CrazyCarl40 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 This article falls into the no duh category too.. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=2805155 Updated: March 19, 2007, 9:57 PM ET Orton, other wrestlers, linked to probe of pharmacy Associated Press Eleven professional wrestlers, including the WWE's Randy Orton, have joined the list of athletes linked to a nationwide steroids investigation. SI.com reported Monday that Orton allegedly received eight prescriptions for six different drugs -- including stanozolol, nandrolone and testosterone -- between March 2004 and August 2004. According to the documents SI.com reviewed, two doctors whose names also appear in Gary Matthews Jr.'s file, wrote prescriptions for Orton. Orton, through the WWE, declined comment, SI.com said. In its review of documents, SI.com reported it found Adam Copeland, a.k.a. Edge, and Shane Helms, a.k.a. The Hurricane, received HGH from Applied Pharmacy in Mobile, Ala., one of the pharmacies raided in the investigation led by Albany, N.Y., District Attorney David Soares. Through the WWE, Copeland and Helms didn't respond to a request for comment, SI.com said. WWE spokesman Gary Davis told SI.com that WWE policy prohibits performance-enhancing drugs but would not say whether any wrestlers have tested positive since the policy was enacted. Also linked to the scandal, in various reports, are baseball's Jose Canseco, John Rocker, Jerry Hairston Jr. and David Bell, former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, Pittsburgh Steelers doctor Richard Rydze, 1996 Olympic wrestling gold medalist Kurt Angle and bodybuilder Victor Martinez. Monday, SI.com also reported Arizona doctor David Wilbirt's name has come up in multiple files, including Angle, Oscar Gutierrez (stage name Rey Mysterio) and former WWE star Eddie Guerrero, who died in 2005. Through the WWE, Gutierrez declined comment to SI.com about the report that Wilbirt had prescribed him nandrolone and stanozolol. Wilbirt told SI.com he's not practicing medicine now. "I'll tell you one thing and then this conversation is going to end," Wilbirt told SI.com when asked about the professional wrestlers. "They had done blood work and had laboratory work done and they had come to see me." Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Some of the guys they named aren't huge by any means. I'm wondering if some of them are using this stuff to heal up faster to they can get back in the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WWE steroid policy was basically written on a discarded matchbook cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
