> BENOIT STEROIDS PRESCRIPTIONS COULD ROCK THE WELLNESS PROGRAM CREDIBILITY
- The death of Chris Benoit could have the biggest impact in World Wrestling
Entertainment and its Wellness Program program. Introduced after Eddie
Guerrero passed away in late 2005, the Wellness Program randomly tests WWE
Superstars for steroid use and other medication which wasn't in their system
after their baseline test. According to the DEA, Chris Benoit received a ten
month supply of steroids every three to four weeks in the period of May 2006
to May 2007 from his personal physician Dr. Phil Astin. WWE sent a press
release last week saying that Benoit was tested in the beginning of April of
this year for steroid use and the results came in negative. The news of
Benoit receiving that large amount of steroids every four weeks puts the
Wellness Program credibility in jeopardy regardless of the outcome of the
toxicology reports.

> DR. ASTIN LOSES MEDICAL LICENSE, UNDER HOUSE ARREST
- Dr. Phil Astin - who surrendered himself yesterday - was arrested by
Georgia police and charged with seven counts of distributing painkillers and
other drugs to other clients, a case brought forward by the federal
government. He was later released on a $125,000 secured bond however his
freedom came with a few conditions. His medical license was revoked and he
was placed under house arrest and forced to wear an electronic monitoring
ankle bracelet. Astin's lawyer, Manny Arora, said his client was innocent of
the charges and said that Astin never prescribed steroids to Chris Benoit -
a friend for the past six years. DEA agents stormed his offices twice last
week and took computers, files and other information that could spell big
trouble for other wrestlers or sports celebrities who were prescribed with
drugs and steroids. The search warrant was obtained by the website

> WWE STANDS BY ITS DRUG TESTING POLICY
- In comments given to Newsday.com, WWE said that its testing program is one
of the most aggressive of its kind compared to other tests by competitive
sports organizations and as WWE put it, it's "unique for an entertainment
company." Despite the reports of Benoit getting a huge chunk of steroids
every couple of weeks, WWE stood firm by its tests although the company said
that it would make any improvements necessary to maintain it as a
"state-of-the-art program to the utmost betterment of our performers, fans,
and business partners." WWE said that the abuse of drugs and steroids is
unacceptable in the company. Dr. Gary Wadler, a Manhasset steroid expert
criticized WWE's drug test policy calling it woefully lacking. He said that
WWE allows for a higher threshold of testosterone in a person's system than
in other sports before considering a steroid test positive. The company
gives wrestlers up to an hour's notice before the test is done. Dr. Wadler
also noted that WWE prohibits only 'non-medical use' of banned drugs and
allows wrestlers to provide a doctor's explanation for use even after
testing positive.
