Even More On WWE Wrestlers Being Linked To Steroid Provider
Posted by Ashish on 08.30.2007
More details on the huge story...
Dave Meltzer reports that Adam "Edge" Copeland's last reported prescription from Signature Pharmacy came years ago when he was recuperating from neck surgery and that Randy Orton and Shane Helms' last transactions also predated the implementation of WWE's Wellness Policy in February of 2006 and were at times of injury rehabilitation.
WWE was apparently aware months ago of all the wrestlers that were named today being customers of Signature Pharmacy but chose to do nothing about it since many of the wrestlers were customers prior to the WWE Wellness Policy, not after. WWE likely felt pressure to suspend the wrestlers today despite the fact that some of them may not have actually violated the Wellness Policy due to the forthcoming Congressional hearing on steroid use in wrestling as well as the media picking up the story as has happened today. Of course, some of the names may have infact been customers after the WWE Wellness Policy was in place.
Three deceased wrestlers, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, and Brian Adams, were also on the list of names.
It is believed that several other former WWE wrestlers are also on the list.
