The action came after the 10 men - allegedly including former world champions Edge and Randy Orton, ECW champ John Morrison, Brit William Regal and rising star Mr Kennedy - were identified as clients of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando.
Sports Illustrated, who helped police with original bust, list the 10 as Mr Kennedy, Chavo Guerrero, Gregory Helms, Randy Orton, John Morrison, Shoichi Funaki, Charlie Haas, Umaga, William Regal and Edge.

    Why are they being suspended?

    It's not a sport, it's not affecting their performance...seems ridiculous that they'd suspend anyone in WWF for using roids.

    Since Mcmahon himself is bascially a poster child for roids

    It most certainly does effect their performance

    Which means if anything management should encourage it

    It's all about damage control. WWE is publicly traded. McMahon has seen his stock tumble 3.5 points (16%)over the past 4 months. With what happened with Benoit, it's only a matter of time before the government comes after WWE again over steroids. Everything in the news about wrestling has been negative. Every story you hear is about another wrestler's death and surprise surprise, a history of steroids is always there (whether or not the steroid use actually lead to the death). With public opinion turning really sour, McMahon is running scared.
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    How can the government come after WWE for steroids? They aren't a sport, it's acting. That would be like the government going after movie studios because some actors were using cocaine.

    It's not so much going after them for using. I wouldn't be surprised if they go after the WWE for distribution.

    Because of the Benoit situation (one could argue that Roid Rage led him to kill his entire family before offing himself). Yes, it's acting...but steroid use for illegitimate purposes is not legal -- and there are far reaching consequences, potentially, if a publically-traded company is seen as encouraging something illegal.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
