at 100 micrograms per liter, which is an elevated. What is interesting about this fact is that the drug Xanex was not prescribed to Daniel and is typically not prescribed to children. Based upon this finding, it is their opinion that Daniel was sedated by Xanex at the time of his murder.
Chris Benoit tested positive for Xanex at 50 micrograms per liter. He also tested positive for Hydrocodone at 45 micrograms per liter. Both of these drugs were within the therapeutic range and not toxic.
As far as steroids ..... Chris Benoit's urine tested positive for the "steroid" testosterone at 207 micrograms per liter. The elevated level of testosterone his urine were the ONLY "steroids" present in Chris Benoit. No anabolic steroids were found.
Testosterone is found in everyone - in much higher levels in men than women. The medical examiner concluded that there is no way of telling whether Benoit's elevated testosterone was a result of recent steroid use. He called it a "mystery" - but said that Benoit may have been treated for a testosterone deficiency - a side effect of past steroid abuse.
The drug GHB was not found in any 3 of the individuals.
There is NO indication that ANYTHING found in Chris Benoit's system directly contributed to his violent behavior that weekend. THERE WAS NO ROID RAGE.
The drugs found in all 3 bodies were at therapeutic - NOT toxic levels. The medical examiner also said that the decomposition of the bodies may have affected the level of alcohol in Nancy's body.

Doesn't matter what was found. If any test was found at all the media will hype it up. The media already made up their minds that steroids had to be involved.

Oh okay... ::)
Anabolic steroids were found in the home, leading officials to wonder if the drugs played a role in the killings. Some experts believe steroids can cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage."
Federal authorities have charged Benoit's personal physician, Dr. Phil Astin, with improperly prescribing painkillers and other drugs to two patients other than Benoit. He has pleaded not guilty.

Feds: Benoit's steroid purchases were 'excessive'
The pro wrestler who strangled his wife and son and committed suicide last month bought injectable steroids excessively, according to court papers.
Professional wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife, child and himself, court papers say.
His doctor was charged Monday with improperly prescribing drugs to other patients.
Dr. Phil Astin prescribed a 10-month supply of anabolic steroids to Chris Benoit every three to four weeks between May 2006 and May 2007, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent said in an affidavit filed Friday and made public Monday.
During a probe of "RX Weight Loss," Benoit was identified as an excessive buyer of injectable steroids, the document states. Prosecutors would not say what "RX Weight Loss" is.
The affidavit also said Astin supplied various controlled substances, including injectable anabolic steroids, that were found in Benoit's home.
Astin has not been charged with supplying steroids to Benoit, though U.S. Attorney David E. Nahmias said more charges are possible.

'Roid rage' questions raised

The anabolic steroids found in Benoit's home led officials to wonder whether the drugs played a role in the killings that started the weekend of June 22. Some experts believe steroids can cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage." Toxicology tests on Benoit's body have not been completed.
A federal indictment issued Monday charges Astin with improperly dispensing painkillers and other drugs to two different patients.
Prosecutors allege in the seven-count indictment that Astin dispensed drugs including Percocet, Xanax, Lorcet and Vicoprofen between April 2004 and September 2005. The recipients were identified in the indictment by the initials O.G. and M.J.; Benoit's initials were not listed.
Astin pleaded not guilty and was being held in lieu of $125,000 bond. He will be under house arrest once he posts bond and must surrender his medical license, U.S. Magistrate Judge Linda Walker ordered.
Astin had written prescriptions for about 1 million doses of controlled substances over the past two years, including "significant quantities" of injectable testosterone cypionate, an anabolic steroid, according to the criminal complaint.
The complaint by Drug Enforcement Administration agent Anissa Jones said the amount of prescriptions was "excessive" for a medical office with a sole practitioner in a rural area like Carrollton, about 40 miles west of Atlanta.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Horn said that when agents raided the doctor's office Wednesday, Astin was carrying Benoit's medical file.
Astin's attorney, Manny Arora, said the doctor had brought the file because he thought the authorities would want it.
Federal drug agents have taken over the probe into whether Astin improperly prescribed testosterone and other drugs to Benoit before the killings and suicide in the wrestler's suburban Atlanta home last month. State prosecutors and sheriff's officials are overseeing the death investigation.
Investigators have conducted two raids at Astin's west Georgia office since last week.
Astin prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past but has not said what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office June 22, the day authorities believe Benoit killed his wife.
"We're still asking questions and searching for answers with regard to the death so we can tie up loose ends," said Scott Ballard, Fayette County district attorney.
Authorities have said Benoit strangled his wife and son, placing Bibles next to their bodies, before hanging himself with the cable of a weight machine in his home.
The boy had old needle marks in his arms, Ballard has said. He said he had been told the parents considered him undersized and had given him growth hormones.
Benoit's father, Michael, said Monday that "it's impossible to come up with a rational explanation for a very irrational act."
"Let the cards fall where they fall, we have no control over it at this point," he said. E-mail to a friend

