Looks like Eddie's death, combined with whatever is going on with Eugene, is really opening up some eyes. No more looking the other way anymore. I think this is a good thing, honestly.

Well this hasnt gotten WWE in trouble before. In Sex Lies and Headlocks the Vince Mcmahon story book they said that alot of early WWF people were taking steroids like Hulk Hogan. Another note Vince used to take steroids and the place got suspicious about why big guys were winning the WWF tittle and they had to give the tittle to small guys like Bret Hart and Shawn Micheals.

I meant that it's about time someone puts a limit on this. It's easy enough to get seriously hurt or killed in this business without complicating things with drugs. Since this isn't a regulated sport, steroid use isn't prohibited in any way. But that doesn't mean that these people should be able to put themselves and others in jeopardy just because they want to have bigger man-boobs. The WWE corporation has alot of money invested in each individual wrestler, not to mention each person's insurance carrier. Doing drugs and steroids puts the individual in direct risk of serious and permanent injury, not to mention kicking the tires for the last time.

I hope like hell he's cleaned up. I think Randy Orton: He's genetically supposed to be like his father... the dude has NO neck. Yeah he's on roids.

Bobby Lashley looks freakishly big too, but coming from the military i'm not so sure. I don't think he would have been doing anything there, and their training regimen is pretty hard. So I'm basically saying he's a possibility, but i would vote no.

I just think it is idiotic to be getting all excited about the WWE finally cracking down on drugs. Don't get me wrong, it is a good thing, but shouldn't this have happened, y'know, decades ago?
Vince McMahon went to the Supreme Court over steroid usage. Wouldn't you think that a crack down and banning of drugs would have occured THEN? Yet it took him ten years to realize that the WWE needs to do something about it. This isn't good news. It is sad news. This means that WWE managment have been either oblivious or lenient on drug use. That's not good. That's bad...

They've pretty much been looking the other way about it for years. As long as it's been "legal" drugs. There are plenty of performance and prescription drugs that are in common use and have been forever. Looks like they finally decided the financial risk outweighs the "looking good" factor.

Just you wait. Very soon your going to see over half of the superstars with much smaller muscles and maybe even flabby. Did they mention or say what happens when they are caught with drugs in them? Suspension? Fired? Minimal shows for them?

gunk-Fox Just you wait. Very soon your going to see over half of the superstars with much smaller muscles and maybe even flabby. Did they mention or say what happens when they are caught with drugs in them? Suspension? Fired? Minimal shows for them? It'll probably be handled much in the way it was before. It was... suspension for a short time, then longer time (it was for rehab for most guys) and then 3rd strike you're out. However, with Eddie's death maybe they will cut out the short suspension and go straight to rehab as they did with Eugene. I hope they take safety as the number one priority. These people ARE people too!
