You can say what you want about how "people say he's cleaned up his act..." but the fact that he JUST failed 9 months ago is PROBABLY a pretty good reason why they've steered him clear of the title picture, instead using him to make guys who are in the title picture look good, and will probably continue to do so. Congrats to him for "the most powerful people in the company" acknowledging that he turned his shit around for 6 years. Pretty sure "the most powerful people in the company" are the ones who suspended him last year for fucking up again and have kept him out of the title picture since... so... ya know...

yes, and given how sensitive WWE are nowadays in terms of the spotlight and PR and so forth because of things like the TV-PG related sponsors, the family image they've tried to attain and the going all out as a global brand, that even something like a false positive or a tainted supplement can lead to you failing a wellness test and they don't get reversed or overturned for the sake of the integrity of the policy/company.

Both titles have been "wrapped up" with long term champions the entire time he's been back until recently so that's simply not true, this is really the first chance he's had to get near the secondary belt. And you make it sound like the policy goes something along the lines of "Vince or Triple H get the test results, see who's failed, make a phone call and bin them for 30/60 days". It's an automatic thing, their hands are tied no matter what the reason for the failed test, they couldn't do anything about it even if they wanted to without pretty much destroying the entire policy.
