WWE Suspends Ten Wrestlers: Drug Violations are Reason

World Wrestling Entertainment, under tremendous pressure from the public, Congress, and the media, suspended ten of its wrestlers--including some of their main event talent-- for drug violations.

Suspended were Mr Kennedy (the hypocrite), Chavo Guerrero (brother of the late WWE champion Eddie Guerrero), Gregory Helms, Randy Orton, John Morrison, Shoichi Funaki, Charlie Haas, Umaga, William Regal and Edge.

These wrestlers are in trouble because a pharmacy that they all do business with sells steroids to people without requiring them to see a doctor or having a doctor's prescription. The wrestlers were discovered as being clients by police who have access to the seized records of the pharmacy in question.

Prosecutors contacted WWE who suspended the wrestlers. Also linked to this company via seized records are accused murderer and deceased WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, and the late Brian "Crush" Adams as well as Eddie Guerrero.

I think it's too late to save this generation of wrestlers from early death. They know the terrible consequences of their steroid abuse; they know they're breaking their work rules and, more importantly--the law; and they know the long-term effects that steroid abuse has on their health. Yet they use the drugs regardless of the consequences.

There comes a point where the damage becomes irreversible and it becomes a matter of time before they have fatal heart attacks. I think we're in for a lot of sad news in the coming months and years as wrestlers continue to die young from their steroid and drug abuse. For some it's already too late to save their lives, even if they stop this insanity immediately.
The damage doesn't reverse itself if the abuse stops. It festers and then strikes when the unsuspecting wrestler least expects it.

I think wrestlers who abuse steroids and drugs are too damned selfish to think about what's going to become of their wives and children after they die. It's utter stupidity and sheer madness to risk one's family on a gamble as they do, every time they inject themselves with liquid death.

Brain cells must be the first thing to go. What other explanation is there?
