Why are a lot of people on this section thinking it's only Orton, Edge, and Mysterio who used steroids?

Question

Trust me, there are more people in the WWE that have taken steroids. People like Batista, Lashley, Cena, Triple H, and others have at some point taken steroids. What you have to realize is the steroid accusations that came up recently were from 2004 not recently so who knows whats going to come up later on. One thing is for sure Batista is on steroids, that's for sure.

I know it's because they are the ones that got caught. Let me reprase it, "why are people thinking that it's only going to be those three getting caught?" Oh and yes Mysterio has done steroids.

Answer 1

Because they believe in McMahon's "wellness programm". The two of us are long-time fans of this sport, and we have seen many wrestlers die. We know that McMahon's greed was not changed by Eddie's death, and we know the programm is a farce.
But I remember that I always said "wrestlers do not use roids!" when I was a kid. I thought I had to defend them, because they were my heroes, and I could not believe that my heroes would do anything like this. It took a while (and the death of some of them) to change my mind. Now I know that, but also why, they do drugs. I have already given you a link to my opinion when I answered your last question.
But most of the people who think that only the three wrestlers do roids (or even deny this) are in the same position we were a few years ago: They want to defend their heroes. They will learn what we have learnt sooner or later, but I really hope they won't learn it the same way we did: By the deaths of many wrestlers. I hope the death series will come to an end, but to be honest: I do not think so.

Answer 2

Here's whose listed on Fox Sports article:
Randy Orton
Shane Helms; The Hurricane
Edge
Kurt Angle
Rey Mysterio Jr.
Eddie Guerrero

apparently there are 11 Pro wrestlers in the nationwide steroid investigation

I'm sure some that you listed aren't named yet but are in the investigation!

To answer your rephrased question: people are afraid of the truth coming out and their favorite wrestlers being busted!

Answer 3

I know, but the wwe news is investigating Rey Mysterio and Edge and Randy and Kurt Angle...

Of course Batista takes steroids so does John Cena and Triple HHH we all know that but they are not under investigation right now

Answer 4

First, how ever you got Mysterio and Lashley into that list, you are highly mistaken. Lashley has been building up since his days in the military and as HUGE then, the USM would not allow steroids.

Batista is no longer on roids, but definatly has used them, Cena has openly admited to steroids when he was younger and was a body builder.

big deal.

Answer 5

No for a number of motives: a million. Taker vs HBK did no longer in basic terms divide WS, yet IWC as an entire. i do no longer see any Orton vs side happening in yet another wrestling web pages, yet for the time of Taker vs HBK each and each wrestling website I visited became busy speaking approximately this tournament. 2. Taker & HBK have been given some thing on the line, Streak & profession. What do side & Orton have been given on the line? Ego? 3. for the time of Taker vs HBK, a million out of 5 questions is approximately Taker vs HBK. Now, in basic terms a million out of 10 questions is approximately side vs Orton. My answer is not any. and that i'm no longer in any of the communities. i'm on team Undertaker. constantly. Edit: Oh, correct. I would desire to have wrote 'Now, in basic terms a million out of 20 questions is approximately side vs Orton'.

Answer 6

bcause, they were the only wrestlers that got caught with them, there probably are alot of other roid users but randy, edge, and mysterio r the only 1's to get caught

Answer 7

There are definitely more than what has been named.The SI report said there are 11plus there wereathletes in other sports but they did not get the publicity that wrestling got.

• Orton allegedly ordered drugs from same doctors as Matthews Jr.

Since last summer Sports Illustrated reporters Luis Fernando Llosa and L. Jon Wertheim have been investigating an alleged illegal steroid distribution network that has implicated numerous pro athletes. On Feb. 27 the two SI writers accompanied federal and state drug enforcement agents on a raid of a Jupiter, Fla., anti-aging clinic that investigators allege conspired to fraudulently prescribe steroids, human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing drugs over the Internet.

SI.com: What's the latest?

Llosa/Wertheim: Investigators in Albany and Orlando continue to go through the material from last month's seizures. This means everything from testing drugs found in desk drawers to cross-referencing names that, we're told, include athletes of all levels.

SI.com: Any sense when these names will be made public?