If they want to they can test if the testosterone was synthetic. WADA has a test for this.

i thought 207 mcg. was pretty much on the low normal range for an adult male.

unavailable). In the United States, male total testosterone levels below 200 to 300 ng/dl from a morning sample are generally considered low. However these numbers are typically not age-adjusted, but based on an average of a test group which includes elderly males with low testosterone levels. Therefore a value of 300 ng/dl might be normal for a 65 year old male, but not normal for a 30 year old.

I still believe his wife played a role in this, but im not sure. :-\

They found test cyponiate, Xanax which is an anti-anxiety drug and some sort of pain killer. Big deal.

they can test GH via Blood

they said that he had 10 times the level of a normal testosterone count. Is that not correct?

no thats not correct
A quote:
"In laypersons terms, his T/E ratio at the time of death was 59-1. 1-1 is normal. 4-1 is a failure."
Is this not correct?

Steroids found in Chris Benoit's body, but really no questions answered
by Dave Meltzer
The toxicology reports on Chris, Nancy and Daniel Benoit were announced this afternoon by Dr. Kris Sperry at a press conference in Atlanta this aftenoon.
Benoit was found with the drugs testosterone cypionate, Xanax and Hydrocodone in his system at the time of his death. The Hydrocodone was not at an elevated level to the point there was indication of using it in above theraputic dosages. The level of testosterone cypianote was such that he would have failed any sports drug test (level was 59-1, normal levels are 1-1, sports drug test failures are usually 4-1), although he was prescribed the steroids by Dr. Phil Astin due his body producing a low level of testosterone, likely from his decades of steroid usage. It is virtually impossible to detect Growth Hormone usage in such tests. There was no evidence of any other steroids in his system. Although there was an empty bottle of wine in the weight room, he did not have elevated alcohol levels detected.
Sperry noted that due to decomposition, by the time authorities found the bodies, it was enough to hurt in rendering findings from the test.
Nancy Benoit also had Xanax, Hydrocodone and Hydromporphone in her body, all at theraputic levels, noting she was recovering from major surgery.
Daniel Benoit had Xanax in his system, which police believe was administered by Chris to put him to sleep before killing him. There was no evidence of what substances may have been injected into his arm from the needle marks evident.
Sperry said that it was impossible for the tests to determine whether or not Daniel Benoit had Fragile X syndrome, so that, like most things involved with this case, remains a technically unanswered question.

He was obviously clean. ::) ::)
World Wrestling Entertainment Issues Statement
July 17, 2007
STAMFORD, Conn., July 17, 2007 – WWE understands that the toxicology reports for Chris Benoit indicate that he tested positive for testosterone and negative for anabolic steroids. On Mr. Benoit's last drug test in April 2007 administered by Aegis Labs, he tested negative for anabolic steroids and for testosterone. Given the toxicology report of GBI released today, it would appear that Mr. Benoit took testosterone sometime after his April 2007 test and the time he died. WWE understands that his dealings with Dr. Astin are currently being investigated, and WWE has no knowledge of whether Dr. Astin prescribed testosterone for Mr. Benoit at some point after the April 2007 tests.
For over 20 years, the WWE has been demonstrating our concern for the well being of our contracted athletes, instituting drug testing in 1987 leading up to our current Wellness Program which began on February 27, 2006, administered by Dr. David L. Black of Aegis Sciences Corporation – one of the world’s foremost drug testing authorities.
We believe our Wellness Program is at the very least comparable to those of professional sports and is a program that will benefit WWE Superstars for generations to come.

He's right. The amount of Benoit coverage is almost nil compared to what it was before, when it was assumed steroids were the culprit. If people remember Benoit at all in a few months, it will be as the guy who took steroids and killed his wife & son (technically accurate). The best form of propaganda is a partial truth. If you don't think so, look on youtube for the television news coverage of it, particularly the clip with Kevin Nash on Hannity & the Other Guy, (Nash comes across like Einstein compared to the broad and the other guy) and the O'Reilly clip with Irvin Muchnick (who O'Reilly explodes on because Benoit was injecting his son...it didn't matter if the kid had a disease, it was the fact the Benoit himself injected the kid. O'Reilly shrieks only doctors should be injecting, apparently not realizing that thousands of parents across the country have to inject things in their children on a daily basis). The other news shows weren't much better.
