Meltzer ended up leaving The Rocky Mountain News due to him making up Broncos stories. Hard to beleive he's a credible source.

Holy shit, Marc Mero & Steve Blackman are going at it on Nacey Grace right now!
Marc Mero looks like he had major plastic surgery (Not that it has anything to do with anything)
They were going back & forth for awhile, almost seemed like it could go violent.
They said Benoit's mother is blaiming the DEA agents for not arriving sooner or something & that the WWE was lying about Chris's song having mental retardation.


If someone sees the interview on youtube, post it.

Well, to be fair, nobody reads Meltzer for gridiron information.

I like how they picked the most insane person to do an interview with about roid rage. Yet surprisingly Warrior got around the loaded questioning to make his point while sounding intelligent to boot. But I did notice he was thinking about how to answer the questions about what he knows about the 'abuse' in the sport. To his credit he was quite frank about it all.

Next time add in that wrestling fans are closeted homosexuals (OMGLOLLOLOL!) and are inbred hicks.

Why did people go see Transformers? All those scenes with the robots were fake, because those cars can't actually transformer. What's the point?

I mean especially for him to openly admit it and try to offer an explanation. Its not sexy.

That was his wrestling catchphrase wasn't it? I forget.

For those who would like to understand, the 4:1 mentioned is the chemical balance of unbound testosterone in your system, its virtually the only way to check for people who have only injected testosterone and not taken any other anabolic steroids to supplement it. Test-1 alone is not as powerful as the others could be, but it is considered the base of any "cycle"

And no thats not from the wikipedia. I can speak knowledgeably about a few things, and bodybuilding is one of them.

that dumb bitch on Hannity and Colmes pretty much sums up the absurdity of Fox News (and the cable news networks in general)

"I think we can discount that Beniot was using steroids for any sort of therapeutical purposes"

"No you can't. You don't know that."

"You're right, I don't know that, but i think we can pretty much put that aside."

WTF!?!

Watching that I would've sworn he was about to make a negative point against Bush. If anything Nash has always come off as one of the smartest guys in the business. Lazy, arrogant and manipulative? Yes, but he always seems to have a handle on everything. Read some of his interviews from a couple of years back.
Fox is trash and unless you have some gas or a match to light it they don't want you. I keep waiting for a Fox news person such as that bitch to cut in naying, "but it's got what plants crave!"

Nash handled himself really well, and this whole topic shows how bias and rediculous the media can be. The media will force whatever viewpoint they want you to believe down your throat until you believe it or can no longer stomach it. This whole thing IMO was a combination of all the shit Benoit was taking as well as his obvious personal problems. If steroids were the primary cause you should look at any professional athlete as a possible murderer.

Fox News aren't the only ones. But the way their correspondents tried to spin what Nash was saying was absolutely ridiculous.

The woman says since Nash has never seen roid-rage, she questions his credibility. :lol

"I know that's not what you wanna hear."

So they are cutting him off. :|

wuh-oh. Steroids found in Benoit.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/17/wrestler.murder.ap/index.html

nvestigators said Tuesday they found steroids and other drugs in the body of pro wrestler Chris Benoit, who killed his wife and young son last month before hanging himself in the family's home.

Investigators found steroids in the body of pro wrestler Chris Benoit who killed his family in June. His son tested positive for Xanax.

Besides steroids, Benoit's body contained the anti-anxiety drug Xanax and the painkiller hydrocodone, according to a statement from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

The GBI said Benoit tested negative for blood alcohol.

Benoit's wife, Nancy, tested positive for Xanax, hydrocodone and the painkiller hydromorphone.

The 7-year-old son, Daniel Benoit had Xanax in his system.

"It is our belief that Daniel Benoit was sedated by Xanax at the time of his murder," said Georgia Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kris Sperry.

The GBI said it could not perform tests for steroids or human growth hormones on the son because of a lack of urine.

The test results were expected to shed more light on Benoit's last moments. Authorities said Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son in their suburban Atlanta home, placed Bibles next to their bodies and then hanged himself on the cable of a weight machine.
Don't Miss

Anabolic steroids were found in the home, leading officials to wonder if the drugs played a role in the killings. Some experts believe steroids can cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage."

Federal authorities have charged Benoit's personal physician, Dr. Phil Astin, with improperly prescribing painkillers and other drugs to two patients other than Benoit. He has pleaded not guilty.

Investigators have also raided Astin's office several times since the deaths, seizing prescription records and other documents.

Before he was charged, Astin told the AP he prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past. He would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office June 22, the day authorities believe Benoit killed his wife.

Nancy Benoit -- There were 3 different drugs found in Nancy's system. One was hydrocodone (aka loretab or lorset), hydromorphone (dilaudid) (a breakdown product of hydrocodone), and xanax. All three drugs were at therapeutic, not toxic levels. They also found a blood alcohol level of .184, which could clearly be due to body decomposition. It was not possible to say how much was in blood at time of death.

Daniel Benoit -- Chris Benoit's son tested positive for xanax, which is relatively elevated and is not normally given to child. Based upon their findings, the boy was sedated at the time of or just before he was murdered.

Chris Benoit -- Wrestler Chris Benoit tested positive for xanax and hydrocodone, as did his wife, and the levels were in the therapeutic range for normal usage. Tests of his urine found the only steroid he had been taking was testerone, discovered at a level of 207 micrograms per liter, which is slightly elevated. There was no other articifial steroids present in system

It's a case of semantics. When we (and the general public) think "steroids", we think designer anabolic steroids - the stuff that makes muscles huge. Of course, testosterone is a steroid in strict medical terms, but isn't the experienced body-builder's choice anabolic steroid at all. Not to mention Benoit had unworking testicles and probably would've needed testosterone replacement. These semantics will allow CNN/Fox to confuse the two however. Which is a sad state of affairs.

Now, don't forget to take into account that builders of his age and lowered test levels sometimes begin or end a cycle with only 1-test. It isn't deca or ana or anything, but it helps the body prepare or decline from a cycle.

ATLANTA (Sept. 5) - Pro wrestler Chris Benoit suffered brain damage from his years in the ring that could help explain why he killed his wife, son and himself, a doctor who studied Benoit's brain said Wednesday.

Im aware that this might have been posted on the wrestling thread, but seeing as this is the official Benoit thread, I think it should be here as well.

Also, on a minor note AOL changed the title from "Doctors Suggest Brain Damage for Benoit" to "Benoit's Brain Damaged by Concussions"

If the man had severe head trauma, you don't think for one second it might have something to do with killing his wife and kid?
