Aparentemente, surgiu um artigo no New York Daily, que acusava 10 wrestlers de frequentarem uma clinica em Orlando. Acontece que a WWE não autoriza este tipo de prescrições.

Temos o caldo entornado. Vejam os nomes.

The New York Daily News has posted up an article in which they identify several WWE wrestlers as clients of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando. Those names include Randy Orton, Charlie Haas, Adam "Edge" Copeland, Booker T, Gregory Helms, Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci, Anthony Carelli (developmental wrestler that was released in January), Johnny Nitro, William Regal, Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson and Chavo Guerrero. It was reported earlier today that a number of the suspensions -- if not all the suspensions -- were based on proof of wrestlers using Signature Pharmacy or another internet prescription type firm for their drugs. Getting drugs from one of these internet prescription firms is a violation of the WWE Wellness policy.

Here is the article. You can also read it at this link:

Top WWE names emerge in doping scandal

BY T.J. QUINN

DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER

Thursday, August 30th 2007, 4:27 PM

The WWE was rocked again today, after several of wrestling's top names emerged in the Albany district attorney's probe into a widespread Internet doping scandal.

The wrestling conglomerate based in Stamford announced that it will suspend 10 of its biggest stars for violation of its wellness policy.

Top wrestlers Randy Orton, Charles Haas, Jr., Adam "Edge" Copeland, Robert "Booker T" Huffman, Shane Helms, Mike Bucci, Anthony Carelli, John "Johnny Nitro" Hennigan, Darren "William Regal" Matthews, Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson and Chavo Guerrero were all identified as clients of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando, the site raided by Albany County and Florida law enforcement agencies in February for distributing steroids and other prescription drugs to clients who had not been examined by doctors. The investigation is part of a probe into illegal Internet drug distribution by Albany D.A. David Soares.

The WWE said in a statement that it issued suspension notices based on independent information received from the Albany D.A.

The WWE's announcement comes as members of Congress prepare to investigate steroid use in professional wrestling, as the Daily News reported today.

Two of its recently deceased stars - Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero - also received steroids and other drugs from Signature, as prescribed by Florida physician Gary Brandwein, who has pleaded not guilty to criminal sale of a controlled substance and criminal diversion of prescription drugs. Benoit murdered his wife and son before killing himself in June and Guerrero died in a Minneapolis hotel in 2005 from heart disease.

Guerrero received the steroids testosterone and nandrolone, along with the estrogen-blocker anastozole, a drug commonly taken by men on steroids to prevent developing breast tissue, Nov. 2, 2005, just 11 days before he died of heart disease.

Guerrero's nephew, Chavo Guerrero, found Guerrero unconscious in the hotel room.

Benoit received steroids from Signature, based on a Brandwein prescription, in February, 2006.

The WWE stars are among the first athletes to face discipline for their part in the nationwide Signature Pharmacy scandal, the Internet steroid ring that has already led to guilty pleas from nine doctors, anti-aging clinic owners and operators. Law enforcement sources have said they expect the names of numerous NFL and Major League Baseball athletes to emerge as well.

Wellness Policy Suspensions

Written: August 30, 2007

Based on independent information received from investigators from the Albany County, NY D.A.’s office, WWE has today, under the penalty provisions of its wellness policy, issued suspension notices to 10 of its performers for violations. It has been WWE’s practice not to release the names of those who have been suspended, but notice has been sent to all WWE performers that names of anyone who is suspended under the Wellness Policy as of November 1 will be made public.

Como vai ser? Suspender os 10, alguns deles vitais para a companhia?

A politica deles é de suspender os lutadores. Há vários exemplos no passado que mostram isso (RVD, Sabu, Masters, Mercury). Mas agora 10 de rajada? E logo com alguns dos melhores main-eventers que estão lá?

O que fariam se fossem o Vinnie Mac? :unsure:

Pá, sinceramente, não li a notícia toda, só os nomes. E saltou-me logo um à vista: Simon Dean. Este gajo já não luta há séculos. Não é por nada, mas com esse nome aí não me parece que seja recente...

Pronto, li a notícia toda. A lista de nomes que aí aparece significa, somente e apenas, que essas pessoas compraram fármacos numa loja online, algo que infringe a Wellness Policy da WWE. Não significa mais que isso.

O que eu acho engraçado é a WWE suspender os atletas qd me parece que é óbvio que a grande maioria dos atletas de que dispõem toma esteróides e arrisco a dizer que os tomam com conhecimento da própria WWE.

É que a WWE lucra com isto!

Tudo está OK até ao momento de serem descobertos... Aí a WWE suspende os atletas para não parecer mal e os atletas calam-se muito bem caladinhos pq senão podem muito bem passar a fazer wrestling mas só no quintal lá de casa.

Fármacos online? Na volta é um daqueles simpáticos sites que todos os dias me oferecem viagra por mail...

Anyway: que grande rombo! O que fazia no lugar do Vince? Suspensões curtas, multas e exaustivos controlos anti-doping nos próximos dias.

Nem mais... Suspender as vedetas todas é como um clube encostar os bons jogadores... vai-se ressentir...

Pessoalmente acho que as consequências conseguem ser piores no wrestling.