Llosa/Wertheim: No. Obviously the "big names" are what have made this investigation a national concern. And, in all candor, it's the main reason news organizations -- including Sports Illustrated -- are pursuing the story. But investigators insist that athletes are really ancillary to their investigation. They're much more interested in breaking up the distribution pipeline which, they allege, is a marriage of fraudulent anti-aging clinics, complicit compounding pharmacies and doctors who rubber-stamp prescriptions for human growth hormone (HGH), testosterone, steroids, etc., often without examining the patients.

For example, David Wilbirt, an Arizona doctor, was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Agency from 2001 to 2005 for allegedly writing 3,879 prescriptions between November 2004 and April 2005, all for "patients" who had requested drugs over the Internet. Though that was two years ago, his name has surfaced several times in the official documents we reviewed from the "Operation Netroids" investigation.

SI.com: Do investigators believe any of Wilbirt's "patients" were athletes?

Llosa/Wertheim: Yes. We'd already seen his name come up in conjunction with Kurt Angle, a 1996 Olympic gold-medal-winning freestyle wrestler and now a star professional wrestler who allegedly received two prescriptions for trenbolone and one for nandrolone between October 2004 and February '05. It turns out Angle isn't the only pro wrestler alleged to have received prescriptions from Wilbirt. According to the official documents we reviewed, Wilbirt was billed for HCG and the steroid stanozolol that were sent to WWE star Eddie Guerrero in early 2005. (Guerrero died on Nov. 13, 2005, in a Minneapolis hotel room due to what a coroner later ruled as heart disease, complicated by an enlarged heart resulting from a history of anabolic steroid use.) Wilbirt also allegedly issued prescriptions for the steroids nandrolone and stanozolol to Oscar Gutierrez, whose stage name is Rey Mysterio. (Through the WWE, Gutierrez declined comment.)

When reached at his home Wilbirt spoke with us briefly, asserting, "I'm not even practicing medicine now, so... I don't remember doing half the stuff you're talking about." (The Arizona Medical Board confirms that his license is currently suspended.) Asked specifically about the professional wrestlers, Wilbirt remarked: "I'll tell you one thing and then this conversation is going to end. They had done blood work and had laboratory work done and they had come to see me." Wilbirt obviously remains a "person of interest" for the investigators.

In total, there were 11 professional wrestlers listed in the documents that we saw. Some of these wrestlers are working as independents; some are out of the business entirely; others are first-tier stars. Consider Randy Orton, who allegedly received eight prescriptions for six different drugs -- stanozolol, nandrolone, anastrozole, Clomiphene citrate, oxandrolone and testosterone -- between March 2004 and August 2004. (Through the WWE, Orton declined comment.) Interestingly, according to the documents, Orton's prescriptions came from the same two doctors whose names appeared on the prescriptions in major league outfielder Gary Matthews Jr.'s file.

SI.com: Most of the athletes named in your previous stories were allegedly receiving human growth hormone. It sounds as though the professional wrestlers were allegedly mostly receiving steroids.

Llosa/Wertheim: Right. At some level this stands to reason: The skill-set required for pro wrestling is obviously different from that of most other competitive sports. According to the documents two prominent wrestlers, Adam Copeland, a.k.a. Edge, and Shane Helms, a.k.a. The Hurricane, received HGH. (Through the WWE, Copeland and Helms didn't respond to a request for comment.) But virtually all the others allegedly received a wide variety of anabolic steroids. In each case these were supplied by Applied, the Mobile, Ala., compounding pharmacy that was raided last fall.

SI.com: Does the WWE have a drug policy?

Llosa/Wertheim: Gary Davis, a WWE spokesman, pointed us to a Talent Wellness Program instituted in February 2006. As to whether anabolic steroids and HGH are banned, Davis sent us an email quoting the policy: "The WWE policy prohibits the use of performance-enhancing drugs, as well as other prescription drugs which can be abused, if taken for other than a legitimate medical purpose pursuant to a valid prescription from a licensed and treating physician. For purposes of WWE's policy, prescriptions obtained over the Internet and/or from suppliers of prescription drugs from the Internet are not considered to have been given for a legitimate medical purpose."

Citing privacy issues, Davis declined to say whether WWE wrestlers have tested positive for banned substances since the policy was implemented.
