So TNA are going to start random drug testing
 
Partial Source(s): TNAWrestlingNews.com & The Wrestling Observer

It is being discussed right now in TNA to begin Random drug testing effective in September. It is rumored that the wrestlers will be notified of this new policy at the Hard Justice PPV on Sunday to give the wrestlers 30 days notice. There are concerns how this will effect the talent. Some believe that while TNA is not under investigation at this time, it would present them in a good light despite no allegations of substance abuse in there company specifically.

While the recent news of WWE's Wellness Policy has been being accused of being to relaxed and not as stringent as it could be, TNA is making this move because it affects the Wrestling Business as a whole.

Others share concerns with how the drug testing will effect big name talent within TNA. WWE has been accused of favoring talent such as Triple H and Batista while rumors run rampant about the possibility of similar actions being taken on stars such as Kurt Angle.

While it's abundantly clear many within TNA's roster are not taking anabolic steroids given the size and stature of many of it's talent, there are still concerns of recreational drug use among those in the locker room.

Looking at the bigger picture of TNA, Dixie Carter herself stated months back that there is no problems with drugs in TNA. She did however state that the only problem or run she had with substance abuse was with Raven but she later stated that the situation was under control.

Is TNA planning to do right by the wrestlers with this drug plan or will it be used to cast out a few black sheep from the locker room?

Only Time will tell.





And somewhere Test cries

They should do a hilarous backstage segment where the Christian Coalition during an interview is forced to take a kayfabe random drug test.

Let's say they do start testing, what are they going to do with guys who test positive for something? If they actually enforce punishment, a lot of their roster is either going to be suspended or fired.

lol

The ones who are not on drugs will probably start using drugs if it gets them out of their contracts with TNA.

LOL, TNA taking actions, that was a good one.

You've all got it wrong, morons!

:roll:

Those who are found to not be on drugs will be given them.

Good Point. They found their loophole that leads to the WWE, and certain burial.

Get buried for 100 grand, or be a star for $30,000.

Which would you choose?

Depends on what I was out to do. Just make money? I'd put Trips over every night for life.

I highly doubt that everyone who gets signed starts at 100 grand.

Clearly you're knowledge and wisdom is wasted on this forum. You should go out into the world and use your skill to try and make it a better place.
