    Of all sports entertainment, this sport needs the use of steroids, to make the appearance of the players to be more like a warrior. These people are idiots for this type of policy.

    These aren't just your average joes that are getting suspended. Most of them are big names and play a significant role on the shows. I just hope that WWE is serious about suspending these guys and send a real message that there will be consequences for steroid use.

    Names Revealed By Sports Illustrated:


    * Charlie Haas - Purchased drugs as late as January 2007.

    * Chavo Guerrero - Purchased drugs as late as May 2006.

    * Edge - Purchased drugs as late as February 2007.

    * Funaki - Purchased Somatropin in March 2006.

    * Gregory Helms - Purchased drugs as late as February 2007.

    * John Morrison - Purchased five different drugs as late as February 2007 .

    * Mr. Kennedy - Purchased three drugs between October 2006 and February 2007, including testosterone, which is an anabolic steroid. Kennedy sternly claimed in a recent interview entitled 'WWE Stopped My Steroid Use' that he completely stopped doing steroids as soon as the WWE Wellness Policy was implemented.

    * Randy Orton - Purchased drugs as late as February 2007.

    * Umaga - Purchased Somatropin as late as December 2006.

    * William Regal - Purchased drugs as late as November 2006.

    Alot of these guys are on pain killers for their injuries. They don't make much so they basically have to perform.

    I'm not going to claim that pro bodybuilders don't juice, but one thing to keep in mind that it is a lot harder for a professional wrestler to keep weight on when they have to perform several nights a week. That's a lot of calories expended. Just because a bodybuilder is huge doesn't necessarily mean they take more roids than a smaller guy.

    Didn't really care to read the article, but were they suspended for NOT using steroids?

    I am not sure of the quantity of steroids taken by wrestler versus bodybuilder, but I can tell you unequivocally that the VAST majority of bodybuilders are on steroids (among other banned substances).

    I have a friend that is an amateur bodybuilder.....amateur....and he has told me that he has to do it to be competitive. If not, you fall behind while the other guys continue to add mass in a big way. He's also told me that many of the top bodybuilders not only take the stuff, but sell it or resell it to the bodybuilding community.

    Bottom line according to him....it's RAMPANT in the sport. He also told me there are many ways to get around or falsify any testing they are put through.

    doesnt shock me. how do they get away with it? simple, do kids/teens watch bodybuilding? most cant name any body builders, hence theres no big outcry to go crack down on them.

    Umaga? William Regal? Regal has the physique of my 55 year old dad (not a good thing).
