I don't want to believe this therefore it isn't true: 2016 WWE logic

UFC drug policy is much different than WWE's. It could just be something Brock Lesnar ate or drank (protein shake), but this seems pretty bad on both UFC and WWE.

It should be interesting to see how WWE deals with this... on the one hand, Brock wasn't competing for them when he tested positive - so they would probably just like to sweep it all under the carpet. But if it becomes headline news/a big thing - and with WWE being a publicly-traded company - I would think they'd have to do (or say) something. Hmmm...

I wish they would reveal what it was. It could be possible, like mentioned here, that what he took may have been a violation of the UFC/USADA rules, but not WWE's wellness policy, but I'm willing to bet if this is the scenario, WWE will add whatever Lesnar took in their wellness policy moving forward.

It's entirely possible that what USADA have pulled Brock up for isn't something that WWE have on their 'banned' list so to speak, their testing is far stricter than anything the WWE has. Admittedly the publicity surrounding this could force WWE to slap Brock on the wrist to appease the media, but he wasn't on active WWE duties when he was caught nor is it even necessarily something on their list. He'll get a '30 day suspension' most likely, which means nothing since he probably wasn't going to appear anyway.
Worst case scenario it moves up any WWE plans to give someone the big win over Brock, but let's be honest, that was never going to be Randy to begin with.

Here's WWE's statement -
“Brock Lesnar has not performed for WWE since WrestleMania and is not scheduled to return until Sunday, August 21.”

shouldn't really surprise anyone. truth is most of these athletes are taking things - doesn't take away from how great of an athlete brock is.
just as a tidbit for those interested, hgh used alone isn't really anabolic. it has lots of nice benefits - skin health, overall function etc, but when used for bodybuilding/muscle gaining purposes hgh is bet used at the same time as an anabolic steroid like testosterone. hgh alone is not very anabolic (encouraging of muscle growth).

This is the same company that fired Billy Gunn - who wasn't an active talent - for pissing dirty following a non-WWE event. He's a contracted WWE talent thus should be treated as such. Inactive, active, last month, last week, etc. doesn't matter.

Billy was full on WWE employee, not an 'independent contractor' or special attraction performer. Plus Billy was a head trainer that may or may not have tried to hide his failed test. You can't put him out there as a leader after that. Politicians are the only ones that can get away with that

Brock has told the AP
"We will get to the bottom of this."
This whole thing is odd as the AP also has copies of 3 letters of him passing his tests pre fight.

How many times was he tested? Wasn't it like 6 times and they've found something suspicious in only one of those tests? It could be anything with the rules being so strict these days.
Well a 30 day suspension makes no difference so I don't really see what WWE can do to punish him. Taking him out of SummerSlam is more damaging for them than it is for Brock. I bet he hasn't been tested once by WWE since he returned part time.

Inactive, active, last month, last week, etc. doesn't matter. I agree with this. However, just Joe Rogan said to Brendan Schuab on his podcast when Brendan questioned as to why Lesnar wasn't required to get tested 4 months before competing, Rogan said that Lesnar was made an exception because of his drawing power, WWE might be using this "exception" to effect. Is it fair? No it's not, but since Brock Lesnar draws, he gets away with certain things.

Steroids or not Mark Hunt was never going to win that fight after seeing him the first round. He looked like complete crap. Slow and fat.

If this is true, it's a PR hit for WWE, surely they have to suspend him or people will question whether or not WWE really tests their athletes. It would require WWE to become aware of what he was tested for. I doubt that is gonna happen as I am sure Vince will want to turn a blind eye. Is it possible that he failed for something that is in violation of UFC/USADA rules, but not the WWE Wellness Policy? Yup...that is possible. Also USADA does not release the name of the banned substance to the media. So this would require some sort of investigation/Brock telling someone, etc. Everybody lambasting WWE and Brock, get your panties out of a wad. They said potentially. I am not into MMA, but I follow a lot of people that do, and I don't remember ever hearing "potentially". Its the USADA....like Jon Jones, Brock has the right to an appeal. That appeal is him having his B sample tested. USADA has never been over turned on a B sample negative. This isnt WWE, UFC aint dealing with PEDs. They absolutely want them out of the sport. via PWInsider Here's WWE's statement - “Brock Lesnar has not performed for WWE since WrestleMania and is not scheduled to return until Sunday, August 21.” So his suspension should not begin till August 21. They have just publically acknowledged he is currently not working. I wonder if this will sever future UFC dealings for WWE. Vince loans Brock and will take a PR hit either way because of this failed test. If Vince kept him in house, there wouldnt have been the results provided to the media and could be easily buried under all the Orton violations.
