Luger claims to use Visine on his fingertips. (he like topical test too????)

former ways.
He confessed to formerly being one of 700 patients — from a number of different sports — of a California doctor who would arrange for steroids and human growth hormones to arrive at Luger's door chilled on ice.
He declined to provide the doctor's name.
Finding a doctor to prescribe testosterone was easy if you could show your body level of the male hormone was low, he said. Wrestlers often did that by taking a six-week cycle of steroids, enough so that eventually the body would shut down its own natural production.
They'd wait two or three weeks before going to a doctor for blood tests that then showed low testosterone levels.
That provided the free pass necessary for more prescriptions.
"You don't have to be a doctor," Luger said. "You just need one to write the scripts."
Luger, whose real name is Lawrence Pfohl, also was fond of an oil-based testosterone cream that can be rubbed into the body.
"It was like the fountain of youth," he said.
Regular drug testing, which the WWE has cited as proof of its hard line against drug and steroid use following the Benoit tragedy, was hardly a deterrent.
Luger cited numerous times he wasn't asked to strip down to his knees — as he was supposedly required — when giving a urine sample. It was then easy to sneak in other samples in place of his own. Or the other times he'd soak his Visine-covered fingers into the sample knowing the chemicals in the eye drops would mask the drugs in his system.
And when all else failed, the 6-foot-6, 270-pounder would intimidate lab techs to witness the wrestlers provide a urine sample.
"Just imagine a guy my size giving 'em a glare and saying [something intimidating],' " Luger said. "I was one of the biggest cheaters ever."
Changed landscape
However, WWE officials and current performers insist transgressions like his would be discovered in today's more stringent testing environment.
They point to the Wellness Program, the organization initiated in February 2006 that includes tight rules governing random drug testing and monitoring the cardiac health of its athletes.
But despite the renewed interest, some observers don't hold out hope that drug use will be curtailed.
"It's kind of like baseball," said Greg Oliver, a Canadian freelance writer who has covered professional wrestling for more than 20 years. "It'll probably change the way we look at these guys. But will it really change anything?
