Agreed. Steroids is definately a problem in baseball and probably a bigger problem than we are led to believe in football. However as far as we know these athletes are making this poor choice on their own. Ive seen a documentary with ex wrestlers testifying that in the 80's McMahon himself not only encouraged steroid use for his employees but in a round about way demanded it for some. There is nothing more disturbing than the murder of a child. Especially if reports are true and the child was killed a day after the wife. It takes a sick individual to kill a kid but, to do it after having time to consider it is even worse.
Chris Benoit and his family found dead.

? Owen died from an accident, no steroids or drugs involved. Eddy Guerrero died from "natural causes," basically due to the abuse he did to himself years prior to his death. In fact, WWE fired Eddy for DUI offenses and only took him back when he proved he was clean.
Brian Pillman died from steroid/HGH abuse, but he was on that stuff well before he ever steped foot in a WWE ring. Benoit has yet to be proven anything when it comes to roids, but I assume it will come out as such.
Everybody else who has died, wasn't on the WWE's watch at the time. Hennig, Rude, Crash Holly, Luois Spicolli, Candido, Yokozuna, Duncam Jr, Martel etc. All were working elsewhere or not at all at the time of their death.
So was OJ Simpson.
I still havent said that he is responsible for Benoits actions. Im not trying to do that. We need to know all of the facts before we can say exactly what happened and who is responsible to what degree. The one thing we can say for sure at this point is Benoit killed his family and was too cowardly to accept consequences so he took his own life. With what we know right now there is no way to pin any blame at all on McMahon. However if insane amounts of roids are found in Benoits system(and Im sure there will be) and if there is any way to conclude that the killing was a result of roid rage then I would say McMahon and anyone who supported wrestling while knowing McMahon encouraged roid use has blood on their hands. Cant say that right now though. May never be able to prove exactly why he killed them even if roids are found in his system there may be no way to suggest that it was a roid rage.

This whole thing is going to turn into a steroid debate isn't it...Damn...The guy was sick, thats why he did this. Period.

I agree with you. Even if (and Im not saying that this is definately the case) steroid use and the wrestling industry contributed to his actions, there will probably never be a way to prove that to be the case.
I cant. The guy is such a huge scumbag that he deserves no credit or admiration for anything. He is a very disgusting businessman that only cares about his profits and not the well being of his employees or customers. That has been proven time and time again over the last 30 years.

Yeah, I knew this would surface eventually. Good find Rocky. I can do nothing but shake my head in disgust.

Its really ashamed. Daniel never got the chance to live his life. My favorite WM moment is now ruined. (when Benoit and Eddie Celebrated together) i hope the WWE never acknowledges him again and i hope they never let him in the WWE HOF.
Wow what a scumbag. Sounds like roid rages to me.

That doesn't matter though, does it? After all this would go against your belief that McMahon is backstage dispensing *** injections...
