WWE Says There Is A New Steroid Policy
taken from www.PWBTS.com:

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 31, 2005--WWE Chairman Vincent K. McMahon announced what would appear to be a revolutionary change in his company's attitude toward the growth-enhancing substances that have been such a part of sports news over recent months; with the BALCO scandal that has affected major league baseball, with such superstars as Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds caught up in its wake; a scandal that is now potentially set to affect the National Football League with the revelations that members of the Carolina Panthers had filled steroid prescriptions during the 2003 NFL playoffs.

This scandal, followed by the news that the US House Committee on Government Reform announced yesterday that it would call representatives from the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, NCAA, USA Track and Field and possibly other sports associations to outline their league's steroid policies; and is considering whether to propose a single, stringent steroids policy for all athletics in the United States.

In light of these events, McMahon, representing his World Wrestling Entertainment company, announced today that his sports entertainment company would be instituting comprehensive, universal, and random testing for growth-enhancing substances among all his company's performers.

McMahon stated that he had contemplated such a move for some time, but that the time spent in recovery after his injury suffered at a recent PPV event, where he seriously injured a quadricep muscle; allowed him to make the decision that he acknowledged might well have an effect on his business and force changes in the manner in which it is presented.

McMahon stated that "this new testing policy may well force us to take a look at the manner in which we present our Superstars. But we feel, as the premier company within our industry, that our ability to create new characters and to create dramatic and entertaining storylines will overcome any short-term concerns that this policy might create."

McMahon continued "Where better than the weekend that celebrates sports entertainment, Wrestlemania weekend; and in the media center of entertainment, Hollywood, that we announce a revolutionary change in our company, one that we believe will allow our artform to go forward and to grow; with less burden on our Superstars to maintain artificial standards of body image and the temptation to use growth-enhancing substances to achieve this standard."

Details on the new program were not provided, but unconfirmed reports suggest that WWE may join The National Football League, United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), and the University of Utah in the development of their new new Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory at the University; which will conduct state-of-the-art research on new means of detection of growth-enhancing substances.

Cruiserweight 3:16 does not have that much rep yet (10+)
Well it's about time the WWE did something about the use of steroids. In theory it sounds great, but in reality will this change the industry for the better? There are ways of passing drugs tests, and I doubt some of the wrestlers will be stupid enough to be caught out. Besides, I doubt HHH will need to take a test considering he's family.

Really? Why?

Wrestling isn't a sport

It doesn't enhance there performance to a point where they have a legit edge over there opponant

Infact the main reason they would use them is to enhance there look, plus how Ironic is it that Vince who blantanly was on the Juice in 99 is now getting on other workers back for it.

YEA, but Dave, you can't deny all the deaths in wrestling where using steroids played a big part in the death. Pillman, Bulldog, Hawk, Perfect, Rude etc.. You don't have heart attacks at age 37 for no apparent reason.

It sends a bad message to everyone.

It's a good move by WWE in theory. Do I think it will hold up? Hell no. Guys will still use and will continue to use.

With all the other ways to "enhance" one's self, I'm surprised ANYONE uses steroids anymore.

This must've been an April Fool's Joke, for God's Sake BATISTA is in the Main Event Sunday and he is probably the most obvious steroid user in the company. That wouldn't look good on Vince if this was his stance

Hey it's their choice, no one forces them to take it, IMO it's like someone who works in an office and takes steroids there no difference as long as the drug in question doesn't effect that persons performance to do the job they are paid to do

from PWBTS.com:

"As you may have noticed yesterday...a certain article appeared on PWBTS.com, entitled: "BREAKING NEWS: WWE announces new stringent steroid testing policy (Business Wire)".

As you also may have noticed...yesterday was April 1, April Fool's Day.

As always, April Fool's "stories" are always linked to a page with the legend of April Fool's Day. In keeping with the annual tradition of getting up at least 1 April Fool's article on PWBTS.com...I thought it might be appropriate to do an article on that all-too topical subject.

The idea is to get you to think a little bit, and have a smile and a chuckle in a world that's been all too sad recently, with Iraq, terrorism, the Terri Schaivo case, and the imminent passing of Pope John Paul II.

I only wish that I were able to truly report such a policy being instituted by WWE...but it's sadly just another example of our yearly attempt to have a little fun.

Hope you enjoyed it...
