Title: WWE Wellness Policy Suspensions - UPDATE
Post by: wolfgang187 on August 30, 2007, 08:58:34 PM
T.J. Quinn of the New York Daily News obtained a list of wrestlers who were clients of the Signature Pharmacy. The names are as follows:

Randy Orton
Charlie Haas
Adam Copeland aka Edge
Robert Huffman aka King Booker
Shane Helms aka Gregory Helms
Mike Bucci aka Simon Dean
Anthony Carelli aka Santino Marella
John Hennigan aka John Morrison
Darren Matthews aka William Regal
Ken Anderson aka Mr. Kennedy
Chavo Guerrero

Shortly after that article was published, ESPN issued three more names to the list:

Dave Bautista
Shoichi Funaki
Chris Mordetzky aka Chris Masters

Despite these listings, this has no indication on who has been suspended. WWE refuses to comment on which of the ten superstars had been suspended. The length of their suspension is also in question; depending on if it is there first or second offense. I







In an update that calls into question the credibility of WWE Wellness Policy, which bans the purchase of prescription drugs from Internet doctors, Sports Illustrated revealed that numerous wrestlers (many under WWE contract) allegedly received steroids, growth hormone and other prescription drugs via a supposed Florida-based Internet drug network in the past two years.

__ Chavo Guerrero received somatropin (HGH), nandrolone and anastrozole from April 2005 to May 2006.

__ Shane Helms received testosterone, genotropin (HGH) and nandrolone from November 2003 to February 2007.

__ Randy Orton received somatropin, nandrolone, and stanozolol from September 2004 to February 2007.

__ John Morrison was prescribed somatropin, anastrozole, testosterone, stanozolol and chorionic gonadotropin from June 2006 to February 2007.

__ Mr. Kennedy received anastrozole, somatropin and testosterone from October 2006 to February 2007.

__ Funaki received somatropin in March 2006.

__ Charlie Haas was prescribed nastrozole, somatropin, stanozolol, nandrolone and chorionic gonadotropin from August 2006 to January 2007.

__ Umaga received somatropin between July and December 2006.

__ William Regal received stanozolol, somatropin, genotropin, and anastrozole from November 2004 to November 2006.

__ Edge received somatropin, genotropin (both HGH), and stanozolol from September 2004 and February 2007.

__ Recently released Sylvan Grenier received somatropin, nandrolone, genotropin and stanozolol from February 2005 to July 2006.

__ The late Brian Adams, who was not under WWE contract, received nandrolone, testosterone and Somatropin in December 2006.

-- The late Chris Benoit received nandrolone and anastrozole in February 2006.

-- Eddie Guerrero received nandrolone, testosterone, and anastrozole two weeks prior to his death in November 2005.

WWE announced that ten wrestlers were suspended in response to information it received from the Albany County DA office. It did not reveal the identities of the ten names.

Given that professional wrestling is not a sport or competition in any sense of the word, what's the point of a steroid policy?  That would be like a movie studio or dance troupe worrying whether their performers were taking roids.  ::)

I'm sure if the feds dig deeper, they'll find a slew of football players, hockey players, bbdr's and much much more. Its almost like they're out to get Vince McMahon. Mind you, he is not responsible for the choices his employees make.

i think the suspensions were handed down AFTER the findings of the investigation....

"The move comes as investigators from the Albany, N.Y., district attorney's office have been gathering information about steroid use by WWE wrestlers as part of a wide ranging investigation into online pharmacies and the doctors who write prescriptions for them."

Because, like so many other wrestlers, Umaga needs to be quick, strong, explosive, and able to heal from injuries rather quickly.

It's not about cosmetic appearance for all users of anabolics, a prime example of such would be the plethora of chubby powerlifters that we've seen over the years.

if that's the only rationale, then its legality should be enough. do they have a "murder" policy? how about a "tax fraud" policy? a "drunk in public" policy?

the reason sports have such a policy is because that activity is specifically against what the institutions want to achieve. that's why when a football player gets caught with coke in his car he gets a little slap on the wrists but no real penalties, while if it's proven he used steroids it's a huge ruckus.

both are equally illegal, but the league has a specific policy because if some player snorts a line at a party over the weekend it doesn't wreck the ideals of the sport as much as performance enhancing drugs do.

