NEW HAVEN, Conn. (Aug. 31) - World Wrestling Entertainment has suspended 10 of its wrestlers for violations of a policy that tests for steroids and other drugs, the company said Thursday. Stamford-based WWE says it issued suspension notices based on independent information from the prosecutor's office in Albany County, N.Y., which has been investigating illegal steroid sales.

Neither the WWE nor the Albany County district attorney's office would comment on the suspended wrestlers' identities Thursday. No criminal charges were filed, they said. Under a WWE wellness policy instituted last year that requires tests for steroids and other drugs, a wrestler faces a 30-day suspension without pay for a first violation, a 60-day suspension for a second violation and firing for a third violation. Performers are tested at least four times per year.

"We are very actively working to eradicate the use of steroids and performance enhancing drugs in the WWE," WWE spokesman Gary Davis said. "Today's action is part of that effort."

SodaHeads, I just can’t make this stuff up.

    Whether or not this is an actual sport is irrelevant. There are severe dangers to taking these drugs. I am, for the most part, liberal about what people do to their own bodies but this is a business and if one person finds it necessary to take performance enhancers then everyone else will have to in order to keep up. In other words in order for the business end ot be fair no one should feel compelled to use these substances and therefore they should be out of bounds.

    I quit watching WWE because of the scantily dressed bimbos and the Bret Hart screw job in Montreal in 1997. If a wrestler wants to die young due to taking steroids then it is his choice.

    The only time steroids ought to be used is when they're being used by full-grown men who aren't taking part in competitive sports and under the correct dosage.
    We already know the effects of steroid abuse, but even if they aren't being abused by wrestlers or professional athletes, they still shouldn't be on them because it's cheating. If you're getting paid to compete athletically, you've got an obligation to fulfill to compete honestly and fairly.

    it's very important for NO ONE to take steriods!!! it destroys body and brain. and as proved in the benoit case, it kills, in more ways than one.
    i think wrestling (this kind) is a joke, i guess they do it for the appearance only, to 'look' tough. i think they all look dumb anyway.

    I am glad that the WWE suspended the ten wrestlers for steroid use but they should have done it long before now. I have a strong suspicion that this is just the tip of the iceberg and that there are a darn sight more than ten using steroids anyway. There has been too much of a coverup for too many years allowing the use of these drugs which lead up to the horrible events of late. I just wonder if perhaps there were other things happening that was being swept under the carpet so to speak.

    John pretty much said it all. Again, too little too late for all the families left to grieve the Benoit tragedy.

    It's not a sport, it's a soap opera. Why does it matter if they juice? The consequences of steroid use are widely known...yet they still wear spandex

    That's dumb! I remember I watched a documentary where the WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon admitted providing steroids to HHH, Undertaker, and Kane. I guess they're getting strict since what happened to Chris Benoit recently.
