In the end, the list Pillow posted tells the story. It is a staggering number of under 45 years old deaths in this industry. These are disturbed individuals for the most part who either by themselves or encouragement from their bosses regularly abuse their bodies not just minorly, but a massive amount through drug use. This combined with the partying lifestyle. And we are having caniptions about the piddling steroid use in baseball. Yet, noone cares about the ridiculous abuse in comparison these guys go through.

Hey, McMahon is a great American who used the system to make massive amounts of money building his empire. Who really cares how many young men and women die in the process, right?? I guess they fill our superhero need so it's all good.

If you are well read and dont abuse them they are nowhere near as bad as the general public would think. Just like anything else if you abuse it you will pay the price

You sound like someone else I know... only he was talking about cocaine.

Truth is, the majority of people DO abuse them and just because you think you aren't, it doesn't mean you're not. It's amazing what people can be convinced of.

folks will ALWAYS find a way to justify doing something they have no business doing.

the old standby being 'everybody does it'--usually spoken by a thief or someone who cheats.

That is really creepy.

I really can't imagine what it will be like for his other two kids growing up. How do you ever understand something like this?

I come here to get my beaking news.




It's always in this room before any of the news agencies get a hold of it and start distorting facts.

ATLANTA — The personal doctor of pro wrestler Chris Benoit was charged Monday with improperly dispensing painkillers and other drugs.

The seven-count indictment said Dr. Phil Astin dispensed drugs including Percocet, Xanax, Lorcet and Vicoprofen between April 2004 and September 2005.

The recipients were identified in the indictment by the initials O.G. and M.J. Benoit's initials were not listed.

Astin was expected to make an initial court appearance Monday afternoon.

A criminal complaint was also filed, but was under seal. A law enforcement official close to the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity before the hearing, said the case involves steroids.

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!

In one of the articles they stated that they have been doing random drug testing and strengthened their policies in the past year or so.

Overall though, I think people are too quick to shout 'steroids' when they see someone with a well-built physique. I know lots of people that were in my gym that had a remarkable dedication to their diet and excercise and combined with their great genetics they got the results they were looking for.

i just find it kind of ironic that they announce it had nothing to do with it, and then stuff is all over the house.