Man, how times have changed.

Do you remember (I think it was in 1987) when Jim Duggan & Iron Sheik were arrested on a drunk driving charge? Duggan was found with marijuana and Sheik with marijuana & cocaine.

The story hit the press and Vince was irate. But not because of the DUI & drug possession – he was upset that two of his wrestlers who were supposed to be feuding and kicking the shit out of each other at the time were caught sharing a rental car.

It is because of the history of AAS use in the WWF that McMahon has to take these things seriously, or at least appear to do so for public relations.  Some of the allegations have come from the very top (including Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan), & there has been some discussion of federal regulation or investigation of the WWE.  The wellness policy has caused several wrestlers to terminate association with WWE, & it's likely more will follow.  Computerized database searches are permitting much more disclosure than was previously possible.  It's easier to track down now than it was.

The problem is when a sports personality does something wrong it can affect the whole sport.  It gives them a black eye.  BB is the perfect example.  BB has never made it mainstream because from the very start steroids were used and most people knew it and it appeared unless you took drugs you just couldn't get as big as the guys you see on stage or in the magazines.  it has got worse as the years gone by.  Real sports like baseball, football, basketball, golf, tennis all started off as being mostly popular.  They were all sports that allot of people growing up participated in and gave them a chance to possibly become a pro and make lots of money and fame. 

When someone gets nailed for drugs or other crimes it gives that sport a black eye and makes it appear that the people involved are not perfect and crime is present.  Drugs are everywhere but because of a few bad apples it hurts the entire sport.  In acting people realize that if someone is taking drugs and is a fuck up it isn't because of the "acting industry" it because that person is just a fuck up.  So when Lohan or Hilton fuck up it doesn't do anything to the industry just that person.  BB started off fucked off and is just worse and worse.

my point was that if something is illegal, in the case of a sport wherein performance enhancement doesn't inherently hurt the sport itself, just default to the criminality of it and when someone is caught, let the legal system take care of it. wrestling doesn't need a "steroid policy" any more than they need a "vehicular homicide" policy. you get caught breaking the law, you get the book thrown at you.

as for wrestling, people forget that it isn't steroids killing these guys, it's that they're in the most physically intensive sport there is. i know, it's not as hard to put on a 15 minute "match" as it is to play soccer for an hour (though i'd argue that too), but these guys have no offseason. they do 250+ shows a year. they don't get a few months to just relax and recuperate. so they take meth to have the energy to perform, vicodin so they can handle the pain that hasn't gone away from the last 50 shows.

steroids is just a convenient scapegoat. like someone said in the benoit thread, if a guy dies and they find a cabinet full of alcohol and perscription pills in his bathroom, they just shrug. if a guy kills someone and he had a few joints in his pocket and a whiskey flask in the other they'll say he had problems but it wasn't the drugs. they find a single vial of testosterone in his house and now he's a roid-head and that's what did it.

bottom line: a steroid policy in a non-competitive activity is unnecessary because it's already illegal, wrestling is extremely damaging and that's what's killing these guys.

Yep.

“A normal working day for me was: speed to wake me up in the morning to catch an early flight, valium to make me sleep on the plane, Percoset just before the match, then we’d wrestle, hit the beer, and the cocaine, until the early hours, before taking another valium to put me to sleep at night.
I was in good company, because the majority of wrestlers all shared more or less the same lifestyle.”

Steroids aren't "bodybuilding drugs". They're categorized as performance-enhancing drugs. That's why, if the statements are true, Umaga could be using anabolics just as much as Chris Masters. They're both wrestlers; it just so happens that one of them has a bodybuilder-type physique (Masters) and the other does not (Umaga).

Actually he said he DID do steroids in college but once he entered Vince's world he was no longer on them.

Post by: wolfgang187 on September 02, 2007, 11:49:35 PM
A WWE source said that "several names" identified by the media as being customers of Signature Pharmacy were inaccurate; these few allegedly did not have a link to the online pharmacy. As a report stated earlier, Batista is among those who claim to have been incorrectly linked to the alleged steroid distributor.

While the errantly named wrestlers are upset about the media coverage, WWE is opting not to allow them to address the media for fear of a backlash similar to that it faced during the fallout of the Benoit tragedy.
