not all growth hormones are "hgh" and vice versa "hgh" is a common term and for many prescribed drugs, it is a misnomer... children with pituitary issues or hormone deficiencies most definitely inject the prescribed medicine , as directed by their endocrinologists or physicians
so now that we are on the same page, the (reported) needle marks do not necessarily mean that the boy was injecting into his veins, no? if it is injected into the muscle or tissue, would it not still leave marks?
WWE just released this gem, seemingly defending steroid use to a degree: http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/benoitpressrelease WWE® Shocked At Latest Developments In Benoit Tragedy, Concerned By Sensationalistic Reporting Written: June 26, 2007 STAMFORD, Conn., June 26, 2007 – World Wrestling Entertainment is stunned and saddened by the details released by local authorities concerning the double homicide-suicide involving Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son, Daniel. However, WWE is concerned with the sensationalistic reporting and speculation being undertaken by some members of the media following the press conference held by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney. During the press conference, the investigating authorities made the following points, all of which run contrary to the media speculation that "roid rage" was a factor in the senseless murders and suicide: 1. The authorities stated that all drugs found in the house were believed to be legal prescriptions. 2. Steroids were not, and could not, be related to the cause of death (asphyxiation). Authorities had no factual basis to speculate as to Benoit’s state of mind, and rightly did not do so. 3. Toxicology tests have not even been completed, so there is no current evidence that Benoit even had steroids or any other substance in his body. In that regard, on the last test done on Benoit by WWE's independently administered drug testing program, done on April 10, 2007, Benoit tested negative. 4. The physical findings announced by authorities indicate deliberation, not rage. The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death. By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage. The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage. 5. WWE strongly suggests that it is entirely wrong for speculators to suggest that steroids had anything to do with these senseless acts, especially when the authorities plainly stated there is no evidence that Benoit had steroids in his body, pending the toxicological reports, and that they had no evidence at this time as to the motive for these acts. WWE is continuing to monitor the ongoing investigation being conducted by local authorities. They look awfully defensive ...........................
Probably not on the arm. Most likely rear or stomach, and marks are much smaller and go away much faster in those locations. There are no "track marks"
Maybe the wife actually murdered the son, and in response Benoit murdered his wife and then realizing he lost everything killed himself.
They aren't guilty, but this is a reactionary press release that makes them look guilty (if that makes sense). Its a pre-emptive shot across the bow because they know in the days to come everyone is going to be pointing fingers at them. Benoit is an adult and he is responsible for everything he has done. The environment that pro wrestling creates for its workers don't help the situation though. Its kind of like WWE is the bartender and the wrestlers are patrons. You are responsible for how drunk you get, but there comes a time when a bartender has to step in and cut you off.
It has already been mentioned that they were found in his home and he had a legal prescription for it. Yet WWE said he just tested negative. Doesn't make sense. I'm not a betting man, but I bet the autopsy finds evidence of steroid use and/or abuse.
so when is congress going to get involved in policing pro wrestling, if this indeed turns out to be drug related.
Congress doesn't have much to threaten the WWE with, besides a federal drug probe, which has been done already. MLB had an antirust exemption that Congress was holding over them to fix their issues.
Wow your really reaching deep .... I think it was Aliens who came down over the weekend and brainwashed Chris to kill his family then himself.. but new evidence shows it was Al-Qaida
Damn, I didn't really wanna believe this at first. Being such a widely respected man throughout his career and hearing so many good things about him AS A WRESTLER, it's hard to fathom that he would actually do such a thing. When I first heard, I was optimistic that it was somehow retaliation to the wife murdering the or SOMETHING. But.. now, *sigh* If you look back at what happened, Benoit missed a house show prior to Vengeance because he had to tend to a "family emergency". A family emergency meaning... he had to go home to murder his wife and son and then commit suicide? There HAS to be more to this story.. but nonetheless, no justification for killing the 7 year old child. none..........
