Almost all of the wrestlers are on the Roid's. Anyone who has had anything do with roids ( and I have so I know what Im talking about) knows full well they are taking them. This surely contributes to young impressionable teenagers thinking if they want to get that big, they are going to need roids as well.
When are the authorities going to crack down on this???

Actually, the WWE has a 0% tolerance drug policy, which became very strict after the death of Eddie Guerrero. I remember they had an article up once on WWE.com, which stated that they would have spot-checks frequently.
Many superstars were suspended immediately after being found that they have been taking drugs. The superstars were Eugene, Randy Orton, Chris Masters & the two biggest cases were RVD & Sabu. Remember after 2005, these superstars were out for sometime and lacked TV time? It was due to drugs that included Marijuana as well.
So I feel wrestling doesn't contribute to problems with youth of today with its glamourization of steroids, because the WWE (which is the most popular wrestling company) is really against drugs.
Hope you got your answer.........

First, what's the real issue with roids? No "legit" pro sport has taken any real action against users, they even let them continue playing later in the season or in the pro bowl.
Ask WADA why there's no documentation on strict testing of any "enhancers"? They won't send you an answer.
It doesn't go away, because nobody wants it to go away. Bodybuilding is based on how much juice you can use and handle. Baseball has yet to take away a $100 million dollar contract away from a known juicer. Football players are practically forced to take it, just to be able to compete and recover.
Should teenagers be taking them, no. But they will never go away and it's crazy to think in any sport some-body's not using something...

Not all wrestler are on steroids. Kane works out and doesn't take any type of drugs, he doesn't even like tatooes even though his gimmick is supposed to be a monster. He is the best role model in life. I want to be like Kane when I grow up. All other wrestlers that are setting a bad example to young teenagers I agree with you the authorities should crack down on this

Dude, what about Barry Bonds, and when did NFL linebackers become so big. Steroids is not as big a problem in pro wrestling as it is football, baseball, or even hockey. There are probably less than 5 wrestlers in the WWE I could point to and say, "I know that guy is using steroids."

WWE Wrestlers are actors not real wrestlers. Yes, they have talent I give them that. I don't watch it anymore because of the way they portray themselves. They way they act and look is they way they make the money. Back in the day it was different. Andre the Giant, Superfly Snuka, Rocky Johnson... now they were real( at least i thought so as a kid) I just wish my kids could of been there to watch them. As for stopping the use of steriods. Don't count on it. Then all of Hollywoods actors would be screwed.

your question is improperly phrased. There is no doubt that pro-wrestlers use steroids but the wwe doesn't advertise the use of steroids or ever talk about the use of steroids on the show. If someone draws that conclusion of how you get big then it was from their own mind not the minds of wwe advertisers.

He has the world largest arms all thanks to steroids and was so proud of it there was one part in it about how his arms got infected from using large amounts of steroids, well if you have seen it u will know what i mean anyway this English kid that wanted to do body building seen the tape and he still wanted to use steroids so if that no contributing to young kids doing it then i don't know what is just my 2 cents worth thank you nad yes we should crack down one kids doing steroids cuse it will kill them

Okay, Wrestling like WWE is purely sports ENTERTAINMENT..... Yes, they have a zero tolerance policy just like legitimate sports, but unlike legitimate sports they are judged by their size. When NFL, MBL, etc... can't even police their players when they have top-of-the-line doctors and testings, how can you expect an ENTERTAINMENT company to be able to do the same.

problem with the youth of today is that they have no discipline. if parents could beat there child for stealing or failing a class then there would be no teens taking steroids cause they would fear a beating.

I belive the real problem with todays youth is 'Gangsta Culture'. Kids watch MTV and play GTA:SA and see rappers dancing around with naked women and shooting people. These things should be banned.
