Winnipeg Sun Looks at WWE & Steroids

Winnipeg Sun has a new article discussing the quite popular topic of "steroids and drug abuse in the pro wrestling world". The article includes conversation with Raymond Rougeau, a singles and tag wrestler from WWF/WWE, who discusses his knowledge of steroid and drug abuse by wrestlers. It also talks about recent actions being taken by a US Senator to look into early pro wrestler deaths.

From winnipegsun.com:

"It's not the first time the WWE has been confronted with a steroids scandal. McMahon stood trial in 1994 after being accused of distributing steroids to his wrestlers. He was acquitted, though he admitted to taking steroids himself in the 1980s.

More recently, an Alabama compounding pharmacy was raided by investigators last fall after allegedly providing anabolic steroids to athletes from several sports, including many past and present WWE stars.

But the Benoit case may be the tipping point.

Georgia investigators raided the offices of Benoit's doctor last week as they continue to investigate what role, if any, steroids played in the killings after investigators found steroids in Benoit's home.

And U.S. Sen. John Isakson, a Republican from Georgia, has instructed his staff to gather information on all the deaths to determine whether a Senate hearing is needed to consider regulating wrestling."
