Forums - General Discussion - WWE suspends Randy Orton and many others due to drugs

So, the WWE has suspended 10 "superstars", including Randy Orton, Edge, Charlie Hass, William Regal: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2003560001-2007400628,00.html

And these are all wrestlers who were just using one company to get their drugs.  It's possible there are other wrestlers on the juice using different companies.

I stoped watching wrestling a few years ago, so I guess this just gives me another good reason not to patronize WWE.  I know every wrestler is personally responsible for the actions he takes, but Vince McMahon makes an atmosphere in the WWE that makes many of the wrestlers feel that they need to augment their bodies by taking steriods, or they won't succeed.  It's just sad, really.

-Phoenix: No idea...

It's possible there are other wrestlers stacking? Uh, more like there is a slim possibility that there is a professional wrestler somewhere *not* stacking.

Seriously, these guys all stack. Every one of them. If you want to compete, you stack. If you want to look the way they do, you do stacks every 6 weeks.



I don't think you realize how many athletes use drugs. The NFL and MLB don't even test for HGH.

The only sport that really does serious testing and investigation is cycling, and what do they get for it? Everyone now calls cycling the dirtiest sport and they are losing sponsors left and right.

Financially, there is just no incentive to catch drug users. That's a fact.



It all stems from the fact that society in general feel that athletes as a group should be improving year after year: wrestlers need to look more buff than the last generation of wrestlers; baseball players need to hit more home runs per season than the last generation; football players need to throw further, run faster, tackle harder; swimmers need to swim those laps faster; etc....

In reality, sport records shouldn't be broken on a consistent basis. There's only so far humans can go naturally, and most of those limits were reached years and years ago. The only way to become the newest record holder is to use technology to do what nature can't...and I find that disturbing. Not all sports use drugs either, for example gymnastics involves getting smaller and lighter athletes, until you have 14 year olds that are barely eating leading the pack...

As someone above said, its sad. Competition is healthy, but not when taken to such extremes that the competition itself is forgotten in the quest to become the next winner.



Jeez, I didn't realize people were so cynical.

Kytiara some of what you say has merit but there is a whole in your logic when it comes to be people getting bigger, faster, and stronger. Humans have been getting bigger, faster, stronger, etc. before that advent of steroids. The average person from 100 years ago was taller, stronger, and faster than the average person frorm 500 years ago. 



Well there goes the WWE top stars right there, Good thing Triple H came back cause the WWE would of been completely trash!



id s laugh if they found that HHH has and is doimn the same. btw HHH never was this big until he went on his first injury leave then came back twice the size 6 months later now if that isnt drugs then something is wrong



dick cheney loves me, he wants to take me hunting

Honestly if I watch wrestling. I watch NWA: TNA. The quality of the matches is much better IMO.

CM Punk is going to get the biggest push of his life in the next few months. There's no way they won't push the straight edge kid who doesn't drink, smoke, or do any kind of drug at all.
