Jimmy Wang Yang Suspended 30 Days


The WWE has suspended James Yun, also known as Smackdown superstar Jimmy Wang Yang. Yang will serve a 30 day suspension due to violation of the company's drug policy. Yun becomes the latest suspension since William Regal's shocking 60 day suspension and "firing" as General Manager of Raw.

News Story from Canadian Press:

STAMFORD, Conn. — World Wrestling Entertainment suspended performer James Yun for 30 days for his first violation of the company's drug policy.

Stamford-based WWE spokesman Gary Davis declined to say Monday what drugs were involved. Yun wrestles under the name Jimmy Wang Yang.

Company officials said there have been more than 30 suspensions under the WWE substance-abuse and drug-testing policy begun in 2006, which requires tests for steroids and other drugs.

A wrestler faces a 30-day suspension without pay for a first violation, a 60-day suspension for a second violation and firing for a third violation. Performers are tested at least four times a year.
