The man who broke the story with the laundry list of wrestlers linked to Signature Pharmacy appearedy on MSNBC today.
Louis Fernando Llosa of Sports Illustrated hinted at the fact that more names will be released in the near future.
ESPN has already supplemented Llosa's list with Dave Bautista, Shoichi Funaki and Chris (Masters) Mordetzky.
Llosa also said that Kurt Angle was also on the customer list, but wouldn't refer to him as a pro wrestler - choosing to call him an Olympic Gold Medalist instead.
His choice of words has left many outside of the wrestling world scratching their heads and wondering if Llosa is foreshadowing more Olympic athletes who's names would be forthcoming.
Many within the wrestling business are confused by this list of names and how top stars like Triple H, John Cena and Bobby Lashley have not been caught.

lol Triple H is clearly not on them anymore. Cena maybe, Lashley yes but hey if Lesnar can pass then maybe anythings possible
I still don't get the purpose of callin wrestlers out on steroid abuse... it's like callin a tranny out for havin fake tits
Last time I checked, fake tits weren't killing people...
true, but honestly what's the point of treating this like a sport. I understand that 'roids are illegal so I don't want to hear about that. But really, this is entertainment, pure and simple. The fact is the viewing public demands the behemoths and you can't pack that much muscle onto the human frame without chemical enhancement. But congress calling the 'E out like they just broke the black sox scandal is effing ridiculous. Vince established years ago that this is not a sport, why are they still being treated like professional competitors?
I think the fake tits argument is actually a strong one. While there are niche markets there is a reason why the majority of porn stars have bleach blonde hair and fake tits, because mostconsumers want to see that. If people wanted wrestlers without the monster physiques they'd watch TNA.
Regardless of what you think ...
the WWE instituted an anti-drug policy in 2005. These men have all violated that policy.
ok. But I think we can all agree that the wellness program that these men have been suspended under was put in place in early 2006 after Eddie's death. And I hope that we can agree that it was a sham to keep the governement from looking too close at the industry at that time.
I guess maybe I'm the sick one who is willing to admit to myself that these adults are able to make decisions about their lives. Not one of these men has pleaded ignorance to the consequences of doing this stuff. So why aren't grown-ups allowed to make these choices? Because it's killing them? Then when will we outlaw cars or cigarettes or alcohol? Each of those kill more people every year individually than are involved in the wrestling business in its entirety. As much as I would love to see NASCAR banned because cars kill people, I don't see that happening anytime soon.
I believe the reason that Triple H, John Cena & Bobby Lashey escaped suspension is they were not on the list of customers from the Signature Pharmacy. It does not mean they are Clean. They just have a different supplier.
