Astin pleaded not guilty and was being held in lieu of $125,000 bond. He will be under house arrest once he posts bond and must surrender his medical license, U.S. Magistrate Judge Linda Walker ordered.
Astin had written prescriptions for about 1 million doses of controlled substances over the past two years, including "significant quantities" of injectable testosterone cypionate, an anabolic steroid, according to the criminal complaint. The complaint by Drug Enforcement Administration agent Anissa Jones said the amount of prescriptions was "excessive" for a medical office with a sole practitioner in a rural area like Carrollton, about 40 miles west of Atlanta. Excessive??? Just maybe! One million doses...I wish I had stock in the pharma company that filled those prescriptions!

Dr. Phil Astin prescribed a 10-month supply of anabolic steroids to Chris Benoit every three to four weeks between May 2006 and May 2007, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent said in an affidavit filed Friday and made public Monday.

There are no references to Chris Benoit on the WWE website...ALL have been removed.

I doubt it SS. THey probably made bulk orders for him and a few other Wrestling Meatheads.

I've stayed out of this thread for a variety of reasons, all of which are moot now. This is a terrible tragedy -- period! Unfortunately, being that the WWE is "entertainment" and not a sport, thus it is not regulated as a sport, fall under any governing body, etc. -- there may be a very large gap where this falls into.
The tragic events here took professional wrestling to an entirely new, and disgusting, dimension. This was not a case of a superstar committing suicide, nor was it a case of of a superstar dying of a drug overdose or of heart failure as a result of steriods, painkillers, or other medication abuse. For whatever the "reason" -- and in my mind, there will never be a "reason" -- we now have a superstar dead, and more importantly a wife and mother, and a young child, also dead. I don't know if this is something Congress can get invovled in and intervene. Allegedly, the WWE "wellness" policy has a very large loophole -- and I don't know if it's true, but allegedly, if you have a prescription for the steriods, then via the language in the policy you have a "negative" test. Perhaps that means that your test is negative for "illegal" or unauthorized steriods, but prescription steroids are "acceptable" per se. If this is true, whatever the case might be -- a massive and very drastic series of changes must occur. Laws need to be changed, oversight should be demanded, and there must be accountability. This needs to be continual and always improving. A tragedy like this must not happen again. Eric
