In a joint meeting today with the RAW and SmackDown rosters in the United Kingdom, in Sheffield, Vince McMahon announced that within the next several weeks, a new drug testing policy will be implemented in which performance enhancing drugs, such as steroids, etc., recreational drugs, as well as abuse of prescription drugs will be banned.
In addition to the new drug testing procedure, there will also be an emphasis on cardiovascular examinations.
The specifics of the drug policy will be announced over the next several weeks. More details to follow. Check with WWE.com for the latest information.
Should you believe this will stick? No, no, no, probably not. But that they’d even TRY, whoa. This is the “we’re at least TRYING to fix this” message I’ve been waiting for, particularly the heart exam stuff.
I know Chris Masters ain’t the only guy on steriods, but, for a guy like him, where does this leave him? His gimmick and his reason for existance is based on his look, and his look has basically just been outlawed. Even if this only lasts for a short time, it’s gonna hugely affect some guys and their career.
