Bottom line is that drug use is a problem in wrestling in particular no matter how you slice it. Whether or not it's analagous in film, music, or everyday society is irrelevant.
I hope something is done about it, and it should be. Instead of saying 'well what about them', they should focus inward and fix their own problems rather than blaming congress for picking on them.

He does make good points, but one important thing is that drugs enter into the profession and liveliehood of pro wrestlers. With the exception of action stars and stuntmen cast for their build (who are usually current or ex wrestlers anyways), drug use in other forms of entertainment is purely recreational. That means it should be regulated like normal drug use in society, and not as a black cloud looming over an industry.

Something should be done, but I hardly can get into a huge debate about it. I just think although Davairi and others may be right, technically, but they are getting off topic and shifting the focus.
