Well...they should pin him for breaking the law too....

That Dr. is no better than a street drug pusher.

Even better -
Dr. Phil Astin prescribed a 10-month supply of anabolic steroids to Chris Benoit every three to four weeks between May 2006 and May 2007, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent said in an affidavit filed Friday and made public Monday

From CNN -

So, a wrestler who passed his last drug screen was purchasing 10 weeks worth of steroids every 3 to 4 weeks? Something does not compute here - and one does not need the Bard to know that something is not quite right in the Dane Mark.

Well, it may be that the WWE test has a different standard. The normal sporting world standard for steroid violation is 4:1; WWE has a standard of 10:1. So he could conceivably have been taking twice what a \'real sport\' would nail him on and been ok by the wellness policy set forth by WWE.

Or, he may have been getting them to dish them out among the locker room. Who knows?

At this point we still have to wait for toxicology to come back to know for sure what his particular level is or is not.

Sweet MONKEY OF JEBUS!!! thats a high level of steriods for someone who\'s not abusing them.

You are absolutely right...there are plenty of \'buff\' guys out there that do it the natural way, I won\'t take anything away from them!!

Of course you won\'t, \'cuz they\'d kick your ass!lol

Well, not exactly...

First, they\'d kick sand in my face...
THEN they\'d kick my ass.

The scary part is that Benoit (5\'10\" 235) and the other current WWE wrestler linked to this doctor (Rey Mysterio, 5\'3\", 165) are two of the smaller people in the business. One shudders to think what dosages the monsters of the business like Dave Batista, Scott Steiner or Bobby Lashley *might* be on.

Well, what was the figure I\'ve heard on the news? Sixty \'ex-wrestlers\' have died \'early deaths\' (before 50)...It\'s scary what people are willing to do to themselves for a bit of fading glory.
