So he left WWE for TNA for a reduced schedule. Whether or not he is completely clean now, I don't know, but I do know that he does have a reduced schedule, he doesn't have to bust his ass as much, so he must be at least more mentally healthy than he was in the WWE.
The misconception that Angle left WWE because he refused to get help is just wrong.

That was somewhere between him stating that TNA was kicking WWE's ass and stating that Dixie was a better business person than Vince McMahon....
Let's take him on his word. By the way, those weren't his steroids...He was holding them for Eddie.
So...What's more believable? Guy who has been on record receiving steroids, who later got arrested for DUI, who let his life fall apart because of wrestling, who told the press he'd never stop, even if it killed him leaving on his own terms, or WWE cutting the cord on someone because they didn't want him dying on their watch?
WWE letting someone out of their contract so they could go to the competition, or WWE cutting their losses?
And why, if it was clear Angle would leave otherwise, wouldn't they work with him to arrange a lighter schedule?
