There was news today that the same investigation of mail-order drug shipments directed at pro BBall players netted 11 wrestlers, including Orton,Edge,Eddie Guerrero(rip),Rey Mysterio and others.

Believe it or not they are actually cracking down on them. They instituted testing like a year back and have suspended several people since then, including Orton, so his name hardly comes as a surprise. Obviously there is no test for HGH so it wouldn't surprise me if virtually all of them are still using that. And of course a few will still use roids and find ways to pass the tests like in all the major sports.

Funny that the WWE never mention his passing (on March 6th), he was 63 and had recently had hip replacement.
Also, he had been working security for the WWE. His career was winding down when the steroid era was beginning.
Best known for his feud with Bret Hart (it springboard Bret's singles career and make him a "face").

Nah, Orton is one of their biggest stars and Angle was a huge star and was released over a painkiller addiction. They decided it was bad PR to have all these wrestlers dying early and have started cracking down. The funny thing though is I am sure Vince still uses them whenever he has a big match. And I'm sure they are still juiced to the gills on whatever the WWE has no way to test for like HGH.

Strict program. When the testicles have shriveled to nothing, they let you go.

Although "The Donald" has worst hair , doubt he'll be shaved bald.

A few weeks after he left the WWE, he turned up at a TNA (Total Non-stop Action) taping...so much for getting his head on straight!

Did I hear Pujols say; "That a roid" when Angle hit the ball?

I found this interesting, this was Edge's response to the steroid allegations:

Dear Blogees (did I just create a word?)

If you are reading this blog and it sees the light of day, than that means that an article has been written by a Sports Illustrated writer that states I received HGH from a pharmacy in 2003. So, I'll cut right to the chase like I always do. It's true. However, it's not exactly breaking, earth shattering news. It's actually old news. I admitted to this on national television in Canada in 2004 on Off The Record. When host Michael Lansberg asked me if I'd ever taken steroids, without consulting me before the show, I was perturbed, but answered without hesitation, "Yes, I have."

In hindsight, I'm glad he asked the question. It got it out in the open and anyone who follows my career or supports me already knows this information about me. I won't try to defend my actions. I took them when coming back from my spinal fusion neck surgery when I was told by doctors that it would help the bones grow back around the screws and plate that were now inserted in my neck. I'm not glorifying. I'm not condoning. Just telling you why I decided to take them. I took blood tests, consulted doctors, read up, studied them, got prescriptions, and decided to do it. That's pretty much it folks, but I wanted you to get my response straight from me and not through the words of another write. Now as I'm sure most you can tell, I don't take steroids and haven't in a very long time, long before the WWE drug testing wellness policy was implemented. Hell, I barely see the inside of a gym anymore, let alone take performance enhancing substances!

So, in closing, to the columnist (not the Sports Illustrated columnist, but actually another one) who said a "roided up thing called Edge" was at the NHL ALL Star Game a few weeks ago, in 2003, this may have been true. Now, not in the least, as my random urine tests, which have always been negative will attest. I guess I'll take the fact that he thought I was as somewhat of a compliment. To the fact that I've been lucky enough to have been gifted with a 6 foot 5, 240lb body naturally. And finally made it to the top of my industry last year on my own, clean as a whistle. To those, like that columnist and any other naysayers that will hold my past against me? I've made mistakes. Will do so again in the future I'm sure. But I won't hide from them. If you're reading this, you know that's not my style.

Until next time, from everybody's favorite, clean urine,
Edgemiester!

Yeah, I find it hard to believe that Batista can pass all their tests. Either he's been very good at anticipating them and finding ways to beat them or he's taking stuff they can't test for. Or they are just turning a blind eye while he's the champ and will suspend him once his run is over.

Rumor has it, he's not one of Vince's favorites. His regin as champion hasn't been one of the more favorable ones in the WWE lately.
I'm sure he'll drop the title to the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, after all;
the Undertaker's undefeated streak in Wrestlemania is on the line.
