Could Better Drug Tests Have Saved Chris Benoit and His Wife and Son?

World Wrestling Entertainment has a steroids testing plan in place. Is it enough? Could better testing have saved Chris Benoit and his wife and son? The debate is now nearly four weeks old. But it will not go away thanks to cable TV show and the World Wide Web. It hit a fairly furious point on the CNN nightly show that is hosted by Nancy grace on Friday night. First Bryan Alvarez delivered this: "According to the policy that WWE released after they had the meeting explaining that this was going to be done, the policy says that they test your testosterone to epitestosterone ratio. And if you've got a 4-to-1 or below, you pass. If you have a 10-to-1, it's an automatic failure. If you're between 4-to-1 and 10-to-1, as David Finlay said, they're going to talk to your doctor. They're going to make sure that everything is OK. They're going to make sure that your ratios are this high perhaps because this is what you're producing naturally." He added, "However, the policy also states that you can use testosterone and such for purposes of injury rehabilitation and purposes of replacement therapy. So if your doctor says that this is why you've got these prescriptions, you're OK. That was challenged by Dave Finlay. "No, it won't. And what does he know? He's never been in the doors of WWE. I'm there every single day. I'm on the road four days a week. I know what the policy is. I went through it, and I have a lot of talent with me that have gone through it. It's garbage. It's just pure speculation. There's a definite strong in-force testing going on. And just because you got the script doesn't mean you're going to get away with it. Dr. Black may just turn around and say, That is -- I don't -- I don't accept it..." Bryan Alvarez shot back, "I have taken this specifically from the WWE policy, and I talked to Jerry McDivett (ph), who is the WWE attorney, who explained the testosterone replacement therapy part of this." There are at times sop many voice it becomes nothing more than background noise. Are WWE wrestlers and supporters only defending their policies because the wolves are at the door? Government oversight is always a bad answer but it might be the only one if wrestling can't explain its policies and police itself.
