WWE released a statement saying they allow some of their wrestlers to use HGH. "WWE’s comprehensive Talent Wellness Policy, which is administered by an independent, third-party, clearly states hGH and hCG are among a long list of banned substances, however, due to certain medical conditions, there are a variety of therapeutic exemptions that account for approximately 7% of our contracted talent.” This quote is in response to the allegations (which by the way, these allegations were made two years ago so who knows if they've since abolished any form of HGH or TRT of any kind). Thanks for posting the quote admitting that they allow talent to use HGH. |

Besides, it's probably guys like Brock and other part-timers/old farts who don't wrestle 300 days a year. |

There's probably 350 or so contracted talent. 7% of 350 is around 24 people, which they probably have that many talents working under a part-time schedule. |

It's funny how most of the people on this board who wore tin foil hats about Roman's cancer supposedly being a work are also the ones wearing them about people supposedly being on the gas. to try and correlate those two groups of people as if there’s some point to be made there is beyond trivial. wrestlers are on the gas. it’s doctor prescribed. countless wrestlers discuss this, Kennedy as an easy example. |

Besides, it's probably guys like Brock and other part-timers/old farts who don't wrestle 300 days a year. I think only full-time talent are tested. Although this interview is over ten years old now so it may have changed (they didn’t have guys on Brock/Taker/Cena schedules then): David Leviss:] In your role as WWE talent are you subject to the provisions of the Wellness Policy? [Vince McMahon:] Let me answer where I think you're going. I do not test. I'm 62 years old. The Wellness Policy is a policy designed for talent that's regularly scheduled to compete, which I may wrestle a couple times a year. And not only not regularly scheduled, at 62 I'm not exactly a 24?year?old guy of which we're concerned for his wellness. So I don't fall in the category. [Leviss:] So you're not subject to the terms of the Wellness Policy? [McMahon:] No. [Leviss:] And are you subject to testing? [McMahon:] If I'm not in the Wellness Policy, then I'm not subject to testing, as I said before. I'm not a regularly scheduled performer. In addition to that I'm 62 years old, not 26. And the Wellness Policy is designed for those young competitors who compete on a regular basis. |

I honestly never understood why the WWE has a drug policy like actual sports. I get "wellness" and wanting to keep people healthy, etc. I'm talking about the fact that guys get suspended or fined or "3 strikes your out" for stuff like weed or HGH. but this is a scripted television show with choreographed moves. Its nothing like UFC where guys are literally hitting the crap out of each other, or football where if you're 265lbs of roided muscle and speed you're gonna kill someone. Literally no advantage comes to anyone in this business taking stuff. it'd be like if a movie company suspended an actor for juicing up for a role....makes zero sense to be honest. I get if you're high and you show up for a match you should be punished. Or drunk, or anything like that. But thats literally any job in the country....dont show up under the influence of anything, but if you're hurt and you can get HGH to help you heal quicker, how is that a suspendable offense? Simple, they want to be in the good graces of mainstream media. |

Simple, they want to be in the good graces of mainstream media. Steroids in wrestling do not serve the same function as they do in sports. In sports, it's a performance enhancement which gives an unfair competitive advantage. In wrestling, there's no need for a competitive advantage. So what are they using them for in wrestling? For *physical* enhancement, for the look of having big muscles. Anabolic steroids are scientifically linked to a host of negative conditions, both physiological and psychological. WWE is a company, and the wrestlers are working for the company, so this is huge legal issue if the steroids used for the job have professional consequences and are impacting the bodies of those workers. I don't think it's about the mainstream media (which is always beneficial) but it runs deeper than just the superficial media. There are legal implications here. Does that make sense? |
