Wellness Policy Suspensions

Based on independent information received from investigators from the Albany County, NY D.A.’s office, WWE has today, under the penalty provisions of its wellness policy, issued suspension notices to 10 of its performers for violations. It has been WWE’s practice not to release the names of those who have been suspended, but notice has been sent to all WWE performers that names of anyone who is suspended under the Wellness Policy as of November 1 will be made public.

MAJOR NEWSPAPER NAMES WWE WRESTLERS THAT WERE CLIENTS OF ONLINE PHARMACY BUSTED FOR DISTRIBUTING STEROIDS AND OTHER DRUGS
by Buck Woodward @ 5:42:36 PM on 8/30/2007

Following WWE's announcement that it has suspended 10 stars for Wellness Policy violations, the New York Daily News has an article online listing the names of WWE stars that were identified as clients of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando, the site raided by law enforcement agencies in February for distributing drugs (including steroids) to clients that had not been examined by doctors.

It is important to note that the list of names in the Daily News article is NOT the list of the ten wrestlers that were suspended today, and is NOT an indication of any illegal actions on their part. This list is simply wrestlers that were clients of the Signature Pharmacy. When we have more information on this story, we will report it.

The eleven names in the article are Randy Orton, Charlie Haas, Adam Copeland (Edge), Robert Huffman (King Booker), Shane Helms, Mike Bucci (Simon Dean), Anthony Carelli (Santino Marella), John Hennigan (John Morrison), Darren Matthews (William Regal), Ken Anderson (Kennedy) and Chavo Guerrero.

If they do take them all off TV, rather than making them work for free, then Monday Night RAW is going to be DULL.

they wont suspend all of them illumi. like you said they might work for free.

if anything they'll be suspended..WWE will take those superstars and suspend them during a 6 month to a year time. someone like Edge. he'll just serve his suspension now that he's hurt. i cant see WWE letting them go all at once.

im surprised to see edge on that list...but newspapers arent always truthful

pretty disappointing to see this. i guess Randy Orton dosent stand much chance of getting the title at Unforgiven now.

I'm more worried about grown men still watching wrestling.

 

[Tha_Wood]

why? its a form of entertainment, just like a TV show or a movie.

 

[The.Menace]

I'm noit into wrestling stuff (agree will ill joe here) ..... but .... I don't really get what they might get suspended for...??? I mean, do they expect all those muscles to be "real" ...??? tz.

im more worried about you watching garbage shows on MTV

like Wood said its entertainment. its my 2 hour escape from reality.

i dont see why people think it is odd for grown men to watch wrestling. is it any more odd for grown men to watch boxing. wrestling isn';t really fake like most people would like to assume it is, calling it fake is having a bad understanding of the word fake. they have more injuries than most pro sports players and work harder than most too. /
/
wrestling is the ultimate never ending story of good vs. evil. it';s the same story you find a dozen movies a year. /

and a person is able to get big like those wrestlers without roids. look at cena. the man has a degree in nutrion and physical fitness.

I think they expect their employees to not break the law by illegally purchasing drugs.

Mike Bucci aka Simon Dean has been released.

Damm you know what i just thought. with Kennedy being on the list is WWE gonna change the Mcmahon son storyline???

maybe suspend him now and bring him back right around the time of the season premiere in Oct.
