WWE RAW Superstar Edge has responded to the Sports Illustrated story linking him to the nationwide steroid investigation on his MySpace web site. Edge wrote:
Dear Blogees (did I just create a word?)
If you are reading this blog and it sees the light of day, than that means that an article has been written by a Sports Illustrated writer that states I received HGH from a pharmacy in 2003. So, I'll cut right to the chase like I always do. It's true. However, it's not exactly breaking, earth shattering news. It's actually old news. I admitted to this on national television in Canada in 2004 on Off The Record. When host Michael Lansberg asked me if I'd ever taken steroids, without consulting me before the show, I was perturbed, but answered without hesitation, "Yes, I have."
In hindsight, I'm glad he asked the question. It got it out in the open and anyone who follows my career or supports me already knows this information about me. I won't try to defend my actions. I took them when coming back from my spinal fusion neck surgery when I was told by doctors that it would help the bones grow back around the screws and plate that were now inserted in my neck. I'm not glorifying. I'm not condoning. Just telling you why I decided to take them. I took blood tests, consulted doctors, read up, studied them, got prescriptions, and decided to do it. That's pretty much it folks, but I wanted you to get my response straight from me and not through the words of another write. Now as I'm sure most you can tell, I don't take steroids and haven't in a very long time, long before the WWE drug testing wellness policy was implemented. Hell, I barely see the inside of a gym anymore, let alone take performance enhancing substances

It's good that he's responded to the accusations. Besides, the prescriptions provided to Rey Mysterio and Edge were not the same kind of s*it given to Randy Orton. These two guys got rehab steroids, given to help post-injury. Orton was on a friggin' roid-rage cocktail. But why are they acting like wrestlers are the only guys doing it? Does anybody remember the MLB steroids scandal a little while back? Of course not, because they just wan't more ammo against pro wrestling. Besides, why was the wrestling part featured on SI.com anyway? This is sports-entertainment, not that these guys don't put in heavy physical labor. Copeland is a nice guy, and he may be the only WWE superstar to have the balls to respond, so I give him alot of credit.

All I have to say is you can tell he took HGH by looking at his head. Him and Barry Bonds have the same freak forehead. But guess what Edge is man enough to admit what he has done. No BS, no crap. Just hey this is what I took, this is why I took it. I never liked Edge, and think he is a bad wrestler, but after that I respect him as a man.

"All publicity is good publicity"
The doctor is the only one in trouble, unless one of them has a heart attach caused by steroid use. Eddie Guerrero already paid the price.
